"The multi-tenancy is the most valuable feature for us because it's the only software that is fully multi-tenant and that has all the features we need to provide to all our tenants. It provides us with advanced features for MySQL and Oracle, among other platforms"
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"Its compression and deduplication allow us to store more backups and save storage space. The reporting is great; we are able to obtain critical business reports and infrastructure/usage information very easily."
"There's no impact on the endpoint. It runs in the background and it's something that you install and then forget about."
"Commvault is a very stable product."
"It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it."
"The most valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X are all the general functions and the performance."
"Commvault helps to ensure broad coverage with the discovery of unprotected workloads. This is important. From the moment that we set it up, we mostly have customers telling us what they need to back up. Then, you can list the machines that are not yet protected. Sometimes, we can see that they are unaware of this, and say, "We didn't know that those servers were not protected yet," or "We did not back them up yet.""
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is reliable and easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use. It's very simple and clients find it very easy to find all objects and things they need with the Veeam Explorer."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"Veeam is affordable and end-to-end configuration is straightforward, whether you're going from source to destination or vice versa. Retrieval is also easy."
"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."
"The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent."
"I would like more communication informing us on what Commvault is doing in the background."
"There is room for improvement in terms of data security."
"We do not use Command Center, but we are using CommCell Console. We're navigating and manipulating the entire environment by using CommCell Console, and we are comfortable with it. We didn't find Command Center user-friendly. We found it a bit difficult to use. It decreases the efficiency of the tasks to be performed. It was probably implemented as a centralized application to manage all environments, but it was probably not a good idea. I and my colleagues across the globe are comfortable with using CommCell Console rather than Command Center."
"For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments."
"When we send a query to Commvault, they take a long time to answer our questions."
"Training."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Commvault has two management dashboards. The first is the CommCell Console, which is Java-based, and the second is Command Center. We don't always find all the features we need in the Command Center and we need to go through the Java console, and sometimes features are only on the Java console."
"Currently, I'm working for Huawei and they dropped the support for Huawei, so that's an issue for us."
"It's a new product. It's not mature."
"It requires quite an amount of infrastructure. You have to set up the instance, and you need to know quite a bit about Microsoft 365 authentication. For some customers, it is a challenge."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"The license pricing can be reduced."
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release."
