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

"Commvault is stable, we've never had problems with it, it's always available, and it's doing the job without any issues."
"The solution has provided our organization with a better security posture."
"The functionality and features of Commvault were much better compared to other solutions."
"The most helpful features of Commvault Cloud are its extensive capabilities, as they are in a position to take care of whatever use case presented to it."
"It's an enterprise product. It's a stable product. We have good support. Almost all databases are in the scope."
"This product has allowed us to recover data when we've had issues."
"It's great for getting data back."
"I've found flexibility to be the most valuable feature, and I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
"The solution is extremely stable; we haven't come across any bugs, crashes, or glitches."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"Veeam Cloud Connect is used extensively, and there's a plan to increase its usage in the future."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."

"It's a stable solution."
"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."
 

Cons

"I have written a lot of different reviews about the product and every time I have mentioned the user interface is not user-friendly, e.g., the admin portal is not user-friendly."
"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."
"Commvault's price is quite high."
"It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be."
"The tool should revise its licensing."
"Just to keep it running is time-consuming. There are five people on my team. Commvault was supposed to be one of the less time-consuming solutions, but in reality it takes 60 percent of our time just to keep it running, and that's not even fine-tuning it; that's just to keep it running."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"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."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price of Commvault Cloud seven out of ten with ten being the cheapest."
"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 now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is worth the money."
"Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
"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 pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"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."
"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 is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
