Find out what your peers are saying about Commvault, Veeam Software, AvePoint and others in SaaS Backup."IntelliSnap for snapshot collection is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to back up large amounts of data."
"Commvault helps to ensure broad coverage with the discovery of unprotected workloads. This is important. From the moment that we set it up, we mostly have customers telling us what they need to back up. Then, you can list the machines that are not yet protected. Sometimes, we can see that they are unaware of this, and say, "We didn't know that those servers were not protected yet," or "We did not back them up yet.""
"The backup and restore capabilities are key. The most useful things to us about Commvault, in general, is the breadth of the applications that it can protect as well as the features inside of it, like deduplication and encryption. When people get their data encrypted, Commvault has a way to tell if somebody is being attacked through a cybersecurity threat because their data changes. So, Commvault has what they call honeypot files out there to look to see if anybody is changing these files. Only Commvault knows which files those are, so nobody should be messing with those files. If it changes, then it will alert you to say, "Oh, I potentially have somebody messing with my files." It will alert you to something going on in your environment that probably shouldn't be happening. We deploy that with all our customers so they have this capability as well."
"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"They have a strong development team and are market leaders in the space."
"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."
"It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it."
"It's a complete software that can protect all the main applications. Perhaps that's the feature I like most. The integration with the NetApp and other apps is also very nice."
"It's a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable features are the support for both NAS and NFS."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity in configuration and use."
"It gives you an option to back up to the cloud or back up to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage."
"The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release."
"Commvault HyperScale X could improve by allowing backups of the storage area network (SAN)."
"The reporting could be improved because the reports we get from our partner aren't sufficient. It isn't very detailed. I'm not sure if it's an issue with our partner or Metallic. They do a full backup on Monday and incremental backups throughout the week. However, we don't get detailed reports about the size of the incremental backups. The report just tells us whether a backup was successful."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"Data center backup must be improved."
"The retention log feature could be an issue for us and can be improved. The backup schedule can also be better in terms of how you set it up."
"I would assess the Command Center as a very useful but sometimes difficult tool. It is multipurpose. It has all the features of logging and monitoring, especially for the actual setup. For us, it is easy because we work daily with it, but for customers who only use it once a week, they sometimes have some difficulties. Command Center is not user-friendly for beginners."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"For newcomers or people who have less experience, it's a complex solution that could be simplified somewhat."
"The features need to be updated to support the latest hardware, as it changes every year."
"Better integration with third-party databases and applications is needed."
"I would like to see the graphical user interface improved to include all of the functionality because there are some things that you need to use the command-line interface for."
"There are still a few things on SharePoint that they need to correct in terms of how they backup and restore."
