You can even have your backup manager running on a virtual machine and use physical managers to move data around. Their VMware integration isn't too bad, but Commvault has that feature, and many other backup products do."

"The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly, to backup Microsoft exchange."

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."

"We face challenges with its stability."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"

"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"I do not think that this solution is relevant in the current IT market. They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive."
