Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration.""We use the solution across hospitality and healthcare domains. We use it for custom development. It helps us develop a seamless omnichannel for the healthcare industry.""The most useful thing is that it provides a snapshot of your environment in about 15 minutes. It is stable, and it always works. It is also scalable and easy to set up.""What I like best about Azure Site Recovery is that it's easier to use because my organization already has Azure as an Active Directory solution.""Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore.""Azure Site Recovery's automated file synchronization was a game-changer in managing legacy systems.""It is a very stable product and very scalable.""Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."

"The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates.""The solution's stability is excellent.""Scalability, as well as stability, are a couple of important parts of this solution.""It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate.""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.""Cloud integration.""The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable.""Commvault provides the status of a backup or restore operation."

Cons
"When it runs, it runs well but when it doesn't run, the solution needs to make it clearer as to why and what the troubleshooting process is. All this would be possible if the error logging was streamlined a bit.""The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing.""The tool should improve synchronization.""Could have more integration with other platforms.""One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately.""The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional.""The immutable backup could be better.""The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge.""Commvault could benefit from increased automation to streamline processes and enhance predictability.""We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue.""Compared to Rubrik, MongoDB Data Protector, and NetBackup, Commvault is better. The licensing team was quite tricky recently because they stopped the unlimited files for that license. Commvault made a bank of 500GB only, a node-based license can take it, which is disappointing. Reporting needs to be more granular. Also, there should be a showback of data being backed up, and the backup cost to share the cost internally with the department.""Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer.""Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault.""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.""For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It should have more straightforward billing. The billing was what got funky. It was really cheap. We would pay based on the usage. We paid around $225 a month for site-to-site replication."
  • "I'm not sure about the Azure Site Recovery pricing, but my organization gets monthly bills from providers."
  • "The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
  • "They have a license to pay."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is affordable."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."
  • "The tool is expensive. What is expensive to me might not be expensive to you. As I mentioned, we seek ways to reduce our costs. If the price goes down, that would be great. I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."

  • "If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
  • "There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
  • "New licensing is easy and affordable."
  • "Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
  • "Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
  • "In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually."
  • "The price could perhaps be lower as well."
  • "Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers."
