"Commvault helps to ensure broad coverage with the discovery of unprotected workloads. This is important. From the moment that we set it up, we mostly have customers telling us what they need to back up. Then, you can list the machines that are not yet protected. Sometimes, we can see that they are unaware of this, and say, "We didn't know that those servers were not protected yet," or "We did not back them up yet.""
"One valuable feature is unlimited backup. You can back up existing users and folders."
"The return points are very valuable."
"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."
"Quick backups and restores of data are the most valuable features. It is important that it is an easy solution to integrate with the SAML authentication of our tenant, so we can have our users log into the systems and do their own restores, if needed."
"The solution’s user interface for managing the on-prem environment is good."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system. It is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients."
"The solution uses minimal resources."
"NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is the duplication encryption standard feature."
"There are a lot of new features that operate to protect the data from ransomware attacks. They launched the Veritas/Appliances to protect our data. Veritas has been doing its job well."
"The solution has a very easy-to-navigate user interface."
"Installing this solution is very simple and takes perhaps five or ten minutes."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used in many different kinds of systems."
"Improved documentation and user training resources could contribute to a smoother onboarding process and more effective utilization of the platform's capabilities."
"This product is overly complex to operate and run."
"They can improve the security level for Windows. When mapping to the Windows, Commvault can take full control over data volumes so that the attacker can't delete the volume data, but the Windows admin can access the volumes. It would be great to block access at that level."
"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."
"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."
"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."
"With respect to the cloud, they need to offer more integrations."
"I just wanted to compare the features, which are there in EMC NetWorker, which are not available in Commvault. We have things using Networker."
"It is not easy because I have worked a lot on the tool, and in case it gets corrupted at any point, it is not easy to restore the data without losing information is not easy."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot."
"This solution has to have better integration with the cloud, as well as with other solutions such as Business Intelligence products."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower."
"The monitoring could be a bit better."
"Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
