Sheron B., a systems engineer at PAREXEL International Corporation, writes, “I like that you have complete hooks into and total control of your data. The data is well-protected. It doesn't age off until it's copied. That's a big feature right there. When you reach the end of your retention, it does not expire until the secondary copy is completed. That allows you to hold onto data that otherwise would have aged off by retention. I like that feature. It's hard to just delete or lose data using the Commvault platform.”
Dilip R., a Storage Engineer at a wellness & fitness company, writes, "We do not use Command Center, but we are using the CommCell Console. We're navigating and manipulating the entire environment by using the CommCell Console, and we are comfortable with it. We didn't find Command Center user-friendly. We found it a bit difficult to use. It decreases the efficiency of the tasks to be performed. It was probably implemented as a centralized application to manage all environments, but it was probably not a good idea. I and my colleagues across the globe are comfortable with using the CommCell Console rather than Command Center."
