We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 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."We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"The rate of duplication is great."
"Complete Data Protection is convenient because you can manage various types of databases, and it's pretty easy to set it up."
"Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"What is most valuable to me are the search features, where you can search through large backup data sets and find what you're looking for. Our data sets are so big that we're over the petabyte mark. To find a specific file for a specific user out of 10,000 users is a challenge... If we can glean from them a general description of where it might be, the search feature comes in very handy to actually locate it and restore it for them."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"Improved documentation and user training resources could contribute to a smoother onboarding process and more effective utilization of the platform's capabilities."
"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."
"Mostly controls, visibility, cost allocation."
"Additional SaaS application support would be good... we have SaaS applications that may not be big enough for Commvault to support yet. Box.com is one we've asked about for years, and it's just not on the radar, as far as I know."
"Its competitor, Veeam, includes backup and replication in the same product. I don't know if Commvault has it or not, but they should if they don't."
"Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage."
"The Java interface is not great. The Command Center interface is far better and it looks nicer, but it doesn't have all the powerful features available in the CommServe/Java console. The place to improve the product is on the management interface level."
"The interface could be improved because it has two different consoles."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
