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

"Overall it has great features that fulfill our customers' expectations."
"This product has allowed us to recover data when we've had issues."
"Commvault has helped us to win some customers against our competitors because we have this solution and they don't have anything like it."
"We evaluated other options, but Commvault is a very complete solution."
"Commvault makes it easier to back up new additions to our environment."
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"Commvault provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover data."
"I like this solution and recommend it to clients."
"It's a stable solution."
"I've found flexibility to be the most valuable feature, and I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
"I am happy with their support, they are fast, and their response is very good."
"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 best part about this solution is that it just works."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is still one of the most cost-effective backup solutions on the market and offers very good value for money."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
 

Cons

"Commvault has two management dashboards. The first is the CommCell Console, which is Java-based, and the second is Command Center. We don't always find all the features we need in the Command Center and we need to go through the Java console, and sometimes features are only on the Java console."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"Tape backups can be unreliable, restores are slow and they are expensive to manage."
"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."
"I would like more communication informing us on what Commvault is doing in the background."
"The product is expensive."
"The technical support in the India region is a bit disappointing, but after 6:00 pm it is switched to the U.S and European teams, and they are much better in supporting and understanding the issues and fixing them."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"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."
"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."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
"I think the pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost is reasonable, but anybody else can do better benchmarking."
"...the battle came down to pricing, as well as some small features, and Commvault was the best in all the criteria."
"The complete license gives us options for all the features. Commvault does not license based on storage or the management components. It can integrate with any storage vendor. That means that when we are out of storage and need more, we can integrate without additional licensing. In my opinion, Commvault needs to reduce the licensing cost by 20 to 40 percent to make it cost-efficient."
"It is not the cheapest solution. I think the pricing is fair for mid-side customers. It is between all the other options."
"Some of our customers say that Commvault is a very expensive solution, but Commvault has many features that the competitors don't have. It is not a good choice for a small or medium business, but it is a good choice for enterprise businesses."
"The price is a little bit high."
"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."
"The price is not cheap, but when you compare it to the other products they are all almost the same level in terms of price."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
