"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"I can collect the target data, then we connect it to Commvault. There is not another system that can connect to our target database or target storage.

"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"The solution also provides me with a complete view of our data. I write scripts to report information from the Command Center daily. I report it in HTML and have the status of the last day for the whole environment."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The way it backs up personal files is great."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."

"It takes a lot of steps to implement backups. We have to do a lot of planning to make the solution work properly. It takes some time to create every policy. It's an easy task, but there are many steps. It's not as easy as using Veeam."
"Its dashboard could be improved to provide a summarized version of all the jobs instead of having to go through each one of them. We should easily be able to glance at all issues. If I had not gone with the on-premise version, I would have had regular reports with the cloud version. It would be an advantage if they increase the compression rate of the backup. I am keeping it on-prem, so I'll need more disks depending on the policies that I have in the retention period. Its price could also be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage."
