Featured Reviews

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

"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"The solution also provides me with a complete view of our data. I write scripts to report information from the Command Center daily. I report it in HTML and have the status of the last day for the whole environment."
"All workloads can be integrated with Commvault. If we use a new technology, Commvault integrates with it. Commvault is a data management solution with support for building the DR side of things. With Commvault we can rapidly back up and restore any application we add to our environment."
"We find the most valuable features in Commvault Cloud to be from the appliances perspective."
"Commvault's Command Center is one of the best solutions out there. You can rely on Commvault solutions for the most complex and most demanding environments."
"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."
"We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"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 quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
"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."
"I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."
 

Cons

"Training."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"The functional integration could be better."
"Its technical support could be better."
"Its competitor, Veeam, includes backup and replication in the same product. I don't know if Commvault has it or not, but they should if they don't."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"Reduce the complexity for better understanding of the reports. There are a lot of variables in which you can get confused while elaborating on reports."
"The main area for improvement is that we sometimes experience negative effects from their updates. If they had a larger test area for their updates, that would help."
"The solution could improve the stability."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
"It is not the cheapest solution. I think the pricing is fair for mid-side customers. It is between all the other options."
"The licensing costs are determined on a yearly basis. It might be around $40,000 or $50,000. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"New licensing is easy and affordable."
"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."
"Commvault licensing is a perpetual license so only the support is being renewed yearly."
"The product is cheap."
"It is cheaper than Veeam."
"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."
"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."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
