We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Veritas Backup Exec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"They have a strong development team and are market leaders in the space."
"Its compression and deduplication allow us to store more backups and save storage space. The reporting is great; we are able to obtain critical business reports and infrastructure/usage information very easily."
"The return points are very valuable."
"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"It is easy to use and stable. It delivers what has been promised. When it says it can do something, it can actually do it, as opposed to some of its competitors."
"Real-time synchronization is a good feature."
"It has good stability. Its interface is very good, responsive, and easy for restoring data. I use it for backup, encryption, and restore operations, and it works. I am using many agents from VM to LMDP. I also use an agent for SQL Server, which has advanced options because it is the Enterprise version."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"Veritas Backup Exec is easily managed."
"It is a good backup tool."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can rely on it. It offers a quick recovery time when it's backing up items. The way it recovers data is excellent."
"The disk-to-disk paid backup feature is quite good, and file locking is a very important feature."
"The flexibility is very good."
"Commvault HyperScale X could improve by allowing backups of the storage area network (SAN)."
"Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved."
"It takes a lot of steps to implement backups. We have to do a lot of planning to make the solution work properly. It takes some time to create every policy. It's an easy task, but there are many steps. It's not as easy as using Veeam."
"Reduce the complexity for better understanding of the reports. There are a lot of variables in which you can get confused while elaborating on reports."
"Our main pain point is that some of our hardware is old. For example, the SSD disks for our application database are slow. It's hard to avoid a slowdown in our environment because the size of our backups is growing every year. If you're growing and don't upgrade the environment, you will see slower backups and restores. You must enhance the environment if you are growing."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"Commvault likes to be ahead of the game when it comes to merging with other platforms, but sometimes it's before they have the solution truly baked in. Office 365 is an example. I feel that my company might be a litmus test for their solution, because we have such a large environment. Some of the promised solutions that we received from Commvault were more like testing solutions. They weren't really validated, meaning they were possibilities. There have been a lot of hot fixes for the solution that we're using right now, more than we expected."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"Currently, the solution does not have the capability to restore a single mailbox, so you lose a lot of time having to restore for example ten mailboxes just to recover one."
"I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically."
"Firstly, the GUI for 2014 is mostly confusing, i.e., if you need to add any additional technical features, then it doesn't require a change to the GUI."
"The scalability could be improved even though the solution is targeted to small customers."
"The backup is not robust enough when you have a lot of technology."
"The solution could improve and adapt to new applications in the market so we can integrate Veritas Backup Exec with them to facilitate backup processes within these applications."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
"I have experienced some errors, such as failures, but there have not been very many."
