Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"The recovery options in Microsoft 365 are not adequate and it does not help to recover data from the recycle bin that is older than 90 days. The solution has made us more efficient and helps to recover data that is older than 90 days."
"The initial setup is super easy."
"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"Quick backups and restores of data are the most valuable features. It is important that it is an easy solution to integrate with the SAML authentication of our tenant, so we can have our users log into the systems and do their own restores, if needed."
"It is just about as flexible as you can get; simple. You can put it anywhere you want. You can put it on-prem or in your cloud. I could see where a team that's looking for more of a follow the bouncy ball type of solution might get a little confused. "Oh, no. What do you mean I might have to do it this way or I can't do it that way?" Sometimes, people just want to be told what to do. For an enterprise environment, like we are at NDOT, everything we do is not standard. It is not industry standard; it is not normal. We have all kinds of one-offs. We do need flexibility in the solutions that we get. I will say that Metallic has been extremely flexible in that sense, where we are able to follow the bouncy ball if we wanted to. Obviously, we didn't. We did it our way and Metallic, as a whole solution, provided that to us with no issues."
"It never fails. Sometimes we miss a backup, but there's always a reason for it, and it's not the fault of Commvault. In the last three years, we've never had to open a ticket with Commvault."
"HyperScale X is really user-friendly and has a lot of features. It's also cheaper, faster, and more stable than its competitors."
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"There's no impact on the endpoint. It runs in the background and it's something that you install and then forget about."
"Security measures, including encryption and threat detection, contribute significantly to data protection, safeguarding against unauthorized access and cyber threats."
"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."
"Some customers choose other backup solutions because AvePoint is Office 365 and CRM backup system, but they have other backup needs for Azure and so on. Such customers often choose another backup solution instead of AvePoint."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"I would like to see improvements in the tool's initial seed. The initial seed of around 10 TB of SharePoint data took 45 days to complete."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"The component in the product that can be improved revolves around the area where the tool should focus on providing more of a custom touch to the policies."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"Commvault should keep and continue to develop the Java GUI."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
"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."
"The HTML interface is a remarkable improvement. However, there are still some features that are not available in that interface that are available in the Java console, but I'm sure that will come with time."
"I would like to have a manager-level dashboard to review the backups. This is not from an administrative perspective where you can see the details of the execution. Rather, it would only show the percentage of completeness for each one."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
