"The product is easy-to-use."
"Technical support in Veeam is good."
"Mostly controls, visibility, cost allocation."
"I need documentation for Azure backups. One expectation that I have is regarding PDF documentation. When I was trying to browse the documentation, I could not locate that."
"Commvault likes to be ahead of the game when it comes to merging with other platforms, but sometimes it's before they have the solution truly baked in. Office 365 is an example. I feel that my company might be a litmus test for their solution, because we have such a large environment. Some of the promised solutions that we received from Commvault were more like testing solutions. They weren't really validated, meaning they were possibilities. There have been a lot of hot fixes for the solution that we're using right now, more than we expected."
"The product is a bit complex."
"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."
"I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly."
"It would be nice to have just one email report come in, then we can filter out failures. If everything is backed up, we really don't need to see the report. If it is in a single report. A simpler customised report would be good."
"The pricing could be more flexible in terms of licensing."
"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."
"They should include some more options to send alerts in existing monitoring software."
"We have found that there is a limitation in this solution where it only takes the backup of users who are using Office 365 Enterprise email IDs. We have many users in management and approximately 50 other users who are using Office 365 of which Veeam is able to capture the backup. However, for the other users who are on the local email server at that time, the solution is not able to capture the backup."
"If clients are backing up onto tape, Veeam's newest versions don't really deal with that."
"Veeam's performance is inconsistent."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
