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.
"Technical support is great."
"It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it."
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"Metallic helped me to restore the data within an hour, which is much faster than restoring from Microsoft services."
"Commvault has a unique administration platform with more features than its competitors."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"This is a very stable product."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication ratio. It saves most of our space and reduces the network traffic."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is information backup."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature involves VMware Instant Recovery, which allows one to do restoration within seconds."
"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"The initial setup gets easier the more you do it."
"I personally find Veritas NetBackup Applicance hassle-free."
"They are a large company with good best practices, and they give good support."
"This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system. It is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients."
"I would assess the Command Center as a very useful but sometimes difficult tool. It is multipurpose. It has all the features of logging and monitoring, especially for the actual setup. For us, it is easy because we work daily with it, but for customers who only use it once a week, they sometimes have some difficulties. Command Center is not user-friendly for beginners."
"Its dashboard could be improved to provide a summarized version of all the jobs instead of having to go through each one of them. We should easily be able to glance at all issues. If I had not gone with the on-premise version, I would have had regular reports with the cloud version. It would be an advantage if they increase the compression rate of the backup. I am keeping it on-prem, so I'll need more disks depending on the policies that I have in the retention period. Its price could also be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"The product does not provide an option to save a copy of data on-premises."
"There is room for improvement in terms of data security."
"It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be."
"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 setup is not that straightforward or easy. Even the documentation is not generic or public like other products. You have to be a partner or you have to have a specific account and download it from the vendor themselves."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
"They could improve the interface a bit."
"More licensing options could be introduced to the software. It is currently based on capacity only. Compared to competitors, it is difficult to position it economically everywhere. From the usability point of view, they are making many improvements on new interfaces, the SaaS offering, etc."
"The installation is cumbersome."
"The monitoring could be a bit better."
"With technical support, it feels like they aren't well trained and it takes forever to get answers out of them."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
