Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Scalability, as well as stability, are a couple of important parts of this solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive."
"Commvault gives us a single platform to manage and recover our data. Since we are a research organization, backup is one of the most critical parts of our IT operations and services. Internally, we run it as a managed service, and there is a single console that makes it easy for management to see the performance."
"The compression and deduplication are great for optimizing bandwidth and speed. I don't have to worry about it or think about it, and, because it's a SaaS solution, I don't have to worry about the storage size."
"The one thing for the last 12 months which has been very good for Veritas was the instance-based license. This means that you're able to license per instance, not only per physical server."
"The usability and interface of the solution are good."
"The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect."
"Setting up Backup Exec is straightforward. It took less than two weeks to get it up and running. You need maybe two people at most if you have a Veritas-certified engineer."
"It is responding very well, and its performance is good. It has a lot of options. For backup, you can connect it to a cloud or a physical hard drive. They also provide an API for integration with different platforms and products. However, we have not integrated it with another product."
"Veritas is simple and easy to deploy. In terms of the presentation and UI, they do their job well."
"The solution is good for small and medium-sized businesses."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement. Commvault could increase the training it provides to customers and partners."
"The solution needs better Office 365 data backup management."
"The price of Commvault HyperScale X could improve."
"I just wanted to compare the features, which are there in EMC NetWorker, which are not available in Commvault. We have things using Networker."
"For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments."
"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."
"We had some small issues with the reporting, but that was just a matter of fine-tuning the kinds of messages we receive by email. It was a little overwhelming in the initial configuration. So we reviewed our configuration with our partner and customized the reports so that we only get the important reports. I haven't seen any big issues or things that the solution is missing."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."
"Firstly, the GUI for 2014 is mostly confusing, i.e., if you need to add any additional technical features, then it doesn't require a change to the GUI."
"It could be improved in the area of reporting and ease-of-use."
"It doesn't support the AIX platform."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
"Compared to other vendors, there are features that you will find not included in Veritas."
"Something within the software itself isn't quite right. There may be a bug or glitch. It will work fine for weeks and then all of a sudden it just tanks."
"The pricing is an area of improvement and the mode of marketing it."
