We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and OpenText EnCase eDiscovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two eDiscovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Real-time synchronization is a good feature."
"The features I find most helpful in Commvault are its ability to perform incremental backups and significantly reduce backup times for our diverse multi-architecture, multi-environment environment."
"We switched to Commvault because we were looking to centralize management. This reduced IT administrator time as well as providing stability and reliability for data backups in a single console."
"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 most valuable feature is sharing data sets like they're in a private cloud. We call it our "private cloud" because we can share anything that is inside our backup set with our colleagues or with other people, and yet, everything is still in Belgrade, in Serbia. It's not somewhere else on cloud servers. Everything is in our environment."
"The rate of duplication is great."
"The solution's stability is excellent."
"Security measures, including encryption and threat detection, contribute significantly to data protection, safeguarding against unauthorized access and cyber threats."
"The technical support is excellent."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."
"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."
"The solution is very stable."
"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console."
"I would like to see more customizable reports. I have reports going right now, but the daily report, for example, shows something like 40 jobs that ran when there are just a few endpoints on there. I'd like to just know if the endpoint was successfully backed up, not how many times. More customizable reports would be nice to have."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"Command Center definitely gives us a complete view of our data. But finding some of the granular, very small items that we sometimes have to find, such as auxiliary copies for tapes, I still find that it's easier to navigate and, sometimes, only possible to find them using the CommCell tool."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved and made cheaper."
"What I need is deeper CLI documentation for both QCommand and SQL queries."
"Getting my guys the right access has a learning curve. Sometimes, it is, "Oh, okay. I think I got it for you." Then, they say, "Oh, nope. I logged in but I can't see this." Then, it is, "Okay, hold on. Give me a second. Let me change that. Okay, it's this one." That learning curve has probably taken a little bit longer than some simpler things. So, Metallic has some granularity, and as a systems administrator, I appreciate that. At the same time, I also realize that I have to learn it."
"The product is a bit complex."
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email."
"Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process."
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"There were minor UI bugs."
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
