Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use Commvault Command Center for backups and restores and for the creation of new clients. We use it for other functionalities as well. In terms of VMware, I can go directly to the Command Center, enter VMware, and I can search it directly. Command Center is very useful and it can be used for more advanced techniques."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication ratio. It saves most of our space and reduces the network traffic."
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"They have a strong development team and are market leaders in the space."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The deduplication is the most valuable feature because it helps to control the overhead."

"I would say flexibility is the most important feature of the product. The performance and speed are the best on the market."
"They can improve the VMware recovery and VMware backup. There is an improvement area on the VMware infrastructure. They can make available what they call a VSA proxy. They can have an appliance-type setup to deploy VSA backups and help recover quicker. They can have an appliance ready. Instead of having to have a server dedicated to that and installing software on a server, they can just provide an actual appliance for that."
"The speed of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is adequate. Microsoft controls the amount of bandwidth that people have when they're using Azure and the O365 environment... If they could work out something with Microsoft to improve the speed, that would help."
"I would like Commvault to have a feature for cybersecurity threats, e.g. securing the target backup repository. Commvault just started testing and releasing this feature, but it needs to be stabilized."

"The integration of Metallic could improve. It would be a benefit if Metallic could integrate with multiple applications or platforms."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"The Dell EMC PowerProtect Data Manager reports could improve. There should be different kinds of reports on failures, such as dashboards that we can submit to top management or auditors."
"You need to use additional software to back up entire environments. It will be good if they could support entire tape libraries."
"Management is difficult and it is hard to determine when things aren't working properly."
"A lot of improvement is required in Dell's first level of support."
"The interface is too complex."
"There is always room for improvement. The compression ratio should be improved as well as the efficiency."
