Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is easy to use and stable. It delivers what has been promised. When it says it can do something, it can actually do it, as opposed to some of its competitors.""The most valuable feature of Metallic is its flexibility and user-friendly.""The Commvault Complete Data Protection interface is straightforward to use.""The initial setup is straightforward.""We have multiple workloads, including SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, especially Sybase, as well as file systems, VMs, and Exchange mailboxes. Commvault provides very good support for them.""The product alerts the security team about threats.""The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed.""Cloud integration."

More IBM StoredIQ Pros →

"Caplets are a very good technical feature.""I like Relativity's blackout feature, as well as the Case Dynamics function.""The ease of navigation from dock to dock, and that kind of usability, is quite helpful.""kCura Relativity is easy to use, and it is reliable.""There are a lot of ways to QC your work and save your searches, and we had really good case support from the Relativity team."

Cons
"The initial setup was complex.""We get an alarm if a lot of files are deleted, for example. That could look like ransomware, even if it is not.""Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions.""It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy.""Commvault has two management dashboards. The first is the CommCell Console, which is Java-based, and the second is Command Center. We don't always find all the features we need in the Command Center and we need to go through the Java console, and sometimes features are only on the Java console.""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.""The solution must provide deception files across the network.""I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."

More Commvault Cloud Cons →

"The product was born and designed to be used inside the IT department, but it would be improved by allowing end-users to search for info related to specific needs."

More IBM StoredIQ Cons →

"The price per user could be improved. We'd like for it to be more affordable.""There are a lot of bugs on the development side.""I would definitely not recommended it unless you have someone who has had experience with it and knows how to work the program.""They require more built-in support for some third-party applications.""What I dislike about Relativity is that we have to go through the host in order to do productions and loads. It is not a do-it-yourself tool."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
  • "There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
  • "New licensing is easy and affordable."
  • "Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
  • "Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
  • "In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually."
  • "The price could perhaps be lower as well."
  • "Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers."

    Information Not Available
  • "The pricing is extremely complicated."
  • "They are maintaining the per gigabyte pricing, and it's based on tiers of how much data you host with them."
