Galaxy Backup Review

Comments: It really proved to be effective since i was able to recover all data from my previous phone S3 without a hustle which included data of prevous clients i had met with in a business meetings i had attended.

Pros:

I love it cause it helped me to recover my S3 phone data. which screen had broken it proved to be efficient since i brought a new S4 galaxy and after signing with my samsung galaxy account everything automatically updated it self to my new phone. That's amazing.

Cons:

It can only be effective if you have a samsung galaxy phone.

Best place for backup data sacurely

4.0 last month New

Pros:

A wide array of backup methods by Commvault Backup & Recovery is what I like the most. And another best thing is it has robust disaster recovery capabilities, which enables organizations to replicate their data to secondary sites or cloud environments, ensuring business continuity in case of system failures or disasters.

Cons:

There are significantly fewer cons to this, but I can say that for Begineer, it will take some time to understand due to its comprehensive functionality and capabilities. And for small businesses or organizations with tight budgets, it makes them less affordable.

Commvault can save your bacon

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: CV Cloud has allowed me a lot more freedom to address the other data protection solutions at my disposal, and build out my data protection policies to be more thorough.

Pros:

It's very nice to not have to rely on an on-site datacenter in regards to backup- having data in multiple locations is always a plus. I also like the security measures in place within CV Cloud, allowing for additional hurdles for any bad actor.

Cons:

Occasionally there are data discrepancies, but between the customer support, and the regular updates, they're rarely more than an inconvenience.

Thumbs up for HyperScale

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Easy implementation which provides a proper HA solution for sites, functions as expected.

Pros:

It's not a black box solution. Adjustments to the environment can be made, some with help of Commvault. Gluster functionality, no more rebuilding disks and data is always available!

Cons:

It is based on a Linux foundation, sorry not a Linux admin :) Limited in devices which can be connected when using appliance.

Metallic is the Apple of Backup and Recovery Solutions!

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: My overall experience with Metallic has been AMAZING! I can't say enough things good about them. The pricing the support and getting up and going was so easy. I call them the Apple of Backup solutions because its true. One call and they get you all setup until your data is protected! They will work with big and small businesses which I personally like. Everyone needs protection.

Pros:

I like how easy it is to get setup and started. You can be up and running backing up your office 365 same day! I put in a request for service within that day I was speaking with a rep to get me activated and up and running. Its gives me peace of mind that I can set this up and running same day and move forward on with my day.

Cons:

There isn't any experience I could say that is bad. The experience I had with them was nothing but good.

We use it for backing up servers

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

We use this to back up servers such as SharePoint sites and documents. It is easy to browse the backup files and restore individual files or entire site collections. This is not a product for end users, only administrators can access the backups and perform restores.

Cons:

Slightly dated looking but is otherwise functional and easy to use. Installation and set up can be daunting the first time around.

Migrated to Hyperscale and no looking back

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: As the title says "Migrated to Hyperscale and no looking back". We have great sales people and excellent support from Commvault.

Pros:

The speed of the backup. Being on a Linux platform, not having to constantly be rebooting MAs because of running out of memory or other issues. It great to come in the morning and have everything done and not spending the morning re-running failed jobs.

Cons:

Being the 1st in our state and one of the 1st 50 customers, there were lots of growing pains. Biggest issue is the extra hardware spend for 10 GB switches for the HS network. Also, as mentioned, having to add 3 nodes at a time. Also, spending over 3 months to figure out how to route DASH copies over a different route than configured.

Nice all in one product for cloud and on prem

4.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Metallic has a nice web based console that consolidates all off their product line. It was important for us to be able to continue to use our distributed onsite storage for targets rather than the cloud and this allows that. They also offer Dynamics and 365 backups.

Cons:

Our biggest concern was they are unable to target tape devices, who uses those right? But we wanted to be able to at one location as a secondary backup. The pro's won out though and we want with them.

An all encompassing back up solution

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

Commavault has come along way from when we started using them back on V6. We now use them for a single pane of glass backups.. Virtual, physical, exchange, DB.

Cons:

I guess the least thing I like is some of the documentation is hard to follow. There are so many different ways to configure agents and sometimes the documentation does not follow the UI.
