"The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"Metallic helped me to restore the data within an hour, which is much faster than restoring from Microsoft services."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"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."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"Its compression and deduplication allow us to store more backups and save storage space. The reporting is great; we are able to obtain critical business reports and infrastructure/usage information very easily."
"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."
"The scalability is good."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers."
"It was easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the ease of use. You only need to create a folder in your drive and it's as simple as dragging and dropping files to store them."
"The solution provides good backup services for Microsoft 365."
"I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly."
"Commvault is complex even if the product has comprehensive solutions and covers pretty much every technology out there. There's no unified way to manage all of the products on one single console."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign."
"The stability of the tool could be improved."
"Additional SaaS application support would be good... we have SaaS applications that may not be big enough for Commvault to support yet. Box.com is one we've asked about for years, and it's just not on the radar, as far as I know."
"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."
"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."
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
"When using Veeam Backup for Office 365 when there is a server that's running, I have to have a hard drive installed on it. For example, if I want to use another storage solution, I can't incorporate it very well. If I want to use SMB or other protocols I cannot use them with the Veeam Backup for Office 365. They have the support in the other Veeam Backup and Restore solutions, but it doesn't support it in this solution. Hopefully, in the future, they figured it out."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
"It would be beneficial to implement a mechanism that allows for more efficient input processing, such as recognizing the first capital letter of an email account."
"The license pricing can be reduced."
"If Veeam could offer backup as a service for data backup and recovery, that would be great. We'd like something like what Druva is offering at the moment."
"The solution announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go."
"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."
