Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"Commvault helps to ensure broad coverage with the discovery of unprotected workloads. This is important. From the moment that we set it up, we mostly have customers telling us what they need to back up. Then, you can list the machines that are not yet protected. Sometimes, we can see that they are unaware of this, and say, "We didn't know that those servers were not protected yet," or "We did not back them up yet.""
"It's an enterprise product. It's a stable product. We have good support. Almost all databases are in the scope."
"The convenience of backing up and restoring simultaneously is very valuable."
"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"Its compression and deduplication allow us to store more backups and save storage space. The reporting is great; we are able to obtain critical business reports and infrastructure/usage information very easily."
"With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn."
"The most valuable feature is the backups."
"I like that they have some new devices that are simpler to use because they kind of tie right into the cloud."
"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."
"I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly."
"I would assess the Command Center as a very useful but sometimes difficult tool. It is multipurpose. It has all the features of logging and monitoring, especially for the actual setup. For us, it is easy because we work daily with it, but for customers who only use it once a week, they sometimes have some difficulties. Command Center is not user-friendly for beginners."
"We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign."
"They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays."
"Support for this product needs to be improved because I have seen a couple of cases where it is taking more than the required time to solve issues."
"Mostly controls, visibility, cost allocation."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."
