It saves costs on the product side by doing compression and deduplication. It will help you and make your life easy to reach the data that you need within the minimum downtime when it's required."
"Quick backups and restores of data are the most valuable features. It is important that it is an easy solution to integrate with the SAML authentication of our tenant, so we can have our users log into the systems and do their own restores, if needed."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"The most valuable feature of Metallic is its flexibility and user-friendly."
"Commvault is a very stable product."
"It never fails. Sometimes we miss a backup, but there's always a reason for it, and it's not the fault of Commvault. In the last three years, we've never had to open a ticket with Commvault."
"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."
"The 1-Touch recovery feature is helpful for all customers."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to back up IBM Power virtual servers."
"This is a very flexible product, which allows you to back up not only the physical environment but also the cloud environment."
"This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it."
"The interface easy to use and it is compatible with most backup devices."
"This solution works well and has good integration with technologies such as VMware and Hyper-V."
"Good open file option feature, SQL agent, and EM agent."
"We have virtual infrastructure, so restoring virtual machine systems from backups is also very easy."
"The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
"I would like them not to push Command Center. It is good, but I would like them to enable all the features for the Java console. Some things are not in the Java console, like Office 365 agents. In fact, they are there, but one of the engineers had to show me how to configure it. It's not done the same as in the Command Center."
"I would like to have a manager-level dashboard to review the backups. This is not from an administrative perspective where you can see the details of the execution. Rather, it would only show the percentage of completeness for each one."
"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."
"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"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 Java interface is not great. The Command Center interface is far better and it looks nicer, but it doesn't have all the powerful features available in the CommServe/Java console. The place to improve the product is on the management interface level."
"Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
"The console of Veritas Backup Exec is complex when compared to other software."
"There still a lot of room for improvement in synthetic technologies, especially when targeted to deduplication media."
"The solution could improve by having better documentation."
"The scalability could be improved even though the solution is targeted to small customers."
