"The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature."
"A very stable and scalable platform (you can backup/restore/protect a couple of MBs or hundred of TBs as well from the same console/platform)."
"The expanse of the decoys that they have is valuable. They cover everything on the corporate side that you would think of, such as Windows, Linux, and even applications like SAP. They also go into the OT environment and emulate OT devices as well."
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems."
"The backup and restore capabilities are key. The most useful things to us about Commvault, in general, is the breadth of the applications that it can protect as well as the features inside of it, like deduplication and encryption. When people get their data encrypted, Commvault has a way to tell if somebody is being attacked through a cybersecurity threat because their data changes. So, Commvault has what they call honeypot files out there to look to see if anybody is changing these files. Only Commvault knows which files those are, so nobody should be messing with those files. If it changes, then it will alert you to say, "Oh, I potentially have somebody messing with my files." It will alert you to something going on in your environment that probably shouldn't be happening. We deploy that with all our customers so they have this capability as well."
"The UI is very user-friendly and testing is easy."
"Virtual Machine Recovery during DR situation, with automation and easy to use menus and options."
"This SRM solution can improve your footprint within a data center."
"My impression is that the initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"The replication is a key feature."
"The installation and initial setup are straightforward."
"If you want to do failover, it works without any problem."
"It made the DR process a lot faster and easier for recovery after we were familiar with the product operation."
"Data center backup must be improved."
"I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly."
"We are using a production environment with customer-sensitive data on it. As per our central bank rules and regulations, we can't keep our customer's sensitive data in the cloud."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"Its technical support could be better."
"I need documentation for Azure backups. One expectation that I have is regarding PDF documentation. When I was trying to browse the documentation, I could not locate that."
"There is room for improvement in the Knowledge Base and error reporting. I would like to see best practices in the Knowledge Base, and have the ability to diagnose errors without contacting support."
"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"You need a lot of knowledge to work with the interface because it is not really easy to use, and it would be great if the dashboard were simplified."
"Sometimes it can cause a bit of downtime during switchovers."
"The version we are currently using is not the latest and greatest but it has buggy behavior in some browsers."
"The user experience could be more friendly."
"The configuration process could be improved."
"You cannot use VMware SRM in conjunction with storage replication software."
"There is room for improvement in the automation and orchestration aspects of this solution."
"The solution must provide better integration with third-party vendors."
