Find out what your peers are saying about Commvault, Veeam Software, N-able and others in SaaS Backup."It's a very straightforward product that is well integrated with everything."
"The product alerts the security team about threats."
"One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"It is just about as flexible as you can get; simple. You can put it anywhere you want. You can put it on-prem or in your cloud. I could see where a team that's looking for more of a follow the bouncy ball type of solution might get a little confused. "Oh, no. What do you mean I might have to do it this way or I can't do it that way?" Sometimes, people just want to be told what to do. For an enterprise environment, like we are at NDOT, everything we do is not standard. It is not industry standard; it is not normal. We have all kinds of one-offs. We do need flexibility in the solutions that we get. I will say that Metallic has been extremely flexible in that sense, where we are able to follow the bouncy ball if we wanted to. Obviously, we didn't. We did it our way and Metallic, as a whole solution, provided that to us with no issues."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication ratio. It saves most of our space and reduces the network traffic."
"The product is a reliable solution."
"The most valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X are all the general functions and the performance."
"In the next release, I would like to see better prices for the licenses."
"Commvault's price is quite high."
"Commvault Complete Data Protection would benefit from improving their training resources."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"It takes a lot of steps to implement backups. We have to do a lot of planning to make the solution work properly. It takes some time to create every policy. It's an easy task, but there are many steps. It's not as easy as using Veeam."
"They need to integrate configuration screens or videos (free training courses, webinars, demos) so that engineers with little experience can fully exploit the features that are offered or managed within the license that was acquired, and thus have better quality and completely satisfactory experience."
"Commvault should keep and continue to develop the Java GUI."
"Sometimes the web page doesn't work. I don't know if it's an outage or if there is maintenance going on in the background. From time to time, Commvault will suddenly stop taking backups for some intervals."
"Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage."
