Find out what your peers are saying about Commvault, Veeam Software, N-able and others in SaaS Backup."It's a very straightforward product that is well integrated with everything."
"It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it."
"Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful."
"In the VM, we have Live Recovery, Live Mount, and Live Sync."
"Great archive feature, OnePass, for the file system and Exchange servers."
"The solution has the fastest backup and better licensing."
"The solution's interface is easy to use. For manageability, it doesn't matter where the resource is coming from or going to. That's the great power of the Control Panel: It's easy to use and does not matter if you manage on-prem or cloud resources."
"Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"In the next release, I would like to see better prices for the licenses."
"I would like more communication informing us on what Commvault is doing in the background."
"The product does not provide an option to save a copy of data on-premises."
"Commvault's price is quite high."
"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."
"Mostly controls, visibility, cost allocation."
"Its dashboard could be improved to provide a summarized version of all the jobs instead of having to go through each one of them. We should easily be able to glance at all issues. If I had not gone with the on-premise version, I would have had regular reports with the cloud version. It would be an advantage if they increase the compression rate of the backup. I am keeping it on-prem, so I'll need more disks depending on the policies that I have in the retention period. Its price could also be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage."
"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."
"Command Center definitely gives us a complete view of our data. But finding some of the granular, very small items that we sometimes have to find, such as auxiliary copies for tapes, I still find that it's easier to navigate and, sometimes, only possible to find them using the CommCell tool."
