Ankit Gagneja - PeerSpot reviewer

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.

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

"Commvault allows us to use one product for almost everything; it's better than the competitors."
"Metallic helped me to restore the data within an hour, which is much faster than restoring from Microsoft services."
"We have seen a high return of value, and management is also happy."
"With Commvault, we provided trusted environment to our customer and increased our incomes with new customers."
"There is no reason for me to rate them other than a 10 out of 10."
"Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."
"One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore."
"Technical support is great."
"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."
"With Veeam, you get a useable copy when you restore a backup."
"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."
"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center."
"Replication without network changes."
"While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."
"I am happy with their support, they are fast, and their response is very good."
 

Cons

"They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays."
"Competitive products have emerged with less cost, making the pricing a challenging factor."
"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."
"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."
"This is not a very high standard product."
"It is quite expensive when compared to other applications in the market."
"What I need is deeper CLI documentation for both QCommand and SQL queries."
"You need quite a lot of human resources to maintain a Commvault environment, to keep it operational. Also, it would be nice to if there were an easier way set up some Commvault components."
"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 solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"The solution could improve the stability."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is quite expensive when compared to other applications in the market. Its license is completely based on workload capacity. If I buy a license for 100 terabytes, I can back up anything. I can back up any platform, technology, or application, which is an advantage. Previously, we had to buy an agent for a particular application, and the cost was different for each agent. Now, the cost is completely based on the storage capacity. The license for one terabyte can cost around $1,700 for backing up anything from your environment."
"The pricing has improved. It is simplified compared to the way that it was a few years ago. It is fairly straightforward and pretty easy to articulate to customers, which is handy."
"The solution is expensive. The subscription is based on a monthly basis. There are additional costs that vary depending on the size of the backup."
"It is a little too high. I would like to get more of a consumption model or more of a periodic true-up type of model that is more friendly to the ups and downs that you may have in your data instead of locking into multi-year agreements."
"We like that there is no extra cost for SharePoint, Teams, or OneDrive. It is all mimicking Microsoft's model. Every user has one terabyte of space. When users start using OneDrive, everybody has one terabyte that will be backed up included in the price."
"We have checked some other products, but we are not testing them because price-wise, Commvault is better than the other solutions."
"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 cost of an integrator license is moderate and its features cover most customers."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"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 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."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
