We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and VMware SRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Integration with Active Directory and the Azure platform make it a complete solution."
"We have VMware, Hyper-V, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL. We have a lot of different systems, and all of them are supported under one licensing agreement. That's one of the benefits."
"The most valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X are all the general functions and the performance."
"The compression and deduplication are great for optimizing bandwidth and speed. I don't have to worry about it or think about it, and, because it's a SaaS solution, I don't have to worry about the storage size."
"It's a complete software that can protect all the main applications. Perhaps that's the feature I like most. The integration with the NetApp and other apps is also very nice."
"Commvault provides the status of a backup or restore operation."
"Commvault helps to ensure broad coverage with the discovery of unprotected workloads. This is important. From the moment that we set it up, we mostly have customers telling us what they need to back up. Then, you can list the machines that are not yet protected. Sometimes, we can see that they are unaware of this, and say, "We didn't know that those servers were not protected yet," or "We did not back them up yet.""
"The Commvault Complete Data Protection interface is straightforward to use."
"SRM's best feature is automation."
"The solution is simple to use and has effective automation."
"The UI is very user-friendly and testing is easy."
"The solution can be deployed in a couple of hours."
"It has a good and effective user interface."
"I would rate the ease of setting up and configuring my recovery plan in VMware SRM, a ten out of ten, with ten being the easiest."
"The most valuable feature is the automation, where you press a button and everything fails over seamlessly."
"My impression is that the initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"Support for this product needs to be improved because I have seen a couple of cases where it is taking more than the required time to solve issues."
"The product is expensive."
"With respect to the cloud, they need to offer more integrations."
"We get an alarm if a lot of files are deleted, for example. That could look like ransomware, even if it is not."
"The back of virtual machines needs improvement. I know they're working on it. They're always doing new things but I think they still have a little bit more to do."
"There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console."
"They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays."
"The stability of the tool could be improved."
"The solution currently has a five-minute RPO, meaning if the VM goes down we can lose up to five minutes of data which is a big deal when it relates to database replication."
"Lacks stability and as a result requires continuous monitoring."
"Sometimes it can cause a bit of downtime during switchovers."
"VMware SRM needs to improve its pricing."
"You cannot use VMware SRM in conjunction with storage replication software."
"The primary site lacks adequate equipment, such as power backup and cooling, which can lead to downtime during issues like power outages or overheating."
"Cost is definitely an area where the product could be improved."
"The interface is not easy to use and can be made more user-friendly."
