"It has significantly reduced the amount of manual work required to manage our backup operations. We're going from an on-prem to a non-on-prem, we're all doing nonsolutions. So we really can't compare it against anything else."
"Commvault software is a single platform where you can enable whatever you want to use, like endpoint protection. You can enable those licenses on a single platform screen. This is where I see the value ad. This is a single management tool."
"Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful."
"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"All the management is centralized from that CommServe server. You can manage all the clients and all the infrastructure using one interface and one server... Using the Commvault interface, you can customize and generate multiple reports to easily see what is protected and what is not protected in the environment."
"One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore."
"The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"The most valuable features of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are you have many possibilities on how to use it. We use it for backups and to create secondary and third copies. It is possible to pick up Kubernetes containers and use a different cloud provider if you need to start backups on the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"A full-featured data protection solution that is reliable and stable."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."

"The solution integrates well with other tools."
"The local support could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console."
"The price of Commvault HyperScale X could improve."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"This product is overly complex to operate and run."
"Commvault is complex even if the product has comprehensive solutions and covers pretty much every technology out there. There's no unified way to manage all of the products on one single console."
"One issue we face is the complexity of the console. That could be improved on. It takes users time to get familiar with Commvault. On average, it takes our customers between one and three months to learn it. The console and the way you configure Commvault have very advanced settings. It takes time to understand how it works."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"I would like more integration with security. We need to show the value of the product in regards to handling security. For example, how it handles current malware or viruses. IBM should be more proactive in this direction."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"The tool needs to increase the number of threats."
