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

"Veeam is a good product but I prefer Commvault for backup and DR."
"Single pane of management policy driven backup."
"Commvault provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover data across our on-premises and cloud locations, which is something that is very important for us."
"It's an enterprise product. It's a stable product. We have good support. Almost all databases are in the scope."
"After deploying the Commvault solution, we are saving four to five hours a week."
"We prefer Commvault because they are backup agents who have a vision about what we can do with applicable backup solutions."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"Compared to other solutions, using Commvault saves our customers around 15 to 20 percent."
"Generally speaking about Veeam, as a vendor, from a technical support perspective, I've really enjoyed the fact that they have a really high response rate."
"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 like this solution and recommend it to clients."
"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."
"Veeam Cloud Connect is used extensively, and there's a plan to increase its usage in the future."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
"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."
"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
 

Cons

"The stability of the tool could be improved."
"If I were to ask them to work on something, it would be the fidelity of the alerts that occur. They should tell me if it is a real event or not. It is easy for it to identify that something hit it but give me more information. They can build AI into the engine so that I get better output from an alert to tell me if I should really be interested in that or not."
"I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly."
"The tool should revise its licensing."
"Our main pain point is that some of our hardware is old. For example, the SSD disks for our application database are slow. It's hard to avoid a slowdown in our environment because the size of our backups is growing every year. If you're growing and don't upgrade the environment, you will see slower backups and restores. You must enhance the environment if you are growing."
"I don't know much about the pricing and licensing, but I do know it is very expensive."
"I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors."
"I also think the cost factor is a major issue for Veeam because it's a very expensive soluton especially when the client wants support for VMware."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"You have to pay for the licenses and the hardware you need for the Commvault environment. If you don't have all the hardware, you have to buy it, which can cost a few million. In the end, it's vital to protect our data, so the price isn't an issue."
"Its cost is reasonable, but anybody else can do better benchmarking."
"The pricing is fairly in line with the other products we've compared it with recently. We do spend more on it than we did in our Backup Exec days, but it's fairly competitive with some of the other best-in-class data protection platforms."
"We have checked some other products, but we are not testing them because price-wise, Commvault is better than the other solutions."
"Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
"The price could always be lower."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"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 licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"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."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
