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

"Among the best features are the BMR (Bare Metal Recovery), Live Sync, and IntelliSnap, which is used for snapshots of hypervisor storage. It's predefined so you only need to enable it and it works. I haven't seen anything like this in other backup tools like Veritas NetBackup or Dell EMC or TSM. We will use snapshotting for all our machines."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Commvault provides the status of a backup or restore operation."
"The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems."
"It is easy to use and stable; it delivers what has been promised, and when it says it can do something, it can actually do it, as opposed to some of its competitors."
"Commvault helps our administrators to minimize the time they spend on the backup tasks and that gives them time for other projects."
"Well documented SQL views and customizable reports, together with scripts and workflows provides ability to automate processes and ensure proper controls are in place."
"Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."
"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
"I like this solution and recommend it to clients."
"I've found flexibility to be the most valuable feature, and I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
"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."
"I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
"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."
 

Cons

"The price could be lower."
"This product is overly complex to operate and run."
"Mostly controls, visibility, cost allocation."
"Training."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"You need quite a lot of human resources to maintain a Commvault environment, to keep it operational."
"Commvault's price is quite high."
"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."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
"Commvault licensing is a perpetual license so only the support is being renewed yearly."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers."
"One of the issues with backup vendors is that they overprice, or overvalue their products."
"It is cheaper than NetBackup, but its price can be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"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."
"Using a subscription-based license has been advantageous."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"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."
