Cons
"Could have more integration with other platforms.""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.""It could include more of a backup and recovery.""The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline.""The immutable backup could be better.""The tool should improve synchronization.""The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved.""One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."

More Azure Site Recovery Cons →

"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.""It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be.""Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete.""There could be improvements to the backup failures.""The retention log feature could be an issue for us and can be improved. The backup schedule can also be better in terms of how you set it up.""Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault.""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.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It should have more straightforward billing. The billing was what got funky. It was really cheap. We would pay based on the usage. We paid around $225 a month for site-to-site replication."
  • "I'm not sure about the Azure Site Recovery pricing, but my organization gets monthly bills from providers."
  • "The tool's licensing is yearly and not expensive."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is neither very expensive nor very cheap."
  • "They have a license to pay."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is affordable."
  • "Azure Site Recovery is a very reasonably priced product."
  • "The tool is expensive. What is expensive to me might not be expensive to you. As I mentioned, we seek ways to reduce our costs. If the price goes down, that would be great. I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."

  • "If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
  • "There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
  • "New licensing is easy and affordable."
  • "Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
  • "Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
  • "In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually."
  • "The price could perhaps be lower as well."
  • "Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers."
