Find out what your peers are saying about Commvault, Veeam Software, N-able and others in SaaS Backup."It's a very straightforward product that is well integrated with everything."
"It helped us reduce the number of servers that are required for a stable operation."
"The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"Commvault's Command Center is one of the best solutions out there. You can rely on Commvault solutions for the most complex and most demanding environments."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature."
"We have VMware, Hyper-V, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL. We have a lot of different systems, and all of them are supported under one licensing agreement. That's one of the benefits."
"The embedded deduplication engine is really good because we use a Near Line SAS disk as a repository for our backups, and we don't need to pay for another appliance such as a Data Domain or Quantum so that we can have hardware-based deduplication."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"The product alerts the security team about threats."
"In the next release, I would like to see better prices for the licenses."
"Data center backup must 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."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."
"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."
"Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
"The back of virtual machines needs improvement. I know they're working on it. They're always doing new things but I think they still have a little bit more to do."
