We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Quest NetVault 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."The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"Real-time synchronization is a good feature."
"Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful."
"It has significantly reduced the amount of manual work required to manage our backup operations. We're going from an on-prem to a non-on-prem, we're all doing nonsolutions. So we really can't compare it against anything else."
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"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."
"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."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"The functional integration could be better."
"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."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
"The solution needs better Office 365 data backup management."
"I would like to see more customizable reports. I have reports going right now, but the daily report, for example, shows something like 40 jobs that ran when there are just a few endpoints on there. I'd like to just know if the endpoint was successfully backed up, not how many times. More customizable reports would be nice to have."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
