"The product is a reliable solution."
"Commvault provides data protection. Their engine is ransomware-agnostic so ransomware doesn't compromise our backup data. Therefore, we can rely on their data protection to recover and back up our production system."
"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"Commvault can perform a backup no matter where you are, and it takes a backup every four hours. No matter when you come to the office, it'll take a backup if you're connected to the internet and check the system for online availability."
"This product has allowed us to recover data when we've had issues."
"Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"The disk-to-disk paid backup feature is quite good, and file locking is a very important feature."
"The initial setup is easy."
"This solution has a very good technical support department that is very responsive."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Backup Exec are the easy-to-use intuitive GUI. It is very easy to understand. I have never lost data and I have been able to recover all the data I need."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."
"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."
"It would be a bit unfair to say that it's complex, due to the fact that it supports so many different workloads, however, if there's anything that is a bit of a shortcoming, then it's the fact that there's a bit of complexity involved when dealing with the product."
"What I need is deeper CLI documentation for both QCommand and SQL queries."
"I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly."
"The tool should revise its licensing."
"The price of Commvault HyperScale X could improve."
"We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue."
"If you keep it for too long and the catalog gets really big, the application tends to move slowly."
"It could provide better ease of management than one of its competitors."
"It doesn't support the AIX platform."
"The scalability could be improved even though the solution is targeted to small customers."
"In the future, their console should not be complicated."
"The cost is quite high. Along with the general costs, the supposed agents that you have to buy for the various options that you want to use ends up driving the costs higher as well."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
"Compared to other vendors, there are features that you will find not included in Veritas."
