We performed a comparison between Acronis Backup and Commvault Complete Data Protection based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"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."
"I can collect the target data, then we connect it to Commvault. There is not another system that can connect to our target database or target storage. This is very important for us, because there is the threat of malware right now. This can protect not only the product, but also the backup data from outside threats."
"It is a stable solution."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn."
"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 most valuable feature is the ability it gives me to automate backups well and consistently, and to follow up on them as well. It also provides consistent recovery processes. Whenever we have needed to do a restore, it has worked quickly and efficiently."
"What I found most valuable in Commvault Complete Data Protection is its deduplication technique, mainly because the solution has the highest deduplication ratio, giving you higher storage capacity."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"The initial installation is straightforward and took approximately two days. However, the process could be more simple."
"Commvault Complete Data Protection would benefit from improving their training resources."
"The deployment process should be simplified because it is not something that just anybody can do."
"The initial setup was complicated."
"When we started using Commvault, we felt that there were some technical issues with managing it, but we are comfortable enough with managing it now. There were many issues, like index corrupting, when we first started, but all those issues were resolved by the Commvault tech team."
"The main area for improvement is that we sometimes experience negative effects from their updates. If they had a larger test area for their updates, that would help."
"The interface could be improved because it has two different consoles."
"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."
