We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and OpenText Data Protector 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 compression and deduplication are great for optimizing bandwidth and speed. I don't have to worry about it or think about it, and, because it's a SaaS solution, I don't have to worry about the storage size."
"Well documented SQL views and customizable reports, together with scripts and workflows provides ability to automate processes and ensure proper controls are in place."
"In terms of the speed of backup, it operates seamlessly, so I'd rate it as excellent... with my daily use and workload, quite honestly I don't even notice when it backs up."
"One of the most valuable features is the encryption which helps save you from ransomware. Because the data is already encrypted, it cannot be encrypted again."
"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."
"This product has allowed us to recover data when we've had issues."
"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"Commvault integrates well with all types of operating systems and supports heterogeneous environments."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"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 stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"Support for this product needs to be improved because I have seen a couple of cases where it is taking more than the required time to solve issues."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"The solution requires constant attention. Commvault is very complex. We are constantly making adjustments and working through hotfixes, updates, and issues."
"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 get an alarm if a lot of files are deleted, for example. That could look like ransomware, even if it is not."
"The product is expensive."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"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."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
"Other tools seem to be easier to use."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"The technical support is poor and should be improved."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
"OpenText Data Protector is more difficult to use and configure than OpenText VIM. The user-friendliness of OpenText Data Protector has to be increased, and the complexity of the tool needs to be reduced."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
