"The most valuable feature of Metallic is its flexibility and user-friendly."
"Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability it gives me to automate backups well and consistently, and to follow up on them as well. It also provides consistent recovery processes. Whenever we have needed to do a restore, it has worked quickly and efficiently."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"The recovery features are useful. It is easy to recover data. If something happens, we can easily recover data. We have faced ransomware issues twice, and we recovered because of Commvault."
"The solution also provides me with a complete view of our data. I write scripts to report information from the Command Center daily. I report it in HTML and have the status of the last day for the whole environment."
"Integration with Active Directory and the Azure platform make it a complete solution."
"Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"Veeam makes modular solutions, so you can install Veeam Backup for Office 365 and Veeam Backup and Replication in one single server. You can do an all in one installation, and roll it out."
"Its ability to restore at the item level is very valuable. It is very strong at that. In the past, we had to restore a lot of data only for a couple of items. We can now restore an item as well as an email, which is good for productivity."
"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"Its absolute functionality and intuitiveness are the most valuable features."
"The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to restore a specific email. For example, if a user has deleted an email and they would like that particular email back we are able to restore it."
"The solution's breadth and depth of cloud support are good, but could be better. Some cloud features that are common-sense, especially on AWS, are not completely integrated yet in the product. They are a work-in-progress."
"Commvault should keep and continue to develop the Java GUI."
"I would like more communication informing us on what Commvault is doing in the background."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"Could be easier to implement."
"Additional SaaS application support would be good... we have SaaS applications that may not be big enough for Commvault to support yet. Box.com is one we've asked about for years, and it's just not on the radar, as far as I know."
"The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory."
"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."
"They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release."
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
"In some instances, a customer is not necessarily backing up Microsoft 365. For instance, they might be backing up a large Oracle database. It would be nice if they could tweak it to compress the file, so it's easier to transfer a huge file."
"It's hard to predict the usage on the storage. I need to make some estimates for customers in terms of how much storage will be needed on the cloud, and this is always tricky. It would be helpful if they could help us estimate storage or simplify the estimation portion."
"They don't have native integration with deduplication of storage."
"It would be beneficial to implement a mechanism that allows for more efficient input processing, such as recognizing the first capital letter of an email account."
"The documentation for the installation is good. However, if you are new to the environment the installation could be difficult. The first time we did it it took approximately four days."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
