"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."

"The product is expensive."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
