| CTO at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees | 3.5 | I've used Commvault for backup and DR, appreciating its replication and instant recovery, and good ROI. However, I found the initial setup very complex, and it could improve large database backups and cater to smaller companies. |
| Lead - Cloud Engineering at a tech services company with 201-500 employees | 4.0 | I've used the solution for six months and find it excellent for disaster recovery, supported by great technical support. My main concern is its high price and the need for more competitive features to keep pace. |
| Principal Consultant at Kronicles (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd | 5.0 | I find this robust solution excellent for backup data management, improving our organization through its flexibility, functionality, and ease of use. I would like a scaled-down, pay-per-use version for SMEs. |
The primary use of the solution is for backup and disaster recovery for medium to large size companies.
The solution's most valuable features are copy replication, instant recovery, and disaster recovery.
The solution could be adapted to fit other use cases for smaller companies. Additionally,
better and faster backups of large databases.
I have used the solution for five years.
The stability is good.
I have found the stability to be good in this solution.
The technical support is good but could be improved. They have great technicians and engineers, but they really need to stick to the problem when there is one.
I found the solution's initial setup to be very complex and overall deployment was not easy.
We have received a very good and quick ROI from this solution.
The solution is very effective for the money you spend. They need to have better competent IT department assistants in order to get the best out of the solution.
I rate Commvault Active Copy Management a seven out of ten.
The solution has multiple use cases. One primary example is using it for creating a secondary copy for disaster recovery, DR, types of events.
The product's technical support is very good. They are very strong. Our POC was quite successful due to the help of technical support. They were very knowledgeable and responsive.
The solution has a lot of capabilities that address different company needs.
The solution should be offered at a better price. What I keep on hearing from our pre-sales and sales team is that there are competitive products, which are doing great on the commercial trends. If their pricing proves to be much higher in comparison than these, it is possible we might leave.
The solution should offer more options. They need to make sure that their features are keeping pace with competitors.
There is more to be done with DR and DR management. Any additional features that could be added on that front would be a great thing.
We started using the solution about six months ago. It hasn't been that long. It's been about half a year or so.
There are more than 15 users on the solution currently.
It's too early to be able to say if we will increase usage at this time. We've only really just started using it.
Technical support is excellent. They are extremely helpful and their assistance helped make our deployment process run as smoothly as it did. We are extremely satisfied with their level of support.
I can't quite recall how long the initial implementation took, however, it is my understanding that it has been weeks.
It was joint work between our team and Commvault.
We currently have four people on our team that handled the deployment and maintenance.
Commvault and its team were a part of the implementation process. They were very helpful and responsive.
The solution is quite high. There are other options on the market that are less expensive. The licensing on offer could be better.
In general, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been quite happy with the solution overall, even though it is still quite new to us.
I'd recommend the solution to other companies and users. I already have recommended it to a few.
Our primary use case for this solution is to provide management for backup data.
This product has improved our organization through its flexibility, functionality, and ease of use.
What I find most valuable about this solution is that it is robust.
I would like to see a scaled down version to cater to SME needs, where the licensing model is exchanged for a pay per use model.
