* Comparison done based on the information available in the competitor's website. Details may vary with the real product.
RecoveryManager Plus is licensed based only on the number of users backed up. It is priced affordably at USD 475 for 250 Domain Users annually. You can also opt for a Perpetual Licensing model. Commvault Active Directory iDataAgent has two licensing patterns; a traditional licensing pattern based upon products and features in your CommCell, and a capacity licensing pattern based on the amount of data backed up.
From the above comparison, it is clear that RecoveryManager Plus clearly trumps Commvault iDataAgent when it comes to backing up and restoring your Active Directory environment. GPOs play a very vital role in Active Directory administration and the absence of a quick way to restore deleted GPOs makes RecoveryManager Plus better than Commvault iDataAgent. In addition, with the ability to backup and restore extended schema attributes, RecoveryManager Plus presents itself as a superior alternative.
