"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"The use of hyperscale storage hardware and Commvault software has allowed us to create a large storage pool and achieve significant savings in our back-end storage costs."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Real-time synchronization is a good feature."
"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."
"The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"What I find valuable is restoring the complete server. Restoring files is also valuable, but I like restoring the server because you don't have to rebuild a new one."
"IntelliSnap and file system backups are valuable features."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"Veaam technical support, from my perspective, is one of the best technical support I've ever engaged with."
"The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Teams environment."
"It was easy to set up."
"This is an easy-to-install easy-to-use solution for backing up Office 365 email."
"The solution helps reduce our workload."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved and made cheaper."
"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."
"The reporting could be improved because the reports we get from our partner aren't sufficient. It isn't very detailed. I'm not sure if it's an issue with our partner or Metallic. They do a full backup on Monday and incremental backups throughout the week. However, we don't get detailed reports about the size of the incremental backups. The report just tells us whether a backup was successful."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines."
"The installation could always be a little bit easier. You do need to be a bit technical."
"They should include some more options to send alerts in existing monitoring software."
"They don't have native integration with deduplication of storage."
"As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"Its price could be improved."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
