Sanjay Singh Bisht - PeerSpot reviewer
Server Administrator at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
Unified data protection has simplified hybrid backups and has improved ransomware recovery speed
Commvault Cloud's best feature in terms of protection is that it provides data protection and accomplishes its job effectively. It offers a unified approach to backup across all environments, including on-premises, public cloud, and SaaS applications such as M365 and Salesforce. I also use it for virtual machines and databases. The unified protection approach helps my team manage different environments effectively. Before Commvault Cloud, I used a separate VM backup tool to protect the VMware environment. For database backup, I had to use the native tool or backup scripts. For the cloud part, I had to use the native AWS or Azure cloud tools. After moving to Commvault Cloud, a single policy or a set of backup policies is applied across virtual machines, databases, workloads, and cloud workloads. I can protect my environments, which reduces manual configuration errors. Regarding visibility, it provides one dashboard to manage and centralize monitoring of all workloads. It is very easy to track backup success or failure. I can see the SLA compliance and storage usage without needing to jump between tools to check or have visibility of it. Regarding the recovery experience, the recovery time has been reduced drastically by using Commvault Cloud. It has simplified cloud management and provides easier manageability to manage retention policies, encryption policies, and compliance rules. This helps reduce operational workloads. Commvault Cloud has impacted me very positively. It simplifies and unifies data protection across hybrid workloads. Instead of managing multiple backup tools for virtual machines, databases, and SaaS applications, I now have a single platform with consistent policies and centralized visibility. This has really reduced my operational complexity and improved backup reliability. Regarding the cyber resiliency posture, the immutable backups and ransomware recovery workflow give me greater confidence in recovering quicker from potential risks. Commvault Cloud has positively impacted me in several key areas: unified backup management across environments, reduced operational overhead, improved ransomware resiliency, faster recovery times, better visibility for compliance, and easier management of hybrid or cloud workloads.

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

"From a real-life experience, I can say it cut down the time our customers spent on backup tasks by about 60 percent."
"They have some really good features, they have really good engineering, and they have very good support."
"We can rely on Commvault for the data. 100%, you will get your data back."
"The Commvault Complete Data Protection interface is straightforward to use."
"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."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"This solution gives me the full insight without having to use other products, metrics, or reporting tools."
"Their support is awesome."
"The deployment is quite simple. Users are generally happy because of the familiarity they have with the features. The solution offers good transparency for the end-user."
"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
"With Veeam, you get a useable copy when you restore a backup."
"I've found flexibility to be the most valuable feature, and I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
"Veeam Cloud Connect is used extensively, and there's a plan to increase its usage in the future."
"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
 

Cons

"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"Getting my guys the right access has a learning curve. Sometimes, it is, "Oh, okay. I think I got it for you." Then, they say, "Oh, nope. I logged in but I can't see this." Then, it is, "Okay, hold on. Give me a second. Let me change that. Okay, it's this one." That learning curve has probably taken a little bit longer than some simpler things. So, Metallic has some granularity, and as a systems administrator, I appreciate that. At the same time, I also realize that I have to learn it."
"We are using a production environment with customer-sensitive data on it. As per our central bank rules and regulations, we can't keep our customer's sensitive data in the cloud."
"The Java interface is not great."
"The initial installation is straightforward and took approximately two days. However, the process could be more simple."
"It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be."
"Some of our customers say that Commvault is a very expensive solution, but Commvault has many features that the competitors don't have."
"I don't know much about the pricing and licensing, but I do know it is very expensive."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is bundled with hardware licensing. If I want to increase the hardware, I have to buy exactly the same because it's based on the core hardware license. We cannot tell discount because we have an NDA signed with Commvault because of my academic license. The solution is more expensive than NetBackup and Veeam but cheaper than Rubrik."
"Metallic is an affordable solution."
"The license is paid on an annual basis and the price is reasonable."
"Our yearly cost is around €20,000... The cost is based on the number of users and the amount of data. They sell it per terabyte."
"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."
"Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
"The product is very competitive for pricing in some countries because it is possible to set up Commvault hardware with other vendors using its certification."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"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."
