Commvault Cloud Reviews

The solution is mostly used for backups as customers ask for virtual machine backups.

A lot of customers have lost their data and Commvault Backup & Recovery has helped recover it.

The return points are very valuable.

The pricing of the solution can be improved and made cheaper.

I have been working with Commvault Backup & Recovery for two years. 

The solution is highly stable. I rate the stability a nine out of ten. 

Commvault is a scalable solution. At present, medium businesses work with the solution. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten. 

The technical support team is good. I rate the support a nine out of ten. 

Positive

The initial setup is easy. The deployment depends on the size of the project but usually takes a few hours. For the deployment, there is a console ID that needs to be implemented on the customer side. I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten. 

The solution is expensive. However, there are no additional costs involved. I rate the pricing a five out of ten. 

I would recommend my clients to choose Commvault's accessible license. I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

We use Commvault HyperScale X for effective backup, recovery, and archiving of hardware and software solutions.

The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform. They provide a duplication database as well.

There is room for improvement in the data center application running on the cloud for the platform.

The technical support is good. However, the support company is quite expensive.

Positive

We provide a complete installation for the product. It has medium complexity. One can set it up by reading the documentation. But in many cases, one needs technical support from the vendor or partner.

In our country, hardware solutions are very expensive. But the product is very competitive for pricing in some countries because it is possible to set up Commvault hardware with other vendors like HP, Lenovo, or SuperMicro using its certification.

The product provides the availability of servers. If one server is down, the other two work in that space. You get all solutions in one product and don't have to worry about the type of server, storage, or switch network you need to buy to set up the backup software.

I rate Commvault HyperScale X a nine out of ten.

We use the solution for cloud and data backup. 

I like the tool's Metalix compatibility and data availability. My customers also enjoy easy licensing and configuration. The tool also offers protection from ransomware. It offers easy integration with the cloud. 

The tool should revise its licensing. 

I have been working with the solution for five years. 

The product is stable and works fine. 

The tool is scalable. 

The toll's technical support is good. 

Positive

The product is easy to setup. We will first understand the customer requirements and then install the latest version of the solution. We need to also setup a backup policy configuration. The product's installation can be handled by a single person. The tool's deployment depends on the customer environment and policies. It can take anywhere between three days to two months for the solution to deploy. 

The tool is a feature-rich product. 

We are the most important communications company in Argentina. We deal with a large variety of customers. We are partners of Commvault and I'm the company founder. Our company provides IT solutions. 

Commvault has a unique administration platform and interfaces, providing backup, archive, reporting and replication features. Commvault has more features than its competitors. Net Backup, for example, doesn't integrate a lot. Commvault has only one platform and this is important for the customer. They don't have a large market share in Argentina but whenever we present it to our customers they like the product and want to do a proof of concept.

The product could be easier to implement, they could create a new console to configure the solution. I'd like to see improvements on the user interface, support, pricing, and integration with other solutions. They could also improve their marketing of the brand.

I've been working with this solution for almost seven years. 

The stability is good. 

The scalability is good. 

The initial setup is easy. Deployment time is dependent on the infrastructure of the customer.

This is a relatively new solution for customers in Argentina, so I go to a lot of effort to know the solution well and to present it to our customers. It's not easy but I think that when the customer becomes familiar with the solution, many want to change to it. The stand out aspect of Commvault is that it supports its clients on a unique platform. Whether it's underlying solutions, cloud solutions, SAP Hana, for example, replication backup, archiving, reporting, all of this is one platform. I would suggest starting with small solutions, to learn the product and see if it's the best option for your needs.

I would rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

Since our corporation is big, it was really difficult to back up specific data types, manage admin roles, have true visibility of where my data was stored and whether it was effectively being backed up.

Now, I know where my backup data is. I can leverage on cloud storage technologies as well and restore it with granularity level that I have not seen in any other data management tool.

There are a lot of good features. Here are some of them:

• Capacity-based licensing
• A very stable and scalable platform (you can backup/restore/protect a couple of MBs or hundred of TBs as well from the same console/platform).
• Relatively easy to use GUI
• You can protect/backup virtually any kind of data from virtually any corporate type application (in-house or commercial) from one management console.
• Has the highest backup/restore granularity that I have seen in any data management tool.
• An extremely fast search engine for restoring and securing data and is hardware agnostic so you do not depend on excessively expensive storage hardware.

Reduce the complexity for better understanding of the reports. There are a lot of variables in which you can get confused while elaborating on reports.

No.

No.

A 10 out of 10.

Yes, we used a different solution. We switched due to consolidation and cost effectiveness.

Straightforward.

Know which type of data you are going to backup/protect and select the most appropriate bundle for you.

Yes. TSM and NetBackup.

Try it. Think in functionality and solution rather than conventional big names believing that there is nothing better.

I am using Metallic for backing up Microsoft 365.

The solution has helped our business.

The most valuable feature of Metallic is its flexibility and user-friendly.

The integration of Metallic could improve. It would be a benefit if Metallic could integrate with multiple applications or platforms.

In the future, the solution could add more features to help end-users be efficient.

I have been using Metallic for a few weeks.

Metallic is a stable solution.

I have found the scalability of Metallic to be good.

I found the solution best suited for small businesses.

I found the implementation of Metallic to be simple, I come from a technical background.

I had some assistance from our local reseller for the implementation of the solution.

Metallic is an affordable solution.

I rate Metallic an eight out of ten.

I have not used the solution enough to give it a higher rating.

Commvault is easy to use, easy to deploy, and easy to update.

I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor. There is a lot of room for customization with Commvault, but we have not done that, so the reports do not work the best for us.

We have virtualization, but sometimes some virtual machines are not backed up.

For us, a system ransomware scenario would be a good solution. This would help us not be nervous about our backup solution if we experience a ransomware attack. 

We have been using Commvault for seven years, since 2014. 

Commvault is a very stable product. 

We are using VMware for virtualization every day. The issue with scalability that Commvault has is that any modifications in virtualization that we make have a direct impact on it.

We do not have a problem with scalability, but I think if we had to restore a large scale of information, it would be a problem because of the time we would have to spend restoring all of our virtual machines. However, we could backup as many as a 1,000 virtual machines very easily. 

Commvault's technical support is good. However, because I am French and not a native speaker, I have a hard time understanding tech support specialists that are from India.  

Before Commvault, we used a French solution. It had issues with backups and was very bad. We had to migrate before we encountered a bigger problem. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

Commvault helped us with the migration. A two-person team was involved in the deployment from our end, a system engineer and a hardware engineer. 

Commvault is too expensive. 

I would recommend this solution. It is a good solution for cloud backup.
