"It is easy to use and stable. It delivers what has been promised. When it says it can do something, it can actually do it, as opposed to some of its competitors."
"There are many valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X giving many possibilities to complete jobs."
"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"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 most valuable feature of Commvault HyperScale X is the automatic nature of its operation. We don't need to worry about sets of documents. It worked automatically, we don't need to think about it. When you set the solution up in a good way, you don't need to worry."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"Great archive feature, OnePass, for the file system and Exchange servers."
"The solution is easy to use. It's very simple and clients find it very easy to find all objects and things they need with the Veeam Explorer."
"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
"The installation process is very easy."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"The solution provides good backup services for Microsoft 365."
"Once you set it up, it works very well. You do not have to go back to reconfigure it– it is very easy to use"
"Veeam is affordable and end-to-end configuration is straightforward, whether you're going from source to destination or vice versa. Retrieval is also easy."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."
"Training."
"Suppose I am restoring a particular file. If I want to restore the permissions only from that particular folder, that is not possible. I have to restore all the data for that particular folder. If there was an option to just restore the permissions, that would be better."
"The functional integration could be better."
"You need quite a lot of human resources to maintain a Commvault environment, to keep it operational. Also, it would be nice to if there were an easier way set up some Commvault components."
"The local support could be improved."
"The solution requires constant attention. Commvault is very complex. We are constantly making adjustments and working through hotfixes, updates, and issues."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"It would be nice to have just one email report come in, then we can filter out failures. If everything is backed up, we really don't need to see the report. If it is in a single report. A simpler customised report would be good."
"The solution announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"When you add a new site for backup, it gives you a notice that there is a new site, but the way you select that and configure that could be slightly better. It works, but it is not always very clear. For example, for the URL, you need to hover over the title or the name of the site. You should see it immediately on the screen. It should have a better user interface for selecting what you want to back up so that you get a more clear overview of the sites that are there and the ones that you want to combine in a backup. Its user interface should be more user-friendly. It has a lot of scrolling and doesn't give you a complete overview when needed. That's the main thing why it is not very user-friendly. It should have a better user interface."
"A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by reducing the time it takes for backups. I have mentioned this to Veeam and hopefully, in the next version, it will be a faster backup."
