We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL], 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 valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"Commvault can perform a backup no matter where you are, and it takes a backup every four hours. No matter when you come to the office, it'll take a backup if you're connected to the internet and check the system for online availability."
"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."
"The data is well-protected. It doesn't age off until it's copied. That's a big feature right there. When you reach the end of your retention, it does not expire until the secondary copy is completed. That allows you to hold onto data that otherwise would have aged off by retention. I like that feature. It's hard to just delete or lose data using the Commvault platform."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature."
"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)."
"The solution provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover our data across on-premise locations. Some of the guys have been using it to move a virtual machine from VMware to the Microsoft solution, Hyper-V. They back it up and then they restore to the different virtual machine provider, and that works great."
"The technical support is good."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"It is scalable."
"It's simple to use."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"I am not a direct user of this product, but my technical guys tell me that they like the product, and it is easy to use. We don't have any issues with it."
"No problems with stability."
"The features I find most valuable are probably the VMware snapshot backups and the Veeam replication. Their replication is very good. It can easily be used for disaster recovery in a number of situations."
"Its backup capabilities in general are great."
"It's fairly easy to manage and set up."
"The product could be improved if they wrote more PowerShell scripts for controlling Veeam."
"It's simply very good software for backup purposes."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"Its competitor, Veeam, includes backup and replication in the same product. I don't know if Commvault has it or not, but they should if they don't."
"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."
"This solution can be complex and difficult to administer because it supports all of the many platforms, so it would help if they could simplify it."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"I would like them to keep working on the new web interface to migrate out of the old interface because the old interface is a bit complex. It was driving customers away because of the complexity. If they migrate everything (100 percent of the features), this would make the product be perfect."
"Command Center definitely gives us a complete view of our data. But finding some of the granular, very small items that we sometimes have to find, such as auxiliary copies for tapes, I still find that it's easier to navigate and, sometimes, only possible to find them using the CommCell tool."
"Technical support could be improved."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"The integration needs improvement."
"They need to focus more on cloud backup."
"The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."
"I have found that the reporting could improve in its structure."
"The cloud part of it can be improved. There should be an option for Veeam in your own cloud, as compared to the Veeam cloud offering that's currently there. The rest of it is easy."
"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."
"think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"I would like a solution for SAP systems to be included."
