Ankit Gagneja - PeerSpot reviewer

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.

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's Command Center is one of the best solutions out there, and you can rely on Commvault solutions for the most complex and most demanding environments."
"Commvault is my number one for ability to easily manage very complex environments with very little administrative effort."
"All the management is centralized from that CommServe server. You can manage all the clients and all the infrastructure using one interface and one server... Using the Commvault interface, you can customize and generate multiple reports to easily see what is protected and what is not protected in the environment."
"We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"Commvault just doesn't have any weaknesses in their product lineup, so it is the ability to do everything that really sets Commvault apart."
"Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."
"Commvault is unique in the backup and recovery category because if you are using Commvault as a backup, you don't need any additional software to have an archiving solution."
"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
"Generally speaking about Veeam, as a vendor, from a technical support perspective, I've really enjoyed the fact that they have a really high response rate."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products, and we've found this to be a valuable feature."
"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."
 

Cons

"I just wanted to compare the features, which are there in EMC NetWorker, which are not available in Commvault. We have things using Networker."
"The HTML interface is a remarkable improvement. However, there are still some features that are not available in that interface that are available in the Java console, but I'm sure that will come with time."
"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."
"The solution can be a bit complex for new users. The solution needs better Office 365 data backup management."
"The product is a bit complex."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"There is room for improvement in the data center application running on the cloud for the platform."
"The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Using a subscription-based license has been advantageous."
"If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
"Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
"Commvault's pricing model and pricing structure were initially confusing, but once we worked more closely with the company, we were able to transition to a subscription license that saved us a lot of money."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"Metallic is an affordable solution."
"We work with Commvault and a partner on our environment needs according to capacity, licensing, pricing, components, modules, etc. Additional costs depend on your backup needs."
"The price could perhaps be lower as well."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"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."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
