Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The email archiving feature is very smooth and better than others.""The most valuable feature is Commvault's coverage. It has wide coverage to back up every data center environment. The product can back up OpenStack, OpenShift, and competitive solutions don't have this feature. Commvault can handle backing up any virtual workload or enterprise application.""Technical support is great.""In terms of the speed of backup, it operates seamlessly, so I'd rate it as excellent... with my daily use and workload, quite honestly I don't even notice when it backs up.""One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore.""The data protection itself is very good compared to other products.""The solution is scalable.""All the management is centralized from that CommServe server. You can manage all the clients and all the infrastructure using one interface and one server... Using the Commvault interface, you can customize and generate multiple reports to easily see what is protected and what is not protected in the environment."

"We like how the solution allows us to have retention of records and workflows, as well as its fire plan.""The product can be integrated with different solutions.""It has a robust search but has often been difficult for people to learn.""The tool's implementation has made life easier for customers. It is sold by SAP. The integration between SAP and the solution is good, making it easy to access the documents. It is widely recognized as a market leader in enterprise document management.""An advantage is integration with your IP directory.""I did not face issues with the product's scalability...The solution's technical support is good."

More OpenText Content Manager Pros →

"Veritas Enterprise Vault is an archive solution for email and files.""The indexing and searching features are the most valuable features of Veritas Enterprise Vault.""The archive allows the customers to search any items as far back as five or ten years ago.""The integration capabilities are second to none.""The stability is excellent.""I use the solution to find data loss and restore the data.""The most valuable feature of Veritas Enterprise Vault is the on-premise recall from your email into Outlook.""The most valuable features are ease of use and performance. However, the performance can depend on the workload being used."

Cons
"The product does not provide an option to save a copy of data on-premises.""My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic.""Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage.""It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy.""The initial setup was complicated.""You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team.""The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me. My OneDrive is protected by multifactor authentication, and to get the backup to begin behind that multifactor authentication took a little bit of almost customized support, even though I was following the instructions and the videos. That process could have been easier.""They can improve the security level for Windows. When mapping to the Windows, Commvault can take full control over data volumes so that the attacker can't delete the volume data, but the Windows admin can access the volumes. It would be great to block access at that level."

More Commvault Cloud Cons →

"OpenText Content Manager needs to improve its user interface. Its installation process is difficult and can be made easier.""The ease of use should be addressed.""Support could be enhanced. The first line of support consists of individuals who lack experience with some key aspects. When you create a support ticket, the time to resolve the issue may be prolonged because the first person may not understand the system or the solution.""The stability of the solution is an area of concern where improvements can be made.""Due to very limited use in the industry, vendor and contract support are hard to find.""The product could improve its scalability."

More OpenText Content Manager Cons →

"The quality of support by Veritas has declined in the last year.""The product is a very complicated solution. It is not easy to upgrade and get alerts of issues. You have to check it all the time to see if there is an internal error.""The stability could be improved.""The integration needs to improve.""The file-level archiving is very important in Enterprise Vault 12 and this doesn't really exist in early versions.""Veritas Enterprise Vault's cloud backup solution should include the journal archiving feature along with the standard licensing package.""The solution is not user-friendly and the restoration is not fast. It's also tricky to get information from it.""The platform's price could be affordable for small businesses."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
