Find out in this report how the two File Archiving solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The return points are very valuable."
"Commvault has a unique administration platform with more features than its competitors."
"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."
"The solution’s user interface for managing the on-prem environment is good."
"Complete Data Protection is convenient because you can manage various types of databases, and it's pretty easy to set it up."
"The data is well-protected. It doesn't age off until it's copied. That's a big feature right there. When you reach the end of your retention, it does not expire until the secondary copy is completed. That allows you to hold onto data that otherwise would have aged off by retention. I like that feature. It's hard to just delete or lose data using the Commvault platform."
"Commvault is both very stable and scalable."
"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."
"Now, we manage to serve almost 99% of the information."
"I find the Outlook client very valuable. It allows me to connect to the Exchange Server and send and receive emails easily. The graphical interface is user-friendly and has a good look and feel."
"Microsoft Exchange has good performance and is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange are its ease of use, and simplicity of communication, and we can track communications between teams."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange is the email storage is on the cloud. We don't have to delete emails often."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange is its security."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"All of Exchange's features are valuable. For example, we can configure the MAPI profile, IM profile, or mobile profile."
"The tool should revise its licensing."
"We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines."
"The only problem is that some of what we snap most of is the VMs. We found about 10% of the VMs that we can't snap because they're too interactive. It actually causes the application to crash."
"Setup is complex."
"The product is expensive."
"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."
"Data center backup must be improved."
"The solution's breadth and depth of cloud support are good, but could be better. Some cloud features that are common-sense, especially on AWS, are not completely integrated yet in the product. They are a work-in-progress."
"I'd like the archiving process to be faster."
"Microsoft Exchange could improve by being more secure. We are always looking to have more security."
"There can be occasional challenges during the product's implementation phase, making it an area where improvements are needed."
"There is a lot of spam email that comes in, so they should add functionality to help fix this problem."
"An improvement would be to combine Exchange and Teams so that emails, calls, and chats can be integrated into one window."
"Microsoft could make it easier to combine comments in the GUI. It isn't easy to do certain things in Exchange, primarily if the administrator isn't used to the command line, so I think the customer interface could be improved."
"The product or service could be improved in terms of Microsoft Outlook client compatibility."
"The licensing model could be improved."
