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 product is user-friendly."
"Commvault allows us to centralize the administration of the data since it has a wide range of products that must support the different critical mission systems that must be protected to offer security."
"The most valuable feature is Commvault's coverage. It has wide coverage to back up every data center environment. The product can back up OpenStack, OpenShift, and competitive solutions don't have this feature. Commvault can handle backing up any virtual workload or enterprise application."
"It's an enterprise product. It's a stable product. We have good support. Almost all databases are in the scope."
"We prefer Commvault because they are backup agents who have a vision about what we can do with applicable backup solutions."
"Commvault allows us to use one product for almost everything; it's better than the competitors."
"Commvault Cloud stands out for its ease of use and reliable backups, along with its ability to handle large data volumes for VMs, servers, and applications."
"Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
"The interesting part of the solution is that the customer does not have to invest in a second site to store their offsite backups."
"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."
"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."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is still one of the most cost-effective backup solutions on the market and offers very good value for money."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"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

"It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be."
"It is quite expensive when compared to other applications in the market."
"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."
"Commvault tries to integrate with every new product that's coming out on the market. Sometimes it makes everyone's life easier if it works well. If not, we don't know where the error is coming from, and it has a lot of bugs."
"This product is overly complex to operate and run."
"They should move the CommServe outside of Windows machines and the database should be distributed among servers."
"The backup of virtual machines needs improvement. I know they're working on it."
"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."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"The solution could improve the stability."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Commvault's pricing model and pricing structure were initially confusing, but once we worked more closely with the company, we were able to transition to a subscription license that saved us a lot of money."
"I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"The cost for Commvault is very expensive, even support is very expensive. The full cost of the solution is 50,000 INR per year, which includes 20 VM backups, server data backup, and 200 desktop and laptop agent licenses."
"We went from Veritas NetBackup to Commvault. We switched due to upfront licensing and costs. We have more visibility into what we're actually purchasing. It seemed like, overall, the cost of Commvault was cheaper."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"I looked at this at the beginning of the year and I don't remember what the prices were for all the other services, but I thought that Metallic's was fair. It was also highly rated, which was even more important than cost because I need a reliable, secure, backup method."
"The cost of an integrator license is moderate and its features cover most customers."
"The license is paid on an annual basis and the price is reasonable."
"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."
"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 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."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
