We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"All of the features are most valuable because we're able to recover hard disks."

More AccessData FTK [EOL] Pros →

"The expanse of the decoys that they have is valuable. They cover everything on the corporate side that you would think of, such as Windows, Linux, and even applications like SAP. They also go into the OT environment and emulate OT devices as well.""We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager.""One valuable feature is unlimited backup. You can back up existing users and folders.""It's great for getting data back.""The return points are very valuable.""It's a complete software that can protect all the main applications. Perhaps that's the feature I like most. The integration with the NetApp and other apps is also very nice.""Commvault has support for backing up operating systems and servers.""Technical support is great."

Cons
"I think processing could be better. It really takes a lot of space, and it's very expensive to deploy."

More AccessData FTK [EOL] Cons →

"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.""There is room for improvement in the data center application running on the cloud for the platform.""Could be easier to implement.""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.""They need to improve when it comes to large, video file archiving. They're good, but they have not met my expectations as a customer in this area.""The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client.""Commvault is complex even if the product has comprehensive solutions and covers pretty much every technology out there. There's no unified way to manage all of the products on one single console.""Getting my guys the right access has a learning curve. Sometimes, it is, "Oh, okay. I think I got it for you." Then, they say, "Oh, nope. I logged in but I can't see this." Then, it is, "Okay, hold on. Give me a second. Let me change that. Okay, it's this one." That learning curve has probably taken a little bit longer than some simpler things. So, Metallic has some granularity, and as a systems administrator, I appreciate that. At the same time, I also realize that I have to learn it."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "AccessData FTK is too expensive compared to EnCase."
  • More AccessData FTK [EOL] 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."
