Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"It never fails. Sometimes we miss a backup, but there's always a reason for it, and it's not the fault of Commvault. In the last three years, we've never had to open a ticket with Commvault."
"In terms of the speed of backup, it operates seamlessly, so I'd rate it as excellent... with my daily use and workload, quite honestly I don't even notice when it backs up."
"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"Commvault has support for backing up operating systems and servers."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."
"The compression, because it drastically reduces the disk space."
"I just wanted to compare the features, which are there in EMC NetWorker, which are not available in Commvault. We have things using Networker."
"Could be easier to implement."
"They can always improve the interface design to make it easier. Sometimes, you need to click two or three times to do something. They should look at what tabs are used most and make them more accessible, to cut the time it takes to get to that information."
"The integration of Metallic could improve. It would be a benefit if Metallic could integrate with multiple applications or platforms."
"Additional SaaS application support would be good... we have SaaS applications that may not be big enough for Commvault to support yet. Box.com is one we've asked about for years, and it's just not on the radar, as far as I know."
"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."
"Endpoint backup."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
