"The most valuable feature of Commvault HyperScale X is the automatic nature of its operation. We don't need to worry about sets of documents. It worked automatically, we don't need to think about it. When you set the solution up in a good way, you don't need to worry."
"The embedded deduplication engine is really good because we use a Near Line SAS disk as a repository for our backups, and we don't need to pay for another appliance such as a Data Domain or Quantum so that we can have hardware-based deduplication."
"The solution’s user interface for managing the on-prem environment is good."
"It's very stable."
"The solution is scalable."
"Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."
"The use of hyperscale storage hardware and Commvault software has allowed us to create a large storage pool and achieve significant savings in our back-end storage costs."
"Quick backups and restores of data are the most valuable features. It is important that it is an easy solution to integrate with the SAML authentication of our tenant, so we can have our users log into the systems and do their own restores, if needed."
"The solution is stable."
"The installation process is very easy."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the WAN accelerator. This feature allows for large amounts of data from one location to another. If the bandwidth in the environment is slow it makes the transfer slow but the WAN accelerator feature helps speed the transfer."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"Once you set it up, it works very well. You do not have to go back to reconfigure it– it is very easy to use"
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"The solution is also easy to manage and work with."
"The integration of Metallic could improve. It would be a benefit if Metallic could integrate with multiple applications or platforms."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"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."
"It would be nice to have just one email report come in, then we can filter out failures. If everything is backed up, we really don't need to see the report. If it is in a single report. A simpler customised report would be good."
"There are two ways to use it and I prefer the web-based one over the app. I wish they were a little bit more matched in what they offer because the features aren't as available in the web-based interface as they are in the app."
"They should move the CommServe outside of Windows machines and the database should be distributed among servers. It's still a single point of failure."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console."
"It requires quite an amount of infrastructure. You have to set up the instance, and you need to know quite a bit about Microsoft 365 authentication. For some customers, it is a challenge."
"We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system."
"Veaam Backup can be confusing for customers when they start trying to understand how to use the product in multiple environments."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
