We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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)."
"Commvault has support for backing up operating systems and servers."
"The solution’s user interface for managing the on-prem environment is good."
"Security measures, including encryption and threat detection, contribute significantly to data protection, safeguarding against unauthorized access and cyber threats."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication ratio. It saves most of our space and reduces the network traffic."
"Well documented SQL views and customizable reports, together with scripts and workflows provides ability to automate processes and ensure proper controls are in place."
"We now have the capability to recover a virtual machine without relying on the NFS system, but instead are able to use certain features provided by Commvault."
"Backup and archive with a single window, with a single backup job. You only need to type "c"."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"It's stable and reliable."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The pricing could be more flexible in terms of licensing."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage."
"Additional SaaS application support would be good... we have SaaS applications that may not be big enough for Commvault to support yet. Box.com is one we've asked about for years, and it's just not on the radar, as far as I know."
"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."
"The product does not provide an option to save a copy of data on-premises."
"I would like them not to push Command Center. It is good, but I would like them to enable all the features for the Java console. Some things are not in the Java console, like Office 365 agents. In fact, they are there, but one of the engineers had to show me how to configure it. It's not done the same as in the Command Center."
"Commvault could make the product more cost-effective on the public cloud side. We are using this solution to back up whatever is still on-prem. We are not using it to back up what is on the public cloud because we have a native backup solution for that, which is provided by the vendor. As our footprint gets bigger, we will continue to evaluate this, but the last time that we did a cost analysis, the cost was not comparable to the solution that public clouds are offering."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"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."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
