Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"All the management is centralized from that CommServe server. You can manage all the clients and all the infrastructure using one interface and one server... Using the Commvault interface, you can customize and generate multiple reports to easily see what is protected and what is not protected in the environment."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"We have multiple workloads, including SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, especially Sybase, as well as file systems, VMs, and Exchange mailboxes. Commvault provides very good support for them."
"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive."
"Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful."
"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."
"The product's migration process and stability need improvement."
"The local support could be improved."
"We get an alarm if a lot of files are deleted, for example. That could look like ransomware, even if it is not."
"We are using a production environment with customer-sensitive data on it. As per our central bank rules and regulations, we can't keep our customer's sensitive data in the cloud."
"The integration of Metallic could improve. It would be a benefit if Metallic could integrate with multiple applications or platforms."
"The deployment process should be simplified because it is not something that just anybody can do."
"One issue we face is the complexity of the console. That could be improved on. It takes users time to get familiar with Commvault. On average, it takes our customers between one and three months to learn it. The console and the way you configure Commvault have very advanced settings. It takes time to understand how it works."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."
"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."
