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 data is well-protected. It doesn't age off until it's copied. That's a big feature right there. When you reach the end of your retention, it does not expire until the secondary copy is completed. That allows you to hold onto data that otherwise would have aged off by retention. I like that feature. It's hard to just delete or lose data using the Commvault platform."

"Restoring is very fast. In testing, I did a restore for a single item from a mailbox. Within a minute, I had the message back in my mailbox. So, it didn't take hours or days. Obviously, there will be a limit. If we suddenly go into DR and have to restore five terabytes of emails for people, then it will take a couple of days, which would be acceptable. For general usage, where we have to do the odd restore, we have never had issues. It happens within minutes."

"Before Commvault we had one product for backup, one for replication, and a few consoles, and with Commvault it's just one product and one license that is easy to manage and has saved us about 30 percent in storage while enabling our company to accelerate growth."

"HyperScale X is really user-friendly and has a lot of features, and it's also cheaper, faster, and more stable than its competitors."

"Commvault's many features can be explored to get more value from more solutions."

"The global application provides a lot of storage for customers, with good security features for Google, videos, irregular encryption, and backups, and the solution includes the best compatibility metrics for integration managed by Google support."

"Commvault Cloud provides an excellent solution."

"The recovery features are useful. It is easy to recover data. If something happens, we can easily recover data. We have faced ransomware issues twice, and we recovered because of Commvault."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"It's a stable solution."

"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."

"For my needs, the solution offers everything I want."

"It's a great product because it's great scalability and it scales out from small to big companies perfectly."

"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."

"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 feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."

"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

Cons

"Commvault Complete Data Protection would benefit from improving their training resources."

"The backup of virtual machines needs improvement. I know they're working on it."

"We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign."

"The deployment process should be simplified because it is not something that just anybody can do."

"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."

"Our main pain point is that some of our hardware is old."

"They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays."

"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."

"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."

"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."

"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors."

"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."

"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."

"The dashboard could be more intuitive."

"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."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Commvault HyperScale X is paid annually."

"It is cheaper than Veeam."

"The tool is cost-effective."

"Originally, it was really attractive when we were deployed on-prem. They have since built and moved it to the cloud, which I am a big fan of. I have all my security tools in the cloud, but it came with a significant increase in pricing. We ended up negotiating a better price because we have been a long-term customer, and I have also spoken on their behalf quite a few times, but if I have to buy it at its current rate, I am not sure if I would be a customer. It is expensive."

"The price of Commvault HyperScale X is a lot higher than competitors. As a government institution, we have annual costs. We made a budget for one year in advance. It was difficult to calculate the other solution's costs because each solution has another way of licensing. The solution is expensive but it is very good and we know the good quality we will be receiving."

"There is a bit of cost involved with signing up the entire solution. It's not a cheap solution."

"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."

"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
