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 solution is very stable and offers a good level of performance."
"The expanse of the decoys that they have is valuable. They cover everything on the corporate side that you would think of, such as Windows, Linux, and even applications like SAP. They also go into the OT environment and emulate OT devices as well."
"In terms of the speed of backup, it operates seamlessly, so I'd rate it as excellent... with my daily use and workload, quite honestly I don't even notice when it backs up."
"The most valuable feature is sharing data sets like they're in a private cloud. We call it our "private cloud" because we can share anything that is inside our backup set with our colleagues or with other people, and yet, everything is still in Belgrade, in Serbia. It's not somewhere else on cloud servers. Everything is in our environment."
"Commvault provides data protection. Their engine is ransomware-agnostic so ransomware doesn't compromise our backup data. Therefore, we can rely on their data protection to recover and back up our production system."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Complete Data Protection are the complete feature sets it provides in one platform. You are able to backup many different types of data, such as virtual machines, servers, cloud, endpoints, Microsoft Office365, and Gmail. The usage of the solution is flexible."
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange is the email storage is on the cloud. We don't have to delete emails often."
"The exchange functionalities are good."
"Exchange's interface is good. All of our engineers like it and are accustomed to using it."
"The deployment is a plug-and-play process."
"Microsoft Exchange has good performance and is user-friendly."
"It is user friendly."
"The product can scale."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"The interface could be improved because it has two different consoles."
"Just to keep it running is time-consuming. There are five people on my team. Commvault was supposed to be one of the less time-consuming solutions, but in reality it takes 60 percent of our time just to keep it running, and that's not even fine-tuning it; that's just to keep it running."
"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."
"They can improve the security level for Windows. When mapping to the Windows, Commvault can take full control over data volumes so that the attacker can't delete the volume data, but the Windows admin can access the volumes. It would be great to block access at that level."
"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"The speed of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is adequate. Microsoft controls the amount of bandwidth that people have when they're using Azure and the O365 environment... If they could work out something with Microsoft to improve the speed, that would help."
"I just wanted to compare the features, which are there in EMC NetWorker, which are not available in Commvault. We have things using Networker."
"An area for improvement would be the convenience of working with Azure services from Exchange on-premise installations."
"An improvement would be to combine Exchange and Teams so that emails, calls, and chats can be integrated into one window."
"The solution should be easier to deploy."
"From a reliability perspective, they need to improve the search engine, it is not very powerful."
"Microsoft Exchange could improve security. They can elevate a lot of security features."
"Microsoft Exchange is highly stable. However, after receiving some updates it can be unstable."
"The platform could be more user-friendly."
"The support needs to be more knowledgeable."
