We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, Rubrik, and Veritas Backup Exec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery.
"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"I can collect the target data, then we connect it to Commvault. There is not another system that can connect to our target database or target storage. This is very important for us, because there is the threat of malware right now. This can protect not only the product, but also the backup data from outside threats."
"The compression and deduplication are great for optimizing bandwidth and speed. I don't have to worry about it or think about it, and, because it's a SaaS solution, I don't have to worry about the storage size."
"HyperScale X is really user-friendly and has a lot of features. It's also cheaper, faster, and more stable than its competitors."
"Commvault is a very stable product."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"All workloads can be integrated with Commvault. If we use a new technology, Commvault integrates with it. Commvault is a data management solution with support for building the DR side of things. With Commvault we can rapidly back up and restore any application we add to our environment."
"With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"It has reduced our maintenance efforts. The amount of time and effort that would have gone in troubleshooting various issues related a data crash has been addressed by Rubrik. So, it has helped to improve our productivity. The data is being captured about our customers periodically that is secure and safe."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
"I would rate the solution's web interface at eight out of ten. It's just fantastic and intuitive. It's so easy to use. I've never done any formal training on Rubrik, but I was able to quickly come to grips with its capabilities."
"The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"Rubrik simplifies our data backup and recovery processes significantly. It's very straightforward to use. We start by tagging through VMware, and everything tagged for Rubrik is backed up automatically. Backups are much better and faster because Rubrik takes a full snapshot of the virtual machine. We recently conducted a verification by performing a restore, and even during the restore process, we could bring up the server in less than 10-15 minutes. Additionally, we have set up alerts for sensitive data, which helps us track data."
"CloudOn allows for backed up virtual machines stored offsite in Azure to be instantiated as an Azure virtual machine and spun up."
"For us, the main two features that we appreciate in this application are backup and restore. They are the main purposes for which we are using this application."
"It's quite stable, and so far, we have had no technical issues with Veritas Backup Exec."
"The interface easy to use and it is compatible with most backup devices."
"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"Recovery via Active Directory is painless and much easier than the complicated setup procedures of other products."
"The solution is good for small and medium-sized businesses."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the product."
"The most important feature is the variety of backup applications it supports, including ERP systems and most other programs, such as Microsoft."
"I would like more communication informing us on what Commvault is doing in the background."
"The interface could be improved because it has two different consoles."
"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 navigation of it needs improvement in terms of the UX. The product itself, it works as expected. It's all user experience and user interface improvements that could be made and it could be made a little more consumer-friendly."
"Support for this product needs to be improved because I have seen a couple of cases where it is taking more than the required time to solve issues."
"It would be a bit unfair to say that it's complex, due to the fact that it supports so many different workloads, however, if there's anything that is a bit of a shortcoming, then it's the fact that there's a bit of complexity involved when dealing with the product."
"Training."
"The solution's breadth and depth of cloud support are good, but could be better. Some cloud features that are common-sense, especially on AWS, are not completely integrated yet in the product. They are a work-in-progress."
"It is not Windows Cluster-Aware at the moment or Exchange DAG-Aware. If they add support for these particular use cases, it would be even better."
"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."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"I would like to see more openness for partners to access and assist in system management. Currently, access is limited, often handled by Rubrik personnel, likely due to security concerns."
"If there was something that we could get Rubrik to fix, it would be when our DBS takes snapshots of a server or the database, the replication doesn't kick off fast enough. They can't remote it to the peer site and manipulate it back up in order to move it over, take a copy of production, slap it over, and test it out. As I understand, they are working on it. Replication works. We also get spoiled by how good things are now. We get to a point where it is so easy but when something isn't instant gratification, it seems that everything else is so amazing, why isn't this right?"
"Capacity reports could definitely be improved. It's hard to determine what is using the space and why. For instance, you can see that some host is using 2 TB on the Rubrik node and the disk space on that host is 400 GBs. It's hard to explain how there can be 2 TBs of data on local storage when nothing has changed on the host for the past three days."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high."
"The deduplication feature can be improved."
"The one thing which could be improved, which we have informed Veritas about, is the ability to plug in to the cloud. Meaning, instead of using local storage if we're backing up a small user or end user, we want to be able to make it so they can direct the backups directly to the cloud. It can't be done at the moment. We can only back up to the storage then replicate to the cloud, but we cannot use the cloud as a source of storage."
"I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."
"I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically."
"It doesn't support the AIX platform."
"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
"The integration with SaaS applications like Office 365 needs to be improved."
