We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and VMware SRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Metallic helped me to restore the data within an hour, which is much faster than restoring from Microsoft services."
"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."
"It's a complete software that can protect all the main applications. Perhaps that's the feature I like most. The integration with the NetApp and other apps is also very nice."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Complete Data Protection are the complete feature sets it provides in one platform. You are able to backup many different types of data, such as virtual machines, servers, cloud, endpoints, Microsoft Office365, and Gmail. The usage of the solution is flexible."
"This is a very stable product."
"We can use it on-premises and in the cloud."
"It's easy to configure multiple jobs and media agent locations for each server. We do offsite backups for all of our servers, but we also do onsite hourly backups of them. That has benefited us several times when we had an incident and didn't want to roll back a server an entire day."
"The 1-Touch recovery feature is helpful for all customers."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity of operations."
"The solution runs well in the background, just in case we need it."
"VMware SRM's most valuable features are its convenience and its use of stretched clusters."
"The thing I like the most about SMR is the reduced cost of management."
"This SRM solution can improve your footprint within a data center."
"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery testing."
"Incorporating non-disruptive testing capability in disaster recovery procedures has significantly benefited the overall recovery testing processes."
"In terms of recovery, if you have a test job script, you can put it on top of it. You can create custom steps so that it will be more granular. It will be an easy, one click solution when it comes to the recovery application."
"The pricing could be more flexible in terms of licensing."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"Commvault could benefit from increased automation to streamline processes and enhance predictability."
"Mostly controls, visibility, cost allocation."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."
"The customer support is not good."
"Our main pain point is that some of our hardware is old. For example, the SSD disks for our application database are slow. It's hard to avoid a slowdown in our environment because the size of our backups is growing every year. If you're growing and don't upgrade the environment, you will see slower backups and restores. You must enhance the environment if you are growing."
"An improvement for SRM would be better interface compatibility with other products."
"What I think can be improved is the data replication aspect."
"The solution could improve by removing some of the limitations we have been facing. There could be better integrated."
"There is room for improvement in the automation and orchestration aspects of this solution."
"I would like to see this solution be more scalable."
"The version we are currently using is not the latest and greatest but it has buggy behavior in some browsers."
"The technical support is not quick enough to respond when a user tries to contact them."
"The administration guides can be complicated and difficult to use, so it would be helpful if it was made easier."
