"One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore."
"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"It never fails. Sometimes we miss a backup, but there's always a reason for it, and it's not the fault of Commvault. In the last three years, we've never had to open a ticket with Commvault."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"The return points are very valuable."
"What is most valuable to me are the search features, where you can search through large backup data sets and find what you're looking for. Our data sets are so big that we're over the petabyte mark. To find a specific file for a specific user out of 10,000 users is a challenge... If we can glean from them a general description of where it might be, the search feature comes in very handy to actually locate it and restore it for them."
"Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."
"Technical support is very proactive and helpful."
"The initial setup is easy depending on the environment you are working with."
"We feel the ability to move virtual machines while they are still running to be the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the backup and disaster recovery services."

"We get an alarm if a lot of files are deleted, for example. That could look like ransomware, even if it is not."

"Commvault Complete Data Protection meets market standards, but an area for improvement is its licensing model. It would be good if it could use the subscription-based model rather than the traditional licensing model."
"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."
"The setup is not that straightforward or easy. Even the documentation is not generic or public like other products. You have to be a partner or you have to have a specific account and download it from the vendor themselves."
"Commvault could benefit from increased automation to streamline processes and enhance predictability."
"Training."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"The improvements should be as per customer requirements."
"When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient."
"The automation should be simplified or improved."
