We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, Iron Mountain Connect, and Veeam Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"The backup and restore capabilities are key. The most useful things to us about Commvault, in general, is the breadth of the applications that it can protect as well as the features inside of it, like deduplication and encryption. When people get their data encrypted, Commvault has a way to tell if somebody is being attacked through a cybersecurity threat because their data changes. So, Commvault has what they call honeypot files out there to look to see if anybody is changing these files. Only Commvault knows which files those are, so nobody should be messing with those files. If it changes, then it will alert you to say, "Oh, I potentially have somebody messing with my files." It will alert you to something going on in your environment that probably shouldn't be happening. We deploy that with all our customers so they have this capability as well."
"Metallic helped me to restore the data within an hour, which is much faster than restoring from Microsoft services."
"Among the best features are the BMR (Bare Metal Recovery), Live Sync, and IntelliSnap, which is used for snapshots of hypervisor storage. It's predefined so you only need to enable it and it works. I haven't seen anything like this in other backup tools like Veritas NetBackup or Dell EMC or TSM. We will use snapshotting for all our machines."
"Commvault has a unique administration platform with more features than its competitors."
"Well documented SQL views and customizable reports, together with scripts and workflows provides ability to automate processes and ensure proper controls are in place."
"Commvault software is a single platform where you can enable whatever you want to use, like endpoint protection. You can enable those licenses on a single platform screen. This is where I see the value ad. This is a single management tool."
"Commvault integrates well with all types of operating systems and supports heterogeneous environments."
"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"The integration with some storage systems like HP or Nutanix and great support are the most valuable features. You get productivity support. You get a response within one hour, even in the evening or night. The functionality of the whole software is good."
"One of the most valuable features is the integration. Another good feature is the instant recovery."
"Features with the most value are Instant VM Recovery, SQL Explorer and Exchange Explorer."
"The instant VM recovery feature is the most valuable. It is a very good tool for disaster recovery. It is also easy to manage."
"The replication feature has proven to be the most valuable feature for us."
"No problems with stability."
"The backup and replication features are most valuable."
"Veeam Backup Replication has good performance and can do location-to-location backups. Additionally, it is user-friendly and easy to manage."
"Data center backup must be improved."
"There could be improvements to the backup failures."
"The solution needs better Office 365 data backup management."
"Commvault has two management dashboards. The first is the CommCell Console, which is Java-based, and the second is Command Center. We don't always find all the features we need in the Command Center and we need to go through the Java console, and sometimes features are only on the Java console."
"When we send a query to Commvault, they take a long time to answer our questions."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"We had some small issues with the reporting, but that was just a matter of fine-tuning the kinds of messages we receive by email. It was a little overwhelming in the initial configuration. So we reviewed our configuration with our partner and customized the reports so that we only get the important reports. I haven't seen any big issues or things that the solution is missing."
"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."
"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"It is efficient but can improve security-wise."
"It needs to offer an automatic check for backups."
"Sometimes Veeam is not that effective when it comes to legacy environments."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
"The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."
"Recovery speed is slow. Full recovery on large machines (1TB+) takes too long"
