Metallic™ Office 365 Backup and Recovery Reviews

ease of use and integration with Azure blob under the covers.

Nothing as of yet to dislike about the product.

Exchange backups were painful. O365 backups are smooth and we get per mailbox now every 8hr.. which is nice.

Whenever you have issues, and even with a good product like Commvault these happen, their support is terrific. They will go above and beyond to get you back up and working.

Their documentation is good, in fact too good. There is so much of it, it is sometimes hard to get an answer to a question.

Keeping our virtual servers and mainframes safe.

For taking backup it makes much easier with configuration as user friendly

Nil we were using it for so many days no issues observed

Helping to take automatic backups with easy configuration

Commvault can be integrated with almost any system like heterogeneous, and it is now towards to way more visionary

One thing that I will say about the Comcel console is that it needs proper training for the configuration

For most critical backup can be integrated with commvault near zero RTo capability

It is a SaaS solution, Commvault has two Metallic products:

1) Metallic for O365

This is mainly to protect O365 in terms of Exchange online, OneDrive, Sharepoint, MS Teams. When I started using this product, it was hosted in Germany.

SSO and SAML integration with Azure portal works very well. The granular recovery of messages including deleted items are one of the features here. You can also still filter the mailbox of resigned or disabled users (deleted objects) and it also has infinite retention policy. For example, if you started your journey with Metallic O365 in 2019 you can still go back to this year for mails restoration.

2) Metallic Data Protection

This is another SaaS Solution it is also available now in UAE region and in Azure Cloud Marketplace where you can simply enable it to protect you Azure environment. The good thing here you can extend this tool to protect your on promise as well, but you need a proxy server that can maintain the data protection of your client machines on premise. A local storage is also required to store the data locally with short retention for faster restoration, but the data upon the local backup can be taken as an aux copy to azure blob storage and will be transferred to a cool storage at the end of the way. With this tool you can protect your Oracle database, SQL servers, filesystem, and virtualization (Hyper-V and VMware). It can also protect your Azure environment, but there are certain consideration to be taken.

The implementation for each one of them is easy and no complication.

Licensing part or reporting part yet to be enhanced because some time it causes confusion to understand what is right and what is wrong.

The delegation part of mails, it is experienced that delegated mails from a backup to one person does not show all protected mails. After the delegation the user or the authorized person whom mails were delegated complained about not being able to find all mails. Metallic team were approached with this concern to clarify what could be the problem. There are various reasons here to also consider one of them is the archive of mails.

The support a bit challenging, they do not provide 24x7 support like veeam, the support also is not available or does not fall on all the weekdays. It is only 5 days and does not cover full day. it is contrary to what veeam does. I believe Metallic should solve this problem because it causes issues especially when you have severity 1, the support may take several days.

it is a wonderful solution and commvault is providing more enhancement. we are as customers also try to add more ideas to this solution by requesting few more features enhancement. It is a SaaS solution and it can be found on azure if you use Microsoft Azure Cloud, and it will cover all your needs.

it took the headache of maintaining the infrastructure, previously admins used to handle local microsoft exchange, here you need to maintain the servers (physical or even virtual), the storage space, the troubleshooting, etc. But with Metallic SaaS this is completely taken out and handled by Metallic in the backend and nothing to worry from this perspective.

With Metallic O365 the retention is infinite and no matter what you back up it will be considered unlimited.

Metallic Data Protection for backing up servers, virtual machines, database is a bit different from O365, it is for different purpose and the retention policy is limited, the storage capacity is limited and you pay what you consume.

Metallic O365 gives complete data protection for Microsoft O365 environment.

Backup Plans, - infinite incremental backup plan is something that I really liked about the product

Sometimet the interface does not show full options so have to log off and then log in back after a couple of minutes.

Storing backups, Recovering and taking up critical mails backups

User freindly web console and easy to manage. Single console for all worlkloads makes easier to manage everything.

Lack of real-time replication of data base applications.

Protecting company data and meeting complienaces.

the best thing about Commvault B&R is the ease of recovery from a backup using Commvault

None. My experience with Commvault has been nothing but a pleasure

Commvault solves a big problem of disaster recovery in our company. Such a great piece of software and an absolute lifesaver on many occasions!

The product does what it says. If it is in the commcell it is backed up. The interface in the product is clear and concise. The menus do what they say and following the process is easy.

It requires and good knowledge of the terms used. If you learn the terms the prosy is easy to use

It allows to backup our fleet. Virtual, physical and databases . Once it is set up it just works. Great reporting as well.

Easy setup, good notifying when problems occur, full backup of O365 tenant

complicated UI - several functioanlities are controlled by one GUI that is not adaptive ...
