Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The most valuable feature of Commvault HyperScale X is the automatic nature of its operation. We don't need to worry about sets of documents. It worked automatically, we don't need to think about it. When you set the solution up in a good way, you don't need to worry."
"Commvault has a unique administration platform with more features than its competitors."
"The backup and restore capabilities are key. The most useful things to us about Commvault, in general, is the breadth of the applications that it can protect as well as the features inside of it, like deduplication and encryption. When people get their data encrypted, Commvault has a way to tell if somebody is being attacked through a cybersecurity threat because their data changes. So, Commvault has what they call honeypot files out there to look to see if anybody is changing these files. Only Commvault knows which files those are, so nobody should be messing with those files. If it changes, then it will alert you to say, "Oh, I potentially have somebody messing with my files." It will alert you to something going on in your environment that probably shouldn't be happening. We deploy that with all our customers so they have this capability as well."
"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."
"We can go from one page to another page, from office backups to VM backups, or applications like secret backups. So everything can be configured or restored from a single pin."
"The solution is very stable and offers a good level of performance."
"The multi-tenancy is the most valuable feature for us because it's the only software that is fully multi-tenant and that has all the features we need to provide to all our tenants. It provides us with advanced features for MySQL and Oracle, among other platforms"
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"This solution is stable."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"They should move the CommServe outside of Windows machines and the database should be distributed among servers. It's still a single point of failure."
"Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"They can always improve the interface design to make it easier. Sometimes, you need to click two or three times to do something. They should look at what tabs are used most and make them more accessible, to cut the time it takes to get to that information."
"Its competitor, Veeam, includes backup and replication in the same product. I don't know if Commvault has it or not, but they should if they don't."
"We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue."
"This is not a very high standard product."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
