We performed a comparison between AvePoint Cloud Backup and Commvault Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"The recovery options in Microsoft 365 are not adequate and it does not help to recover data from the recycle bin that is older than 90 days. The solution has made us more efficient and helps to recover data that is older than 90 days."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"The initial setup is super easy."
"Commvault HyperScale X is also a good choice for regulations that require the backup system to be isolated from the rest of the infrastructure."
"We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager."
"It's great for getting data back."
"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."
"Restoring is very fast. In testing, I did a restore for a single item from a mailbox. Within a minute, I had the message back in my mailbox. So, it didn't take hours or days. Obviously, there will be a limit. If we suddenly go into DR and have to restore five terabytes of emails for people, then it will take a couple of days, which would be acceptable. For general usage, where we have to do the odd restore, we have never had issues. It happens within minutes."
"It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate."
"Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive."
"The solution also provides me with a complete view of our data. I write scripts to report information from the Command Center daily. I report it in HTML and have the status of the last day for the whole environment."
"The restoration could be faster."
"Some customers choose other backup solutions because AvePoint is Office 365 and CRM backup system, but they have other backup needs for Azure and so on. Such customers often choose another backup solution instead of AvePoint."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"The component in the product that can be improved revolves around the area where the tool should focus on providing more of a custom touch to the policies."
"I would like to see improvements in the tool's initial seed. The initial seed of around 10 TB of SharePoint data took 45 days to complete."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"They can improve the security level for Windows. When mapping to the Windows, Commvault can take full control over data volumes so that the attacker can't delete the volume data, but the Windows admin can access the volumes. It would be great to block access at that level."
"For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments."
"Suppose I am restoring a particular file. If I want to restore the permissions only from that particular folder, that is not possible. I have to restore all the data for that particular folder. If there was an option to just restore the permissions, that would be better."
"There is room for improvement in the data center application running on the cloud for the platform."
"Training."
"The solution's breadth and depth of cloud support are good, but could be better. Some cloud features that are common-sense, especially on AWS, are not completely integrated yet in the product. They are a work-in-progress."
"The deployment process should be simplified because it is not something that just anybody can do."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
