"The initial setup is super easy."
"The recovery options in Microsoft 365 are not adequate and it does not help to recover data from the recycle bin that is older than 90 days. The solution has made us more efficient and helps to recover data that is older than 90 days."
"Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"The solution includes the best compatibility metrics for integration and they are managed by Google support."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."

"Global deduplication and the indexing of the data object are the most valuable features. It saves costs on the product side by doing compression and deduplication. It will help you and make your life easy to reach the data that you need within the minimum downtime when it's required."
"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."
"Some customers choose other backup solutions because AvePoint is Office 365 and CRM backup system, but they have other backup needs for Azure and so on. Such customers often choose another backup solution instead of AvePoint."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"The component in the product that can be improved revolves around the area where the tool should focus on providing more of a custom touch to the policies."
"I would like to see improvements in the tool's initial seed. The initial seed of around 10 TB of SharePoint data took 45 days to complete."
"The restoration could be faster."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"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."
"The product does not provide an option to save a copy of data on-premises."
"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."
"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 pricing could be more flexible in terms of licensing."
"Training."
"I would like to have a manager-level dashboard to review the backups. This is not from an administrative perspective where you can see the details of the execution. Rather, it would only show the percentage of completeness for each one."
"There is room for improvement in terms of data security."
