We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Microsoft Exchange based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two File Archiving solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support is great."
"The solution's interface is easy to use. For manageability, it doesn't matter where the resource is coming from or going to. That's the great power of the Control Panel: It's easy to use and does not matter if you manage on-prem or cloud resources."
"The solution includes the best compatibility metrics for integration and they are managed by Google support."
"The most valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X are all the general functions and the performance."
"We can go from one page to another page, from office backups to VM backups, or applications like secret backups. So everything can be configured or restored from a single pin."
"The data is well-protected. It doesn't age off until it's copied. That's a big feature right there. When you reach the end of your retention, it does not expire until the secondary copy is completed. That allows you to hold onto data that otherwise would have aged off by retention. I like that feature. It's hard to just delete or lose data using the Commvault platform."
"The solution is easy to use and the duplication is quite good."
"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."
"I find Exchange's basic mail features to be highly valuable."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange are its ease of use, and simplicity of communication, and we can track communications between teams."
"It integrates well with calendar, scheduling, etc. It's easy for employees to make meetings and plan their agendas."
"The product can scale."
"It's an excellent product from Microsoft. It provides more flexibility to the end-users. As it's connected with Teams, it also enables collaboration."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The product works very well."
"The best features are that Exchange is very customer-friendly, its interface is self-explanatory, it doesn't hang, and it keeps evolving."
"I would like to see some of the code execute a little bit better when I add new licenses and assign licenses to users. I'd like to see that information update a little quicker."
"We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines."
"They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays."
"Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved."
"Commvault likes to be ahead of the game when it comes to merging with other platforms, but sometimes it's before they have the solution truly baked in. Office 365 is an example. I feel that my company might be a litmus test for their solution, because we have such a large environment. Some of the promised solutions that we received from Commvault were more like testing solutions. They weren't really validated, meaning they were possibilities. There have been a lot of hot fixes for the solution that we're using right now, more than we expected."
"Suppose I am restoring a particular file. If I want to restore the permissions only from that particular folder, that is not possible. I have to restore all the data for that particular folder. If there was an option to just restore the permissions, that would be better."
"This solution can be complex and difficult to administer because it supports all of the many platforms, so it would help if they could simplify it."
"The reporting could be improved because the reports we get from our partner aren't sufficient. It isn't very detailed. I'm not sure if it's an issue with our partner or Metallic. They do a full backup on Monday and incremental backups throughout the week. However, we don't get detailed reports about the size of the incremental backups. The report just tells us whether a backup was successful."
"They keep making all these changes, and our system was down for four or five days. They finally got it up, but there are still lots of quirks."
"I'd like the archiving process to be faster."
"We would prefer to be able to manage the solution on the cloud."
"I would like to see the search capability of the Outlook client improved"
"The licensing model could be improved."
"When an update wants to come, it should just come maybe once or twice rather than having us deal with constant updating."
"The management of .pst files and archiving need improvement."
"Exchange took time to be deployed. It requires extensive configuration and setting up servers and managing internal network access."
