Ankit Gagneja - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud Solution Architect at Tata Consultancy
Hybrid backup strategy has improved recovery orchestration and now supports flexible DR planning
I think improvements could be made in Commvault Cloud. Lately what I have seen is that there are AI capabilities that different data protection organizations are coming up with, which basically revolves around tiering of not frequently accessible data to glacier kind of storage, plus bringing in a high level of compression and deduplication capabilities. All those features I believe are there in other customers and they are bringing in new use cases from the AI perspective which I have not recently seen in Commvault. I have seen that Dell does have such features. We recently pitched a solution to the customers where we talked about data tiering and the other AI use cases, identifying the data by itself and autonomously taking decisions on how to tier the data between the different storage classes that we have. Those kind of capabilities that we have proposed to the customer as far as the partner solutions are concerned. I would like to see AI capabilities in Commvault Cloud. The rest of the features pretty much align with the other enterprise solutions that we have in the market. It is just the AI capability that is being asked by the customers as well as that I see missing with Commvault.

Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable
The initial setup is very straightforward. It is easy. There are no great difficulties when setting up the solution. Even the configuration is simple. The deployment itself takes only a couple of days. It only takes one person to install it. You do not need a big team. We had an engineer manage it. The product does not require any maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Commvault can do everything for every operating system and application, whether it is cloud-based, like Office 365, or not, it is possible with Commvault."
"The solution is scalable."
"Commvault is also a very reliable backup solution; this is one of our main use cases."
"There's no impact on the endpoint. It runs in the background and it's something that you install and then forget about."
"We have evaluated three or four cloud-based backup solutions, but the other ones in the market didn't even come close to Commvault."
"Single pane of management policy driven backup."
"Commvault makes it easier to back up new additions to our environment."
"The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems."
"While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."
"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require and offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"Veeam Cloud Connect is used extensively, and there's a plan to increase its usage in the future."
"Technical support is perfect, they are very helpful."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
"The interesting part of the solution is that the customer does not have to invest in a second site to store their offsite backups."
"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."
 

Cons

"In a price comparison, definitely Avamar is the winner."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory."
"One issue we face is the complexity of the console. That could be improved on."
"What I need is deeper CLI documentation for both QCommand and SQL queries."
"The product is a bit complex."
"For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments."
"Support for this product needs to be improved because I have seen a couple of cases where it is taking more than the required time to solve issues."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cost-effective."
"The product is cheap."
"Commvault's license fee is per server-based."
"Based on the customer's needs, their pricing and model is very confusing sometimes. You need to check with their sales to make sure you are getting the right pricing on whatever you are using. I know that they have simplified a lot regarding the licensing model nowadays, but it is good to always double check and make sure it has everything that you really need."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"In India, this is a very expensive product."
"There is a bit of cost involved with signing up the entire solution. It's not a cheap solution."
"The price could always be lower."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
