We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What I found most valuable in Commvault Complete Data Protection is its deduplication technique, mainly because the solution has the highest deduplication ratio, giving you higher storage capacity.""The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems.""It's easy to configure multiple jobs and media agent locations for each server. We do offsite backups for all of our servers, but we also do onsite hourly backups of them. That has benefited us several times when we had an incident and didn't want to roll back a server an entire day.""Complete Data Protection is convenient because you can manage various types of databases, and it's pretty easy to set it up.""The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage.""It helped us reduce the number of servers that are required for a stable operation.""The product is a reliable solution.""With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn."

"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks.""The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome.""What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably.""The most valuable feature of Unitrends for me is the automated feedback""The simple and fast restore routine.""Backup/archive to multiple locations.""They have great support.""I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."

Cons
"They can improve the VMware recovery and VMware backup. There is an improvement area on the VMware infrastructure. They can make available what they call a VSA proxy. They can have an appliance-type setup to deploy VSA backups and help recover quicker. They can have an appliance ready. Instead of having to have a server dedicated to that and installing software on a server, they can just provide an actual appliance for that.""The solution needs better Office 365 data backup management.""I would assess the Command Center as a very useful but sometimes difficult tool. It is multipurpose. It has all the features of logging and monitoring, especially for the actual setup. For us, it is easy because we work daily with it, but for customers who only use it once a week, they sometimes have some difficulties. Command Center is not user-friendly for beginners.""Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions.""The tool should revise its licensing.""The product is a bit complex.""The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions.""We get an alarm if a lot of files are deleted, for example. That could look like ransomware, even if it is not."

"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great.""The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs.""I would like to see more storage options for the free version.""Support is great for small simple issues, but anything more difficult, it is hard to get good resolutions without having to badger them and their management.""Network-based storage stability could be improved.""Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find.""There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable.""It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
  • "There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
  • "New licensing is easy and affordable."
  • "Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
  • "Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
  • "In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually."
  • "The price could perhaps be lower as well."
  • "Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers."
  • More Commvault Cloud Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Make sure you do the homework to size the solution properly. Buy the Enterprise Plus licensing if you can afford it."
  • "When you purchase initially, get into the program which gives replacement hardware for free when you renew your support agreement."
  • "Initial pricing is competitive. Renewal pricing is steep, so make sure to project costs for the lifetime of the appliance(s)."
  • "Talk with the sales guys. They can work with you on the best package."
  • "We found that the cost of Unitrends was about the same as the Dell DR6300. We liked the fact that the Unitrends appliance was all-in-one."
  • "The cost of Unitrends definitely draws you in. The licensing is all included in the appliance, which is a great incentive."
  • "Pricing model constantly changes."
  • "You should be aware how much the monthly costs are to use, what the initial costs for hardware are, and what the options to expand are, if needed."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The convenience of backing up and restoring simultaneously is very valuable.
    Top Answer:The tool is affordable. I rate the pricing a six out of ten. Implementation requires additional costs because we need Commvault Professional Services.
    Top Answer:Data center backup must be improved. We also want the product to provide us with a cloud-based backup. If we use Microsoft Exchange Online for email services, we want to know how to get a backup in… more »
    Top Answer:The most valuable feature of Unitrends for me is the automated feedback
    Top Answer:Unitrends is an expensive solution. We've negotiated deals where they've given us the $ 62,000 to $ 64,000 appliance for free but charged $ 90,000 for three years of support.
    Top Answer:In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses—I had to hover over to find that information. Figuring out the scripting part wasn't… more »
