Find out what your peers are saying about Commvault, Veeam Software, N-able and others in SaaS Backup."It's a very straightforward product that is well integrated with everything."
"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."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"Integration with Active Directory and the Azure platform make it a complete solution."
"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."
"They have a strong development team and are market leaders in the space."
"Backup and archive with a single window, with a single backup job. You only need to type "c"."
"Commvault software is a single platform where you can enable whatever you want to use, like endpoint protection. You can enable those licenses on a single platform screen. This is where I see the value ad. This is a single management tool."
"Restoring is very fast. In testing, I did a restore for a single item from a mailbox. Within a minute, I had the message back in my mailbox. So, it didn't take hours or days. Obviously, there will be a limit. If we suddenly go into DR and have to restore five terabytes of emails for people, then it will take a couple of days, which would be acceptable. For general usage, where we have to do the odd restore, we have never had issues. It happens within minutes."
"In the next release, I would like to see better prices for the licenses."
"The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory."
"This solution can be complex and difficult to administer because it supports all of the many platforms, so it would help if they could simplify it."
"When we started using Commvault, we felt that there were some technical issues with managing it, but we are comfortable enough with managing it now. There were many issues, like index corrupting, when we first started, but all those issues were resolved by the Commvault tech team."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
"Could be easier to implement."
"Reduce the complexity for better understanding of the reports. There are a lot of variables in which you can get confused while elaborating on reports."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"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."
