We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, IBM Spectrum Protect, and Rubrik based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"Commvault provides the status of a backup or restore operation."
"A very stable and scalable platform (you can backup/restore/protect a couple of MBs or hundred of TBs as well from the same console/platform)."
"Commvault integrates well with all types of operating systems and supports heterogeneous environments."
"I'm a big fan of the reporting. You can build your own reports; it's very customizable. You can have individual reports going to groups of people or individuals. You can have them go out multiple times a day. It's basically a free-for-all as far as reporting goes. If anybody wants a specific job report every day, you can build it, schedule it, and have it go out and never touched it again. It's pretty nice."
"It's very easy to set up the storage across all platforms. This allows us to be dynamic and change on-the-fly."
"It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"We work very closely together with IBM using their Support Center, but we have a strong contact in their development teams, and we have dedicated people from IBM working with us."
"The business value comes from the capability to overcome data losses."
"Replication processes with container storage pools allow reduction of storage space and network bandwidth, using deduplication and compression."
"It has a lot more capabilities and functions than a lot of other products. Even though it is more complex, the reason is because it gives you a lot more features. This is what I prefer, especially for a long retention."
"The main feature of this product is a flexible architecture and functionality that allows you to solve problems of any complexity and scale. Most importantly, it is not just a product that simply makes a backup, but it restores and saves a large number of services in critical situations. By the way, it works fine with different types of clouds, supports S3."
"Since the technology is reliable, it simplifies the backup process significantly. Now, our focus can primarily be on managing full backups and creating some offline copies."
"IBM Spectrum Protect offers stable software and products."
"Enterprise-wide type of architecture supports a lot of different platforms."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. "
"It has a streamlined user interface, provides an improved tech support experience, and reduces time required to locate and restore data."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"Rubrik is a very scalable and high-performing backup restore solution."
"The solution’s ransomware recovery, from a security perspective, is one of the biggest features of the product. We don't have to worry about the operational complexity of air-gapped backups and can rely more on the immutability approach. It is a highly valued feature in this solution."
"The most valuable feature has been the Live Mount feature."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"I would like to have a manager-level dashboard to review the backups. This is not from an administrative perspective where you can see the details of the execution. Rather, it would only show the percentage of completeness for each one."
"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."
"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."
"The initial setup was complex."
"I would assess the Command Center as a very useful but sometimes difficult tool. It is multipurpose. It has all the features of logging and monitoring, especially for the actual setup. For us, it is easy because we work daily with it, but for customers who only use it once a week, they sometimes have some difficulties. Command Center is not user-friendly for beginners."
"When we started using Commvault, we felt that there were some technical issues with managing it, but we are comfortable enough with managing it now. There were many issues, like index corrupting, when we first started, but all those issues were resolved by the Commvault tech team."
"We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue."
"In the next version of the solution, I would like to see cloud support."
"The solution needs to work on disaster recovery integration. Basically, VMware applications to the cloud, for example. There needs to be integration with the storage, and integration with VMware."
"I find the Level 1 and Level 2 support spend 80% of the time communicating the same information that I have already provided."
"We should be talking about the capacity of the tape drives. That's the only problem."
"Integration with Windows environments needs improvement. It should be more "assisted", both at the application and database level. It remains a product that fits better in Unix/Linux environments than in Windows environments, given its configuration procedures."
"A lot of my customers always ask for legal holds, especially on email."
"The reporting could be better."
"Software-wise, IBM Spectrum Protect didn't handle virtual machines that well. The license cost is mainly the area for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect."
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"I would like to see more information on encryption with the next release."
"Looking at how the data is broken down, we can see the total story, but sometimes it's difficult to see how big a particular snapshot is. Across 90 days of snapshots, which one is a particularly large one? Looking at the data holistically could be a lot easier."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I need to create reports to know whether something is available or not, how much frontend data is being protected, etc. Rubrik gives a lot of things in the report, which can be confusing. It isn't very easy to get reports. It shows all the backup, index, replication, and everything else in one report. So, I have to export, filter, and then do the calculations."
"The integrated reporting is not really that nicely built. The reporting functionality could definitely be a little bit more customizable from an administration perspective, with an easier to understand interface."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"Rubrik needs to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
