"This product has allowed us to recover data when we've had issues."
"Security measures, including encryption and threat detection, contribute significantly to data protection, safeguarding against unauthorized access and cyber threats."
"It's very user-friendly. It supports a wide range of workloads. It's quite easy to use, it's very powerful and it's scalable."
"It provides us a good holistic view of everything that we have backed up so far. It also provides us all the recovery points. If we look at an an object that has been backed up, we can tell how many retention copies it has, how far we can go, and recover any data, if needed."
"The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems."
"The Command Center is provided from the web interface. You can back up the data for everybody, but also you can give everybody the ability to view and restore their data. For example, if a laptop, machine, or environment is owned by X, then X can look in and see the environment and data that he has backed up. He can see everything that he owns and can manage the environment as he wishes. It gives him an excellent view of his environment and infrastructure. Also, if you are a service provider, you can back up data for multiple companies and give everyone an interface for their environment to manage, backup, and restore data. Commvault has done excellent work in this area."
"Commvault can perform a backup no matter where you are, and it takes a backup every four hours. No matter when you come to the office, it'll take a backup if you're connected to the internet and check the system for online availability."

"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."

"It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast."
"Veaam technical support, from my perspective, is one of the best technical support I've ever engaged with."
"Veeam makes modular solutions, so you can install Veeam Backup for Office 365 and Veeam Backup and Replication in one single server. You can do an all in one installation, and roll it out."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"They can always improve the interface design to make it easier. Sometimes, you need to click two or three times to do something. They should look at what tabs are used most and make them more accessible, to cut the time it takes to get to that information."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The initial setup was complicated."
"They need to integrate configuration screens or videos (free training courses, webinars, demos) so that engineers with little experience can fully exploit the features that are offered or managed within the license that was acquired, and thus have better quality and completely satisfactory experience."
"The interface could be improved because it has two different consoles."
"We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines."
"It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be."
"They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release."

"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"When using Veeam Backup for Office 365 when there is a server that's running, I have to have a hard drive installed on it. For example, if I want to use another storage solution, I can't incorporate it very well. If I want to use SMB or other protocols I cannot use them with the Veeam Backup for Office 365. They have the support in the other Veeam Backup and Restore solutions, but it doesn't support it in this solution. Hopefully, in the future, they figured it out."
"Pricing is an area for improvement, and I would rate it at five out of ten."
"They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance."
"They don't have native integration with deduplication of storage."
