Find out in this report how the two File Archiving solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's very easy to set up the storage across all platforms. This allows us to be dynamic and change on-the-fly."
"One of the most valuable features is the encryption which helps save you from ransomware. Because the data is already encrypted, it cannot be encrypted again."
"The most valuable feature of Metallic is its flexibility and user-friendly."
"Commvault has a unique administration platform with more features than its competitors."
"This is a very stable product."
"The backup and restore capabilities are key. The most useful things to us about Commvault, in general, is the breadth of the applications that it can protect as well as the features inside of it, like deduplication and encryption. When people get their data encrypted, Commvault has a way to tell if somebody is being attacked through a cybersecurity threat because their data changes. So, Commvault has what they call honeypot files out there to look to see if anybody is changing these files. Only Commvault knows which files those are, so nobody should be messing with those files. If it changes, then it will alert you to say, "Oh, I potentially have somebody messing with my files." It will alert you to something going on in your environment that probably shouldn't be happening. We deploy that with all our customers so they have this capability as well."
"The solution’s user interface for managing the on-prem environment is good."
"I'm a big fan of the reporting. You can build your own reports; it's very customizable. You can have individual reports going to groups of people or individuals. You can have them go out multiple times a day. It's basically a free-for-all as far as reporting goes. If anybody wants a specific job report every day, you can build it, schedule it, and have it go out and never touched it again. It's pretty nice."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault is an archive solution for email and files."
"We use the solution to archive emails."
"I use the solution to find data loss and restore the data."
"The archive allows the customers to search any items as far back as five or ten years ago."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas Enterprise Vault is the on-premise recall from your email into Outlook."
"Organizations can streamline governance processes and improve compliance by utilizing automated classification to tag and categorize data."
"The stability is excellent."
"The integration capabilities are second to none."
"The most common feedback I get in terms of Commvault is that it can be complex. I always refer my customers back to their own environment. Almost everything that goes into Commvault is a request by a customer. While it can be complex, it can also be very simple. You just need to understand your environment in order to make sure that you really need to turn on that extra feature or thing inside of Commvault. Maybe you don't need those things. It really depends on how simple or complex your environment is, whether you need all of Commvault's features."
"We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign."
"The main area for improvement is that we sometimes experience negative effects from their updates. If they had a larger test area for their updates, that would help."
"With so many features, sometimes you cannot find what you are looking for in the interface and you have to dig into books online to find out how to solve an issue."
"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."
"When you deploy Complete Data Protection for past services, it's more complicated because you cannot directly back up from the previous service host. We have to build a proxy server, like a middleware, to directly access the past database server. It's complex and hard for beginners to figure out."
"The speed of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is adequate. Microsoft controls the amount of bandwidth that people have when they're using Azure and the O365 environment... If they could work out something with Microsoft to improve the speed, that would help."
"The solution needs better Office 365 data backup management."
"Dealing with personal information, such as documents that contain a personal number, personal ID or something like that should be improved. Sometimes it works poorly in that regard."
"The solution is not user-friendly and the restoration is not fast. It's also tricky to get information from it."
"I cannot perform application backup, and I am not able to repair the license."
"The product is a very complicated solution. It is not easy to upgrade and get alerts of issues. You have to check it all the time to see if there is an internal error."
"The quality of support by Veritas has declined in the last year."
"Veritas Enterprise Vault should improve its indexing and customization options."
"The platform's price could be affordable for small businesses."
"The deployment phase is very hard."
