We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and OpenText Data Protector based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Commvault is both very stable and scalable."
"The expanse of the decoys that they have is valuable. They cover everything on the corporate side that you would think of, such as Windows, Linux, and even applications like SAP. They also go into the OT environment and emulate OT devices as well."
"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 return points are very valuable."
"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"The most valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X are all the general functions and the performance."
"One of the most valuable features is the encryption which helps save you from ransomware. Because the data is already encrypted, it cannot be encrypted again."
"We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"Integration with HP storage is a very strong point for Micro Focus Data Protector. It is the best solution for general operations like backup and restore. Zero downtime backup (ZDB) is one very important feature, which is basically the integration with the storage array. It is a very strong feature. We're using storage with snapshots with this integration."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication."
"When we send a query to Commvault, they take a long time to answer our questions."
"Commvault Complete Data Protection meets market standards, but an area for improvement is its licensing model. It would be good if it could use the subscription-based model rather than the traditional licensing model."
"We do not use Command Center, but we are using CommCell Console. We're navigating and manipulating the entire environment by using CommCell Console, and we are comfortable with it. We didn't find Command Center user-friendly. We found it a bit difficult to use. It decreases the efficiency of the tasks to be performed. It was probably implemented as a centralized application to manage all environments, but it was probably not a good idea. I and my colleagues across the globe are comfortable with using CommCell Console rather than Command Center."
"The product's migration process and stability need improvement."
"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"The solution must provide deception files across the network."
"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."
"The only problem is that some of what we snap most of is the VMs. We found about 10% of the VMs that we can't snap because they're too interactive. It actually causes the application to crash."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"I don't like this solution so much because it's very technical and compared to Commvault and Veeam, it's not so user-friendly. The interface needs improvement."
"Virtualization."
"This solution is not scalable."
"The solution is not intuitive enough. I think they should work on the user experience and the graphical interface. These can be a lot better."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say integrations with MongoDB. We use MongoDB and we need to go to scripts to do backups. We need more integrations."
"Integration with the market applications must be improved, such as MS Exchange, MS Active Directory, SAP and Oracle. Other backup tools are more efficient with the integrated backups."
"We're not satisfied with the robustness and stability of the software since Micro Focus took it in-house. The GUI is one thing they could improve. It's still a bit archaic. Data Protector needs a more functional, user-friendly GUI."
