A simple, flexible, set-and-forget SaaS solution

Pros

"It is just about as flexible as you can get; simple. You can put it anywhere you want. You can put it on-prem or in your cloud. I could see where a team that's looking for more of a follow the bouncy ball type of solution might get a little confused. "Oh, no. What do you mean I might have to do it this way or I can't do it that way?" Sometimes, people just want to be told what to do. For an enterprise environment, like we are at NDOT, everything we do is not standard. It is not industry standard; it is not normal. We have all kinds of one-offs. We do need flexibility in the solutions that we get. I will say that Metallic has been extremely flexible in that sense, where we are able to follow the bouncy ball if we wanted to. Obviously, we didn't. We did it our way and Metallic, as a whole solution, provided that to us with no issues."

Cons

"Getting my guys the right access has a learning curve. Sometimes, it is, "Oh, okay. I think I got it for you." Then, they say, "Oh, nope. I logged in but I can't see this." Then, it is, "Okay, hold on. Give me a second. Let me change that. Okay, it's this one." That learning curve has probably taken a little bit longer than some simpler things. So, Metallic has some granularity, and as a systems administrator, I appreciate that. At the same time, I also realize that I have to learn it."

Provides excellent visibility and helps reduce costs and time

Pros

"The features I find most helpful in Commvault are its ability to perform incremental backups and significantly reduce backup times for our diverse multi-architecture, multi-environment environment."

Cons

"Commvault could benefit from increased automation to streamline processes and enhance predictability."

Provides extremely fast backup, is easy to manage, and is flexible

Pros

"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."

Cons

"Commvault should keep and continue to develop the Java GUI."

Helps us achieve large deduplication savings, quick backup times, and good visibility

Pros

"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."

Cons

"The workflow has room for improvement."

We can easily find and restore files, save backup time, and limit exposure

Pros

"Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature."

Cons

"I would like more communication informing us on what Commvault is doing in the background."

Significantly reduced the amount of manual work required to manage our backup operations

Pros

"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."

Cons

"The navigation of it needs improvement in terms of the UX. The product itself, it works as expected. It's all user experience and user interface improvements that could be made and it could be made a little more consumer-friendly."

Product version discussed: Version 11, Service Pack 22
Supports all kinds of environments and reduces storage costs and workload

Pros

"IntelliSnap for snapshot collection is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to back up large amounts of data."

Cons

"We do not use Command Center, but we are using CommCell Console. We're navigating and manipulating the entire environment by using CommCell Console, and we are comfortable with it. We didn't find Command Center user-friendly. We found it a bit difficult to use. It decreases the efficiency of the tasks to be performed. It was probably implemented as a centralized application to manage all environments, but it was probably not a good idea. I and my colleagues across the globe are comfortable with using CommCell Console rather than Command Center."

We can do hourly backups on more systems than ever before, and our RPOs have decreased significantly

Pros

"It's easy to configure multiple jobs and media agent locations for each server. We do offsite backups for all of our servers, but we also do onsite hourly backups of them. That has benefited us several times when we had an incident and didn't want to roll back a server an entire day."

Cons

"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."
