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."The use of hyperscale storage hardware and Commvault software has allowed us to create a large storage pool and achieve significant savings in our back-end storage costs."
"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."
"Commvault gives us a single platform to manage and recover our data. Since we are a research organization, backup is one of the most critical parts of our IT operations and services. Internally, we run it as a managed service, and there is a single console that makes it easy for management to see the performance."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"I can collect the target data, then we connect it to Commvault. There is not another system that can connect to our target database or target storage. This is very important for us, because there is the threat of malware right now. This can protect not only the product, but also the backup data from outside threats."
"What I found most valuable in Commvault Complete Data Protection is its deduplication technique, mainly because the solution has the highest deduplication ratio, giving you higher storage capacity."
"Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."
"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."
"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault."
"The product's migration process and stability need improvement."
"Compared to Rubrik, MongoDB Data Protector, and NetBackup, Commvault is better. The licensing team was quite tricky recently because they stopped the unlimited files for that license. Commvault made a bank of 500GB only, a node-based license can take it, which is disappointing. Reporting needs to be more granular. Also, there should be a showback of data being backed up, and the backup cost to share the cost internally with the department."
"We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"There could be improvements to the backup failures."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"There were minor UI bugs."
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process."
"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."
