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

"It is a stable solution."
"Commvault allows us to centralize the administration of the data since it has a wide range of products that must support the different critical mission systems that must be protected to offer security."
"The Commvault Complete Data Protection interface is straightforward to use."
"We have evaluated three or four cloud-based backup solutions, but the other ones in the market didn't even come close to Commvault."
"In the VM, we have Live Recovery, Live Mount, and Live Sync."
"Commvault provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover data across our on-premises and cloud locations, which is something that is very important for us."
"Without Commvault, or with another solution based on Windows, I don't think the recovery would have been possible."
"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."
"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."
"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."
"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center."
"Replication without network changes."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"The solution is extremely stable; we haven't come across any bugs, crashes, or glitches."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
 

Cons

"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"Setup is complex."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
"Mostly controls, visibility, cost allocation."
"Our main pain point is that some of our hardware is old."
"It is quite expensive when compared to other applications in the market."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"The speed of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is adequate. Microsoft controls the amount of bandwidth that people have when they're using Azure and the O365 environment... If they could work out something with Microsoft to improve the speed, that would help."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"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."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"...the battle came down to pricing, as well as some small features, and Commvault was the best in all the criteria."
"Commvault is quite high in terms of pricing and licensing."
"Compared with other backup technologies, Commvault is a bit more costly, but we are satisfied with the support, the services, and the features that we get with Commvault."
"Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
"Commvault licensing is a perpetual license so only the support is being renewed yearly."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery is priced fairly, and its performance-to-cost ratio is also better than fair."
"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."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"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."
