For a state agency, with limited funds, the one drawback is the cost of licensing. CommVault does offer a great EDU discount program. However, the results and peace of mind you get from knowing that your data is protected faw outweighs the cost

Commvault is comprehensive, powerful, and getting better with each release.

Commvault is an end-to-end solution for data protection and disaster recovery, but it can do even more. Commvault makes auditing a breeze with its built-in reporting and available data analytics.

It's very handy and easy to set up. Software/Solution is stable and does its job well. We have replaced previous backup solution with Metallic and we are very pleased about it.

It is not Commvault; not everything is supported by now (but most of the most common setups is). In general, it's easy to use, but in some cases, Commvault (base product) knowledge is helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps most of the backup infra out of our sight, which allows us to avoid management, patching etc. It supports a lot of SaaS solutions and native cloud ones, what's very handy in modern environments.
Very complex and power product. Still learning after a few years!
What do you like best about the product?
Great support. As a very large customer, we push the limits of what this product can do and have hit snags on occasion. Support has been great! One product to rule them all.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe that it's so complex with so many options and features. Command Center is still not as capable as the Console GUI.

Consolidating all other backup products to Commvault.
