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.
"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"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 recovery features are useful. It is easy to recover data. If something happens, we can easily recover data. We have faced ransomware issues twice, and we recovered because of Commvault."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"There's no impact on the endpoint. It runs in the background and it's something that you install and then forget about."
"We can use it on-premises and in the cloud."
"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"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."
"Data Protector is quite simple and easy to deploy. The deployment is always the same. It's on a server, and the agents are deployed to the machines in a straightforward way. We have two engineers who deploy and manage all our backup solutions."
"I like that it supports HPE UNIX servers since many backup solutions do not - this is the main reason why we chose this solution."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The initial setup process for the solution is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly, to backup Microsoft exchange."
"Commvault could benefit from increased automation to streamline processes and enhance predictability."
"Setup is complex."
"I would like to have a manager-level dashboard to review the backups. This is not from an administrative perspective where you can see the details of the execution. Rather, it would only show the percentage of completeness for each one."
"The price of Commvault HyperScale X could improve."
"Commvault HyperScale X could improve by allowing backups of the storage area network (SAN)."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"The solution must provide deception files across the network."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The technical support is poor and should be improved."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"Micro Focus Data Protector must improve its overall evolution record. They need to focus on hardware based instant recovery, client recovery, and cloud ability. Now there is no cloud ability."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"This solution is not scalable."
"In SAP restoration, we faced issues with changing the SIDs and changing the path for every backup object. It is quite a lengthy process to do that."
"The GUI could be updated. The GUI hasn't changed since version 6. It's on version 10 now. The reporting could also be better. Also, while Data Protector is excellent for backing up physical hardware, it needs more features for backing up VM images because many environments use hypervisor."
