We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, Rubrik, 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."Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"The solution is very stable and offers a good level of performance."
"The return points are very valuable."
"The Command Center is provided from the web interface. You can back up the data for everybody, but also you can give everybody the ability to view and restore their data. For example, if a laptop, machine, or environment is owned by X, then X can look in and see the environment and data that he has backed up. He can see everything that he owns and can manage the environment as he wishes. It gives him an excellent view of his environment and infrastructure. Also, if you are a service provider, you can back up data for multiple companies and give everyone an interface for their environment to manage, backup, and restore data. Commvault has done excellent work in this area."
"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"Commvault integrates well with all types of operating systems and supports heterogeneous environments."
"Scalability, as well as stability, are a couple of important parts of this solution."
"The multi-tenancy is the most valuable feature for us because it's the only software that is fully multi-tenant and that has all the features we need to provide to all our tenants. It provides us with advanced features for MySQL and Oracle, among other platforms"
"The live mounting and compatibility of different operating systems is great."
"Rubrik is a faster unit from a hardware perspective. Things, like Live Mount, mean we can bring services back straightaway, then have them transition back into the live storage in the background. Because we can use Live Mount to do instant restores, a restore is now a five-minute job. Then, the rest of it is done in the background, rather than doing something for an hour before you actually get the restore back."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. "
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"Rubrik is an easy and automatic solution that needs no manual intervention."
"This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring."
"From my experience, Veeam is very good. Its interface is user-friendly. We can restore it whenever. It's not complicated. It's very easy to manage and administration is very easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines."
"Its performance is fine. It supports us very well. It is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."
"Enables us to restore the VM when the needs arises and for disaster recovery."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is definitely very useful and simple to learn, and the restoring processes are very straightforward, making it a very solid product."
"The replication feature has proven to be the most valuable feature for us."
"It is way easier to take backup with Veeam Backup & Replication than the regular ones."
"It would be nice to have just one email report come in, then we can filter out failures. If everything is backed up, we really don't need to see the report. If it is in a single report. A simpler customised report would be good."
"Training."
"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."
"It takes a lot of steps to implement backups. We have to do a lot of planning to make the solution work properly. It takes some time to create every policy. It's an easy task, but there are many steps. It's not as easy as using Veeam."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"The reporting could be improved because the reports we get from our partner aren't sufficient. It isn't very detailed. I'm not sure if it's an issue with our partner or Metallic. They do a full backup on Monday and incremental backups throughout the week. However, we don't get detailed reports about the size of the incremental backups. The report just tells us whether a backup was successful."
"We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines."
"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."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
"I would like to see Rubrik better integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. Instead of just backing up a full domain controller, I would like the solution to have Active Directory object knowledge so we can restore specific objects in Active Directory versus restoring the whole domain controller."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
"It is an expensive product."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version. The newer version was completely filled with bugs and we needed to purge the system every week until we update to a newer version that was available one year later. The stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better."
"The whole graphical user interface is very easy, but the details are hidden deeply and aren't easily visible. You cannot easily see the details and explore or choose the settings. We should be able to easily explore various settings and options. If you can see more details while choosing the settings or setting it up, it helps in getting the software running easily. For example, in Microsoft Office, you can see much more in the interface than in Veeam Backup & Replication. It is a complex software. It is not easy to use, and you must know what to do and where to do. The user manual has more than a thousand pages. They should give some direct information through the software and improve the software. On their website, they can have some videos and step-by-step information to make us come straight to our goals."
"They fixed everything that I was hoping for. It is pretty good. There were a few things in 9.x that I was wishing for, and they came true in version 10. We were looking for retention without having to make a copy job. We're getting ready to migrate m365 to the cloud. I haven't dived into it to make sure, but I wish the m365 backup would integrate into the current console so that we don't have to use two different consoles."
"I have found that the reporting could improve in its structure."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
"I would like to see the licensing model improved. They have recently changed the model and have made it more complicated."
"The cost needs to be considered."
"Cross-hypervisor replication can be improved."
"The stability for AIX machines could be better."
