We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and OpenText EnCase eDiscovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two eDiscovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the ability it gives me to automate backups well and consistently, and to follow up on them as well. It also provides consistent recovery processes. Whenever we have needed to do a restore, it has worked quickly and efficiently."
"The Command Center is provided from the web interface. You can back up the data for everybody, but also you can give everybody the ability to view and restore their data. For example, if a laptop, machine, or environment is owned by X, then X can look in and see the environment and data that he has backed up. He can see everything that he owns and can manage the environment as he wishes. It gives him an excellent view of his environment and infrastructure. Also, if you are a service provider, you can back up data for multiple companies and give everyone an interface for their environment to manage, backup, and restore data. Commvault has done excellent work in this area."
"Great archive feature, OnePass, for the file system and Exchange servers."
"Well documented SQL views and customizable reports, together with scripts and workflows provides ability to automate processes and ensure proper controls are in place."
"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 is just about as flexible as you can get; simple. You can put it anywhere you want. You can put it on-prem or in your cloud. I could see where a team that's looking for more of a follow the bouncy ball type of solution might get a little confused. "Oh, no. What do you mean I might have to do it this way or I can't do it that way?" Sometimes, people just want to be told what to do. For an enterprise environment, like we are at NDOT, everything we do is not standard. It is not industry standard; it is not normal. We have all kinds of one-offs. We do need flexibility in the solutions that we get. I will say that Metallic has been extremely flexible in that sense, where we are able to follow the bouncy ball if we wanted to. Obviously, we didn't. We did it our way and Metallic, as a whole solution, provided that to us with no issues."
"It is easy to use and stable. It delivers what has been promised. When it says it can do something, it can actually do it, as opposed to some of its competitors."
"Complete Data Protection is convenient because you can manage various types of databases, and it's pretty easy to set it up."
"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."
"The technical support is excellent."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."
"The solution is very stable."
"I would like them not to push Command Center. It is good, but I would like them to enable all the features for the Java console. Some things are not in the Java console, like Office 365 agents. In fact, they are there, but one of the engineers had to show me how to configure it. It's not done the same as in the Command Center."
"Commvault Complete Data Protection would benefit from improving their training resources."
"Commvault's price is quite high."
"The interface could be improved because it has two different consoles."
"They should move the CommServe outside of Windows machines and the database should be distributed among servers. It's still a single point of failure."
"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."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."
"Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"There were minor UI bugs."
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email."
