We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and VMware SRM 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."Technical support is great."
"Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive."
"One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore."
"Commvault software is a single platform where you can enable whatever you want to use, like endpoint protection. You can enable those licenses on a single platform screen. This is where I see the value ad. This is a single management tool."
"Real-time synchronization is a good feature."
"The most valuable feature is Commvault's coverage. It has wide coverage to back up every data center environment. The product can back up OpenStack, OpenShift, and competitive solutions don't have this feature. Commvault can handle backing up any virtual workload or enterprise application."
"In terms of the speed of backup, it operates seamlessly, so I'd rate it as excellent... with my daily use and workload, quite honestly I don't even notice when it backs up."
"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."
"The simplicity of VMware SRM is one of its most important features. SRM console is straightforward to manage. It offers simplicity in monitoring, managing, and deploying, making it a unique value proposition. Additionally, Nutanix solutions also provide a simple GUI, which helps in operational efficiency."
"The most valuable features are the disaster recovery and testing."
"It made the DR process a lot faster and easier for recovery after we were familiar with the product operation."
"It is easy to implement for my clients."
"The UI is very user-friendly and testing is easy."
"If you want to do failover, it works without any problem."
"The replication is a key feature."
"The solution is very flexible."
"There are two ways to use it and I prefer the web-based one over the app. I wish they were a little bit more matched in what they offer because the features aren't as available in the web-based interface as they are in the app."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"The navigation of it needs improvement in terms of the UX. The product itself, it works as expected. It's all user experience and user interface improvements that could be made and it could be made a little more consumer-friendly."
"If I were to ask them to work on something, it would be the fidelity of the alerts that occur. They should tell me if it is a real event or not. It is easy for it to identify that something hit it but give me more information. They can build AI into the engine so that I get better output from an alert to tell me if I should really be interested in that or not."
"The deployment process should be simplified because it is not something that just anybody can do."
"They should move the CommServe outside of Windows machines and the database should be distributed among servers. It's still a single point of failure."
"The stability of the tool could be improved."
"With respect to the cloud, they need to offer more integrations."
"Cost is definitely an area where the product could be improved."
"The technical support is not quick enough to respond when a user tries to contact them."
"The product's stability could be better."
"Sometimes it can cause a bit of downtime during switchovers."
"It would be better if we could get more reporting features in VMware SRM."
"There needs to be better stability during heavy capacity in future releases."
"We would like the patching management function of this product to be improved."
"In my view, if VMware comes up with an appliance-based solution like vCenter Server (which was also Windows-based), it will be much easier for deployment. I"
