We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"All of the features are most valuable because we're able to recover hard disks."

More AccessData FTK [EOL] Pros →

"Commvault provides the status of a backup or restore operation.""It's a complete software that can protect all the main applications. Perhaps that's the feature I like most. The integration with the NetApp and other apps is also very nice.""This is a very stable product.""We specialize in Commvault and IntelliSnap. Commvault covers all our customers' backup needs in one system, and they have complete control over their Snapshot backups. Snapshots are important to our customers because of the size of their data sets.""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.""We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager.""Commvault is a very stable product.""When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."

More Commvault Cloud Pros →

"Creating and running queries on the solution is very good."

More IBM eDiscovery Manager Pros →

Cons
"I think processing could be better. It really takes a lot of space, and it's very expensive to deploy."

More AccessData FTK [EOL] Cons →

"The customer support is not good.""We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines.""For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments.""They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays.""The pricing of the solution can be improved and made cheaper.""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 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.""Just to keep it running is time-consuming. There are five people on my team. Commvault was supposed to be one of the less time-consuming solutions, but in reality it takes 60 percent of our time just to keep it running, and that's not even fine-tuning it; that's just to keep it running."

"The initial setup is a bit complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "AccessData FTK is too expensive compared to EnCase."
  • More AccessData FTK [EOL] Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
  • "There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
  • "New licensing is easy and affordable."
  • "Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
  • "Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
  • "In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually."
  • "The price could perhaps be lower as well."
  • "Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers."
