We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Commvault Cloud 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."I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"The product's stability is good enough."
"What I found most valuable in Commvault Complete Data Protection is its deduplication technique, mainly because the solution has the highest deduplication ratio, giving you higher storage capacity."
"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."
"The embedded deduplication engine is really good because we use a Near Line SAS disk as a repository for our backups, and we don't need to pay for another appliance such as a Data Domain or Quantum so that we can have hardware-based deduplication."
"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."
"There are many valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X giving many possibilities to complete jobs."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product alerts the security team about threats."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"There are two ways to use it and I prefer the web-based one over the app. I wish they were a little bit more matched in what they offer because the features aren't as available in the web-based interface as they are in the app."
"We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue."
"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."
"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."
"I just wanted to compare the features, which are there in EMC NetWorker, which are not available in Commvault. We have things using Networker."
"The product's migration process and stability need improvement."
"The solution needs better Office 365 data backup management."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
