Backup *should* be simple and comprehensive **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Roger B. | Senior Solutions Architect, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2020 **What do you like best about Commvault Cloud?** Metallic is an enterprise-level backup using the same Commvault backup/disaster recovery solution that major companies globally use today, but it's designed for easy deployment into the modern workplace; remote employees. I set it up at my home on my Macintosh and PC within minutes, immediately it began to back up data and soon I had a full backup in the Azure cloud. **What do you dislike about Commvault Cloud?** I've been in the backup and storage industry for over 20 years, starting with ArcServe and Cheyenne, so I'd like an advanced console for those that hanker for a bit more customizing. A "nice to have" would be the ability to restore into a virtual machine in either Azure or AWS. **What problems is Commvault Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** The home PC (or Mac) is incredibly vulnerable to data loss and deployment of cloud solutions like iCloud, Onedrive, or Dropbox aren't as widespread or easy as they should. Metallic Endpoint's default configuration starts with the most common places on a PC that need to be backed up; Documents, pictures, user directories, etc. Too much emphasis is placed on recovery of the whole machine when only a small part of it is critical; your personal data. Also, Metallic Endpoint allows a user to do what backup administrators have been dreaming of for YEARS; restore their own data. In a study I was part of at a previous employer, we discovered that most of a backup admin's time is consumed by completing file restores from individual users. Frequently, it was for a file that hadn't been backed in a timely fashion or at all. ### 16.

Once setup things ran very well. Probably the best part was that it was a backup software and not particular about what storage medium you use. **What do you dislike about Commvault Cloud?** In retrospect, we really needed a person dedicated just to the commvault product to stay on top of the backup and recovery process.

If everything did work I would say the interface is ok, if extremely large and complex. **What do you dislike about Commvault Cloud?** Where do I start? Delivered features were not as described. We ended up having to purchase additional software to achieve the email archiving functionality promised. Lots of additional proxies were required (and a Server 2012 license for each one). The industry-leading customer service was exactly the opposite. Took forever to get resolutions. Commvault representatives berated me for trying to get escalations for problems that turned out to be known issues. Tech reps unfamiliar with new features. One VM still not backed-up after one solid week of tech support and escalation. edit: After 5 months and one Service Pack patch things are running fairly smoothly. The application is still prone to unexpected failures along the path from agent to proxy to media server however the tech support is prompt and effective. **Recommendations to others considering Commvault Cloud:** I suggest comparing with Unitrends. **What problems is Commvault Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Reliable backups and simple and quick restoration of data, including Oracle. ### 48.
