We performed a comparison between Barracuda Intronis Backup and Commvault Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"The cloud side of it is nice. Everything happens behind the scenes without you realizing it, which is nice. It doesn't interrupt usage. There is also the freedom and ease of use of the cloud portal, which you can use to manage your backup. One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes. If you have access to admin accounts and everything else, it can happen in 10 minutes. The ability to go in and just restore a particular file without having to do a full restore is also very useful. You can just go in and pick the files that you need to restore, and the same is with email. You can just go in, find an email, and restore that email without having to do a full backup of all the data or a full restore of the data. I feel very safe because it is not just about the backup; it is about the protection of the data from outside threats. They have a lot of areas of ATP, that is, advanced threat protection. You don't see that much on the backup side. You see it more on the email side. In the email protection, you know it is there at the back. It moves the quarantine emails that come through into a sandbox area, and then you can choose in the sandbox. You can open up an email in the sandbox to make sure that if there is a virus, it can't harm you. You can also plan how often your backups run, such as every six hours or four hours. It is the same with email. They also have a great PhishLine package, which is phishing attack training. You can have the strongest and the best backup and security that you can, but the end user is always the weakest link. They send almost like testing emails to end users to help them identify and understand phishing emails and prevent user or phishing attacks. It is a very good package."
"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."
"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."
"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."
"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"Commvault HyperScale X is also a good choice for regulations that require the backup system to be isolated from the rest of the infrastructure."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"Commvault provides the status of a backup or restore operation."
"One of the most valuable features is the encryption which helps save you from ransomware. Because the data is already encrypted, it cannot be encrypted again."
"This product has allowed us to recover data when we've had issues."
"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."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."
"When we manage the box physically, we don't have as much control as we do when we manage from the cloud. The best management is from the cloud."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"The HTML interface is a remarkable improvement. However, there are still some features that are not available in that interface that are available in the Java console, but I'm sure that will come with time."
"Commvault is complex even if the product has comprehensive solutions and covers pretty much every technology out there. There's no unified way to manage all of the products on one single console."
"The functional integration could be better."
"The product is expensive."
"The local support could be improved."
"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."
"Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage."
"It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be."
