"Commvault HyperScale X is also a good choice for regulations that require the backup system to be isolated from the rest of the infrastructure."
"The solution's interface is easy to use. For manageability, it doesn't matter where the resource is coming from or going to. That's the great power of the Control Panel: It's easy to use and does not matter if you manage on-prem or cloud resources."
"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."
"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."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"The embedded deduplication engine is really good because we use a Near Line SAS disk as a repository for our backups, and we don't need to pay for another appliance such as a Data Domain or Quantum so that we can have hardware-based deduplication."
"Commvault's many features can be explored to get more value from more solutions."
"The product is good in a small environment when looking to a backup on a tape."

"It is a simple and flexible solution to work with."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the product."

"The most valuable features of Veritas Backup Exec are the graphical interface, ease of management, and overall ease of use."
"The product provides automated and faster data backup and recovery compared to other vendors."
"We had some small issues with the reporting, but that was just a matter of fine-tuning the kinds of messages we receive by email. It was a little overwhelming in the initial configuration. So we reviewed our configuration with our partner and customized the reports so that we only get the important reports. I haven't seen any big issues or things that the solution is missing."
"Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"Endpoint backup."
"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."
"There is room for improvement in terms of data security."
"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."
"I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly."
"Veritas Backup Exec should be more user-friendly. The costs should also be much lower and it should be easier to go through the disaster recovery process."
"The initial installation needs some effort."
"The price of this solution is very high."
"They can work on the issue of the job timing out when it is unable to reach a selection item. It sometimes hangs up on the selection item, thus preventing the job from continuing."

"Initial setup is a bit complex and needs some expertise for troubleshooting when something goes wrong."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
"It could provide better ease of management than one of its competitors."
