We performed a comparison between Azure Site Recovery and Commvault Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery as a Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."
"They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"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."
"We use the tool for business continuity purposes."
"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"Commvault's many features can be explored to get more value from more solutions."
"The use of hyperscale storage hardware and Commvault software has allowed us to create a large storage pool and achieve significant savings in our back-end storage costs."
"It's very user-friendly. It supports a wide range of workloads. It's quite easy to use, it's very powerful and it's scalable."
"Among the best features are the BMR (Bare Metal Recovery), Live Sync, and IntelliSnap, which is used for snapshots of hypervisor storage. It's predefined so you only need to enable it and it works. I haven't seen anything like this in other backup tools like Veritas NetBackup or Dell EMC or TSM. We will use snapshotting for all our machines."
"In the VM, we have Live Recovery, Live Mount, and Live Sync."
"They have a strong development team and are market leaders in the space."
"IntelliSnap for snapshot collection is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to back up large amounts of data."
"Commvault provides data protection. Their engine is ransomware-agnostic so ransomware doesn't compromise our backup data. Therefore, we can rely on their data protection to recover and back up our production system."
"The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability."
"I would like to see more security features."
"The immutable backup could be better."
"It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support."
"Could have more integration with other platforms."
"The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"Commvault is complex even if the product has comprehensive solutions and covers pretty much every technology out there. There's no unified way to manage all of the products on one single console."
"We had some small issues with the reporting, but that was just a matter of fine-tuning the kinds of messages we receive by email. It was a little overwhelming in the initial configuration. So we reviewed our configuration with our partner and customized the reports so that we only get the important reports. I haven't seen any big issues or things that the solution is missing."
"I would like Commvault to have a feature for cybersecurity threats, e.g. securing the target backup repository. Commvault just started testing and releasing this feature, but it needs to be stabilized."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"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."
"Its technical support could be better."
"Improved documentation and user training resources could contribute to a smoother onboarding process and more effective utilization of the platform's capabilities."
