We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, Rubrik, and Veritas NetBackup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery.
"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."
"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"Quick backups and restores of data are the most valuable features. It is important that it is an easy solution to integrate with the SAML authentication of our tenant, so we can have our users log into the systems and do their own restores, if needed."
"With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn."
"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
"Technical support is great."
"Commvault provides the status of a backup or restore operation."
"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."
"Instant recovery is a good feature."
"The main benefit is that we are secured in terms of workloads. We know that if we need to restore any VMs, or even any files inside a VM, that we will succeed 100 percent. This means that we don't need to spend much time administering the backup environment because we know it is self-healing and efficient. So, we are spending that time on something else, which is always a plus."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"The archiving, off-of-box, is awesome. It lets you put your data where you want it and gives you the peace of mind of having more than one copy of it. And it's smart about the way that it does the archiving. It doesn't just copy one-for-one. It does all of its processing of the deduplication and compression before it sends it off to the archive, which helps with our cloud costs."
"Also, the web interface is really great. The design, from a user-experience standpoint, is really straightforward and easy to use... they nailed it. Usually, from the very first panel, the dashboard that you land on after login, you've got most of your functionality right around where you need it to be. You've got your new items on the left, you've got your support on the top right. Nothing really seems out of place or just stuck in someplace."
"Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. "
"Rubrik is an easy and automatic solution that needs no manual intervention."
"The VM portal and the CloudCatalyst are two of the solution's most valuable features."
"It is very easy to back up and recover files compared to other products."
"The most valuable feature is its stability."
"AIR and duplication, overall management and troubleshooting."
"Management interface was simple to use once understood."
"They are among the top in the world for backup and recovery."
"The most valuable feature is the trouble-free operation, as we have not had many problems with it."
"The tool's most valuable feature is backups."
"I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly."
"I would like them not to push Command Center. It is good, but I would like them to enable all the features for the Java console. Some things are not in the Java console, like Office 365 agents. In fact, they are there, but one of the engineers had to show me how to configure it. It's not done the same as in the Command Center."
"Data center backup must be improved."
"They can improve the security level for Windows. When mapping to the Windows, Commvault can take full control over data volumes so that the attacker can't delete the volume data, but the Windows admin can access the volumes. It would be great to block access at that level."
"With so many features, sometimes you cannot find what you are looking for in the interface and you have to dig into books online to find out how to solve an issue."
"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"There is room for improvement through a further extension of their Office 365 backup platform. In addition, it's still a bit cost-prohibitive to backup NAS. Those would be the two primary areas for improvement."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"The restoration method and the compression ratio need improvement."
"The implementation process could be simplified to make it quicker."
"They currently have the Java concept and it should be less intensive and take less load."
"System administrators would be more efficient in NetBackup if the number of tools and command lines was reduced."
"It gets a lot of new features, but improvements in basic functionality are often sacrificed for a shiny new bullet point to put on sales presentations."
"We are facing a challenge regarding the support for Docker and Kubernetes features. We hope for the possibility of directly backing up Kubernetes and Docker images without the necessity of taking full virtual machine backups."
"We faced so many backup configuration issues. And from the Veritas side, they couldn't fix that issue. So we started from scratch, purchased everything, and then we configured everything. Therefore, the support could be better."
"It's not a user-friendly solution. It's a little bit complicated. The UI is not very friendly."
