"This is a very stable product."
"Commvault is both very stable and scalable."
"This product has allowed us to recover data when we've had issues."
"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"They have a strong development team and are market leaders in the space."
"The user interface is very easy to navigate."
"Commvault provides data protection. Their engine is ransomware-agnostic so ransomware doesn't compromise our backup data. Therefore, we can rely on their data protection to recover and back up our production system."
"Customers can benefit from this new pricing model because it's expensive and now with the subscription they can budget for this."
"It's a very user-friendly application. The mail server is also valuable when compared to other services like SquirrelMail."
"The exchange functionalities are good."
"Exchange's best feature is single sign-on access using the Microsoft Identity framework."
"The technical support is fine."
"It is easy to set up."
"I find the desktop version of Microsoft Exchange looks better than the online version. You can make it a white background. You might be able to make the online background white, but I have no idea how to do that. I know how to do it only on the desktop version"
"The backup and archiving features are valuable, it is user friendly too."
"The back of virtual machines needs improvement. I know they're working on it. They're always doing new things but I think they still have a little bit more to do."
"Data center backup must be improved."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."
"This product is overly complex to operate and run."
"There is room for improvement in the Knowledge Base and error reporting. I would like to see best practices in the Knowledge Base, and have the ability to diagnose errors without contacting support."
"When you deploy Complete Data Protection for past services, it's more complicated because you cannot directly back up from the previous service host. We have to build a proxy server, like a middleware, to directly access the past database server. It's complex and hard for beginners to figure out."
"Microsoft Exchange could improve by being more secure. We are always looking to have more security."
"The default storage capacity is too small."
"In terms of Microsoft Exchange, I think maybe what can be done is to make it more user-friendly."
"Exchange can be a little finicky, sometimes, or flakey. Last week, for example, I had gone into my calendar to check on some briefings that I had established, and then went back into my inbox, and suddenly the view had changed. I had no idea what it was that I had done, and I couldn't figure out how to get that view back. I took a productivity hit as a result of that, trying to fix it, due to the fact that it just wasn't what I wanted. It wasn't what I was used to working with. Two different tech support people had to work with me in order to get the view back to what I wanted just so I could be productive."
"The main problem with Microsoft products is that we're constantly required to install patches and fixes."
"Microsoft could improve on Exchange's hybrid deployment or HCW. They need to improve on that because I was having many issues with HCW in our environment at times."
"Microsoft needs to make some modifications to meet the current needs of the environment. For example, they need to add more cell service features because people work from home during the pandemic, and certain elements should be available as a mobile service."
"The licensing model could be improved."
