"Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"The solution is very stable and offers a good level of performance."
"What I found most valuable in Commvault Complete Data Protection is its deduplication technique, mainly because the solution has the highest deduplication ratio, giving you higher storage capacity."
"IntelliSnap for snapshot collection is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to back up large amounts of data."
"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"
"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"Exchange is very scalable, it's one of the most important things about this software."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The latest versions have gotten much better about balancing the load on the backend."
"Microsoft Exchange has good performance and is user-friendly."
"Microsoft Exchange is highly stable for the end-user systems. When we move to Office 365, it will be even more stable even. There's less administration required and it's very robust. We are really quite happy in using that."
"It is very well integrated with other Microsoft programs, teams, and so on. They work well together."
"Microsoft Exchange is a powerful solution. It can easily integrate with Active Directory and other business applications. It does not require any training, it is flexible and simple to use. When comparing Microsoft Exchange to other solutions, such as Lotus Note, it is more straightforward for business."
"The availability group settings are better, so it has inherent scalability. In 2010, they added several sensible rules."
"Setup is complex."
"Command Center definitely gives us a complete view of our data. But finding some of the granular, very small items that we sometimes have to find, such as auxiliary copies for tapes, I still find that it's easier to navigate and, sometimes, only possible to find them using the CommCell tool."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"The navigation of it needs improvement in terms of the UX. The product itself, it works as expected. It's all user experience and user interface improvements that could be made and it could be made a little more consumer-friendly."
"I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly."
"The local support could be improved."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"I would like to see some of the code execute a little bit better when I add new licenses and assign licenses to users. I'd like to see that information update a little quicker."
"It's not always the finest solution in terms of integration with products that are not from Microsoft. It integrates very well with Microsoft products but not with third-party products."
"We would prefer to be able to manage the solution on the cloud."
"In our current situation, the disappearance of sanctions would be a tangible improvement. We are basically cut off from technical support and it's very difficult to obtain any updates."
"The calendar integration in Exchange is not that great. The email features are okay, but it doesn't integrate well with the calendar and appointments, especially Zoom appointments. It integrates fine with Microsoft Teams, but Zoom is a challenge."
"It doesn't work very well on a virtual machine. We had to move it around. There are also issues when you try to move it between computers."
"Some users encounter stability issues. I connect with the support team through my local partner, which takes time."
"From a security perspective, Microsft Exchange can be improved. All that needs to be added is security, but that's an internal hierarchical problem from the product itself and not the end-users."
"The management of .pst files and archiving need improvement."
