Simplifying Recognition: Our Updated Community Gamification StructureBlog

Our updated Community Gamification Rank System Our community has always awarded points and ranks to our members, but we’ve recently made some changes to the system. What’s Changed? We have updated our community rank structure to make it simpler. Previously, we had too many ranks, which made it difficult to understand where you stood or how to progress. We've consolidated the ranks and made sure that each move up the ranks represents a significant contribution to the community. This includes changing the Apprentice rank to 100 points, because we wanted to celebrate our newest members that post helpful replies more quickly than in the previous scheme.

Community Gamification Rank SystemBlog

Our Community Gamification Rank System Welcome to the heart of our community! We believe that every contribution deserves recognition, whether it’s a helpful answer, a thoughtful reply, or a simple "like". Our community rank system is designed to celebrate your journey from newcomer to proven expert. The goal of this system is to foster a helpful, collaborative environment. The ranks serve three primary purposes: Trust signaling: Helping you identify experienced community members who consistently provide high-quality answers. Activity tracking: Celebrating your personal journey and growth within the community. Community health: Rewarding behaviors such as marking responses as solutions, which make the Community more valuable for everyone.

Documentation feedback: Missing OS compatibility requirement for VM Threat Analysis

I would like to provide feedback on the documentation related to Virtual Machine Threat Analysis.The current documentation explains Threat Analysis behavior mainly from a Linux perspective, but it does not clearly mention OS compatibility requirements between the Threat Scan Server and the guest OS of the VM being scanned.Based on validation in multiple environments, the following behavior is observed: Linux Threat Scan Server → supports Linux VM threat analysis Linux Threat Scan Server → does not support Windows VM threat analysis Windows VM threat analysis works correctly only when a Windows Threat Scan Server

Commvault Emails in German

With in the last few weeks I have noticed all my “ads” from commvault about coming seminars and such are always in German. I checked my profile and its set to preferred language on United States - English. I am worried someone how account was hacked or just getting spam fake Commvault emails. If they are fake they look REALLY good. Anyone else having this type of issue? I have no idea what category to put this in so just put it under Community Feedback. If thats wrong a mod can tell me where to put it. Thanks all.

The worst support I have ever experienced

We have had this product for several months and I can’t get it to work and every case I have created gets an automated message every week saying they are working on it but I have never had an actual response. Then I get frustrated and close the case and create a new different one, and the automatted feedback message gives a link to give 5 stars on everything and submits it with no input. The absolute worst and then they pad the numbers with the false 5 star reviews. We very much regret this purchase

Anyone else noticing Commvault support going downhill?

Hey everyone, Just wondering if anyone else has noticed a dip in the quality of Commvault support recently? I’ve been a big fan of their support for years—always quick to jump in, super helpful, and they’d properly hand off stuff to other teams if needed. Felt like they really had your back, you know? But lately, it feels like they’ve started following this strict “rule book” approach—like, "A = A, B = B," and if something crosses into another stream within Commvault, they just tell you to raise a separate ticket. No calls, delays in responses, and it feels like they’re dodging issues instead of actually resolving them. It’s not even about break/fix tickets anymore—there’s this whole attitude shift. They used to go above and beyond, but now it’s like they just want to pass the buck. I’m not even gonna bring up ticket references, but I’ve seen enough of this trend to feel like it’s not just a one-off. We’ve got premium support f

24 hours waiting: My post still isn't published - Can admin help?"

On Monday, I wrote a post about an error when trying to recover a backup from tape. The post wasn’t published, indicating it needed to be moderated for 24 hours. That time has passed, and it still hasn’t been posted. Is there a way to reach the admin team and avoid having to rewrite it?

Non-Public Section for Reporting Minor Bugs?

I think it could be beneficial to have a non-public section for the reporting of minor bugs.I understand I could go through the full Support process, but I really don’t want to go to that much effort for a minor bug.
