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 solution includes the best compatibility metrics for integration and they are managed by Google support."
"The features I find most helpful in Commvault are its ability to perform incremental backups and significantly reduce backup times for our diverse multi-architecture, multi-environment environment."
"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."
"It is easy to use and stable. It delivers what has been promised. When it says it can do something, it can actually do it, as opposed to some of its competitors."
"The solution is easy to use and the duplication is quite good."
"The user interface is very easy to navigate."
"One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore."
"The Command Center is provided from the web interface. You can back up the data for everybody, but also you can give everybody the ability to view and restore their data. For example, if a laptop, machine, or environment is owned by X, then X can look in and see the environment and data that he has backed up. He can see everything that he owns and can manage the environment as he wishes. It gives him an excellent view of his environment and infrastructure. Also, if you are a service provider, you can back up data for multiple companies and give everyone an interface for their environment to manage, backup, and restore data. Commvault has done excellent work in this area."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"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 most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."
"Replication without network changes."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
"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."
 

Cons

"The Java interface is not great. The Command Center interface is far better and it looks nicer, but it doesn't have all the powerful features available in the CommServe/Java console. The place to improve the product is on the management interface level."
"When you deploy Complete Data Protection for past services, it's more complicated because you cannot directly back up from the previous service host. We have to build a proxy server, like a middleware, to directly access the past database server. It's complex and hard for beginners to figure out."
"They can always improve the interface design to make it easier. Sometimes, you need to click two or three times to do something. They should look at what tabs are used most and make them more accessible, to cut the time it takes to get to that information."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
"The user creation and management capabilities could be improved."
"The only problem is that some of what we snap most of is the VMs. We found about 10% of the VMs that we can't snap because they're too interactive. It actually causes the application to crash."
"It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement. Commvault could increase the training it provides to customers and partners."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is paid on an annual basis and the price is reasonable."
"In India, this is a very expensive product."
"Using a subscription-based license has been advantageous."
"The price is a little bit high."
"It is a bit more than other products, but when you consider the time savings, it is saving money."
"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."
"The product is cheap."
"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."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
