We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and VMware SRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive."
"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."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication ratio. It saves most of our space and reduces the network traffic."
"Commvault's Command Center is one of the best solutions out there. You can rely on Commvault solutions for the most complex and most demanding environments."
"We specialize in Commvault and IntelliSnap. Commvault covers all our customers' backup needs in one system, and they have complete control over their Snapshot backups. Snapshots are important to our customers because of the size of their data sets."
"Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."
"Global deduplication and the indexing of the data object are the most valuable features. It saves costs on the product side by doing compression and deduplication. It will help you and make your life easy to reach the data that you need within the minimum downtime when it's required."
"SRM's best feature is automation."
"VMware SRM's most valuable features are its convenience and its use of stretched clusters."
"I like how VMware SRM is able to automate and orchestrate disaster recovery."
"The solution is consistent."
"The most valuable feature of VMware SRM is its integration with the VMware platform."
"Our systems fail over using SRM. So, we do a big bang DR, which is biannual, and we fail over our fairly massive Epic electronic health record (EHR) and our core applications. It takes us about 30 minutes to fail over using SRM, which is pretty good. In most hospitals that have Epic installed, Epic does the audit to make sure that we can fail over if something were to happen. Normally, sites will have a DR solution specific to the EHR, but right now, our pain point is the third-party tier-one clinical applications."
"The stability of SRM has been excellent. It gets a nine-out-of-ten."
"VMware is one of the best products in the industry when it comes to virtualization."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign."
"When we send a query to Commvault, they take a long time to answer our questions."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"The local support could be improved."
"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."
"Cost is definitely an area where the product could be improved."
"We have had an issue when some customers have traditional designs and sites. For example, on one another site, they are using hyper-converged, using VMware, or Nutanix. We have a problem with the synchronization between the storage for site to site. This is the main issue. We are adding some other tools to support the synchronization to allow the movement of the workload from site to site easily."
"Technical support can take some time to respond."
"VMware SRM's platform agnostics should support on-cloud usage as well."
"An improvement for SRM would be better interface compatibility with other products."
"They could enhance the automation features for the product."
"What I think can be improved is the data replication aspect."
"The configuration process could be improved."
