Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it."
"The email archiving feature is very smooth and better than others."
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"Commvault is a very stable product."
"The user interface is very easy to navigate."
"We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager."
"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the product."
"The solution was stable and reliable."
"It is one of the most stable backup solutions."
"The solution is stable."
"Veritas is good for small environments."
"The backup solution comes in different versions to support different platforms."
"Synthetic backup is valuable. It gives you the possibility to do a synthesized backup, which means that it combines a full backup and incremental backup data and gives it to you in one stream. So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."
"Veritas is simple and easy to deploy. In terms of the presentation and UI, they do their job well."
"I need documentation for Azure backups. One expectation that I have is regarding PDF documentation. When I was trying to browse the documentation, I could not locate that."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"When we started using Commvault, we felt that there were some technical issues with managing it, but we are comfortable enough with managing it now. There were many issues, like index corrupting, when we first started, but all those issues were resolved by the Commvault tech team."
"There is room for improvement in terms of data security."
"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."
"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."
"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"Currently, the solution does not have the capability to restore a single mailbox, so you lose a lot of time having to restore for example ten mailboxes just to recover one."
"It is not a recommended software when it comes to large environments where there has to be a minimal Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and/or Recover Point Objective (RPO)."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
"Its scalability should be improved."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"I have experienced some errors, such as failures, but there have not been very many."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
