Unified data protection has simplified hybrid backups and has improved ransomware recovery speed
Commvault Cloud's best feature in terms of protection is that it provides data protection and accomplishes its job effectively. It offers a unified approach to backup across all environments, including on-premises, public cloud, and SaaS applications such as M365 and Salesforce. I also use it for virtual machines and databases. The unified protection approach helps my team manage different environments effectively. Before Commvault Cloud, I used a separate VM backup tool to protect the VMware environment. For database backup, I had to use the native tool or backup scripts. For the cloud part, I had to use the native AWS or Azure cloud tools. After moving to Commvault Cloud, a single policy or a set of backup policies is applied across virtual machines, databases, workloads, and cloud workloads. I can protect my environments, which reduces manual configuration errors. Regarding visibility, it provides one dashboard to manage and centralize monitoring of all workloads. It is very easy to track backup success or failure. I can see the SLA compliance and storage usage without needing to jump between tools to check or have visibility of it. Regarding the recovery experience, the recovery time has been reduced drastically by using Commvault Cloud. It has simplified cloud management and provides easier manageability to manage retention policies, encryption policies, and compliance rules. This helps reduce operational workloads. Commvault Cloud has impacted me very positively. It simplifies and unifies data protection across hybrid workloads. Instead of managing multiple backup tools for virtual machines, databases, and SaaS applications, I now have a single platform with consistent policies and centralized visibility. This has really reduced my operational complexity and improved backup reliability. Regarding the cyber resiliency posture, the immutable backups and ransomware recovery workflow give me greater confidence in recovering quicker from potential risks. Commvault Cloud has positively impacted me in several key areas: unified backup management across environments, reduced operational overhead, improved ransomware resiliency, faster recovery times, better visibility for compliance, and easier management of hybrid or cloud workloads.

Simple and flexible backup solution
I mainly use Cloud Connect as a cloud backup repository Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options. I've been using Cloud Connect for about four years. We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning, but these were fixed after…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Commvault has helped us to win some customers against our competitors because we have this solution and they don't have anything like it."
"We have multiple workloads, including SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, especially Sybase, as well as file systems, VMs, and Exchange mailboxes. Commvault provides very good support for them."
"The solution provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover data across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud locations, making it very effective."
"One valuable feature is unlimited backup. You can back up existing users and folders."
"Go for Commvault. It is a very strong, stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability it gives me to automate backups well and consistently, and to follow up on them as well. It also provides consistent recovery processes. Whenever we have needed to do a restore, it has worked quickly and efficiently."
"Overall, this is a good product and very capable."
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"I am happy with their support, they are fast, and their response is very good."
"Technical support is perfect, they are very helpful."
"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."
"I like this solution and recommend it to clients."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"It's a great product because it's great scalability and it scales out from small to big companies perfectly."
 

Cons

"The solution requires improvement with its connection and bandwidth."
"Adding new users who are non-technical can be a little challenging."
"I really struggled to configure HyperScale X as there was a lack of detailed documentation."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"Commvault Cloud is a very powerful tool, but it can be improved in various ways."
"In a price comparison, definitely Avamar is the winner."
"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."
"They need to integrate configuration screens or videos (free training courses, webinars, demos) so that engineers with little experience can fully exploit the features that are offered or managed within the license that was acquired, and thus have better quality and completely satisfactory experience."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is."
"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of an integrator license is moderate and its features cover most customers."
"It is quite expensive when compared to other applications in the market. Its license is completely based on workload capacity. If I buy a license for 100 terabytes, I can back up anything. I can back up any platform, technology, or application, which is an advantage. Previously, we had to buy an agent for a particular application, and the cost was different for each agent. Now, the cost is completely based on the storage capacity. The license for one terabyte can cost around $1,700 for backing up anything from your environment."
"The product is cheap."
"The pricing is fairly in line with the other products we've compared it with recently. We do spend more on it than we did in our Backup Exec days, but it's fairly competitive with some of the other best-in-class data protection platforms."
"New licensing is easy and affordable."
"It is not the cheapest solution. I think the pricing is fair for mid-side customers. It is between all the other options."
"Metallic is an affordable solution."
"It is a bit more than other products, but when you consider the time savings, it is saving money."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
