We performed a comparison between Azure Site Recovery and Commvault Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery as a Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"We use the solution across hospitality and healthcare domains. We use it for custom development. It helps us develop a seamless omnichannel for the healthcare industry."
"Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."
"They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"What I like best about Azure Site Recovery is that it's easier to use because my organization already has Azure as an Active Directory solution."
"What I love about Azure Site Recovery is its simplicity for basic configurations."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"Commvault provides data protection. Their engine is ransomware-agnostic so ransomware doesn't compromise our backup data. Therefore, we can rely on their data protection to recover and back up our production system."
"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 data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The granularity of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is very good. We've used all of it, recovering data from each of the four systems that we back up with it, and it works very well."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Commvault gives us a single platform to manage and recover our data. Since we are a research organization, backup is one of the most critical parts of our IT operations and services. Internally, we run it as a managed service, and there is a single console that makes it easy for management to see the performance."
"Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability."
"The tool should improve synchronization."
"The immutable backup could be better."
"It could include more of a backup and recovery."
"It would be good if we could replicate the solution to multiple locations simultaneously because we are currently allowed to replicate to just a single location."
"The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"The functional integration could be better."
"One issue we face is the complexity of the console. That could be improved on. It takes users time to get familiar with Commvault. On average, it takes our customers between one and three months to learn it. The console and the way you configure Commvault have very advanced settings. It takes time to understand how it works."
"We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue."
"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."
"There are two ways to use it and I prefer the web-based one over the app. I wish they were a little bit more matched in what they offer because the features aren't as available in the web-based interface as they are in the app."
"Mostly controls, visibility, cost allocation."
"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."
"Getting my guys the right access has a learning curve. Sometimes, it is, "Oh, okay. I think I got it for you." Then, they say, "Oh, nope. I logged in but I can't see this." Then, it is, "Okay, hold on. Give me a second. Let me change that. Okay, it's this one." That learning curve has probably taken a little bit longer than some simpler things. So, Metallic has some granularity, and as a systems administrator, I appreciate that. At the same time, I also realize that I have to learn it."
