Find out in this report how the two File Archiving solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"The most valuable feature of Metallic is its flexibility and user-friendly."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"The 1-Touch recovery feature is helpful for all customers."
"They have a strong development team and are market leaders in the space."
"I did not face issues with the product's scalability...The solution's technical support is good."
"The tool's implementation has made life easier for customers. It is sold by SAP. The integration between SAP and the solution is good, making it easy to access the documents. It is widely recognized as a market leader in enterprise document management."
"We like how the solution allows us to have retention of records and workflows, as well as its fire plan."
"The product can be integrated with different solutions."
"An advantage is integration with your IP directory."
"It has a robust search but has often been difficult for people to learn."
"The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me. My OneDrive is protected by multifactor authentication, and to get the backup to begin behind that multifactor authentication took a little bit of almost customized support, even though I was following the instructions and the videos. That process could have been easier."
"Commvault Complete Data Protection would benefit from improving their training resources."
"Suppose I am restoring a particular file. If I want to restore the permissions only from that particular folder, that is not possible. I have to restore all the data for that particular folder. If there was an option to just restore the permissions, that would be better."
"We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign."
"The most common feedback I get in terms of Commvault is that it can be complex. I always refer my customers back to their own environment. Almost everything that goes into Commvault is a request by a customer. While it can be complex, it can also be very simple. You just need to understand your environment in order to make sure that you really need to turn on that extra feature or thing inside of Commvault. Maybe you don't need those things. It really depends on how simple or complex your environment is, whether you need all of Commvault's features."
"We are using a production environment with customer-sensitive data on it. As per our central bank rules and regulations, we can't keep our customer's sensitive data in the cloud."
"There is room for improvement in the Knowledge Base and error reporting. I would like to see best practices in the Knowledge Base, and have the ability to diagnose errors without contacting support."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"OpenText Content Manager needs to improve its user interface. Its installation process is difficult and can be made easier."
"The stability of the solution is an area of concern where improvements can be made."
"Support could be enhanced. The first line of support consists of individuals who lack experience with some key aspects. When you create a support ticket, the time to resolve the issue may be prolonged because the first person may not understand the system or the solution."
"The product could improve its scalability."
"Due to very limited use in the industry, vendor and contract support are hard to find."
"The ease of use should be addressed."
