    Commvault
    Commvault works well in a large environments with a variety of client types and data classes. With its policy-based configurations, it makes administration of large environments easier when configuring storage and retention, copies, schedules, client configs, etc. Commvault also backs up just about everything you can think of, and works with almost all storage and compute platforms, so there are rarely any cases where Commvault cannot accommodate.

    Microsoft has a variety of models and tiers available to choose from. Depending on the nature of your firm, you should seek the advice of a specialist. Also, if you're like most people and use Microsoft Office, ask about it. Having the ability to collaborate online while still saving your documents to SharePoint increases your overall productivity.

    Commvault
    • Commvault is the Swiss Army knife for data protection in an Enterprise environment. You name the environment and Commvvault has something to protect it. Very helpful in this on-prem/off-prem world that is developing into a DevOps world.
    • Improves our Disaster Recovery
    • Starting to utilize for data migration for VMware in places where Zerto is too expensive

    Commvault
    • For database restores, it has to restore the entire database in order to recover just one table.
    • Backups of virtual machines with direct attached storage is difficult.
    • I wish it covered cloud assets more thoroughly, like AWS ELBs and Security Groups.

    • Time to restore the mailings
    • To change the characteristics of the archive I need to communicate with the administrator
    • When the administrator eliminates the mail account it also eliminates the archives created

    Commvault
    It is serving it's purpose and for companies that have a smaller IT staff, it is not time consuming to manage. Support for the product when needed has been very good and they are responsive when tickets are opened for support. The product is scalable so as we grow we can easily increase the resources as needed on the backend.

    Commvault
    Have a interface very user friendly. You do not need a lot of training, or any formal training really, to get up and going and use nearly all of the functionality of the product. This facilitates the post-implementation company as it reduces costs with backup specialists and any trained analyst can take care of its infrastructure. One negative point is not all the options and features are in the HTML view.

    Commvault
    I would rate Commvault's support as an 'average' support. Now that we have a very experienced guy working with Commvault, most of the time we can fix or do anything by ourselves. We had some issues with their support taking a really long time to respond and fix some issues in the past. In most cases we ended up appealing to the community, other peers, or Commvault's SE team.

    Plan well and make sure you collect all the required information and details before going for implementation. Organize it in step by step or break the setup into different modules to make it simple.

    Commvault
    • I am not privy to ROI, but just having confidence and trust that Commvault will back up whatever needs backing up, and that we will always be able to restore it quickly, allows our technical people to concentrate on the problem at hand, knowing that we do not have to worry about the safety of the data. This saves time for some very expensive human resources and shortens schedules by eliminating a whole class of data safety and disaster recovery issues.

    • Is included with exchange online plans at no extra cost, so why not use it?
    • Has helped solve some specific user requirements eg auto-delete emails older than a certain age, and auto move emails from certain folders after a period of time.
