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

"The granularity of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is very good. We've used all of it, recovering data from each of the four systems that we back up with it, and it works very well."
"The most valuable feature is Commvault's coverage, as it has wide coverage to back up every data center environment and can handle backing up any virtual workload or enterprise application while providing a single platform to move, manage, and recover data across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud locations."
"We have seen a high return of value, and management is also happy."
"This is a very stable product."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates."
"We evaluated other options, but Commvault is a very complete solution."
"There is no reason for me to rate them other than a 10 out of 10."
"Overall the solution is very good and highly stable."
"For my needs, the solution offers everything I want."
"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."
"Replication without network changes."
"It's a great product because it's great scalability and it scales out from small to big companies perfectly."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"Veeam Cloud Connect is used extensively, and there's a plan to increase its usage in the future."
"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."
"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."
 

Cons

"The product is a bit complex."
"They need to improve when it comes to large, video file archiving. They're good, but they have not met my expectations as a customer in this area."
"It would be nice to have just one email report come in, then we can filter out failures."
"Some of our customers say that Commvault is a very expensive solution, but Commvault has many features that the competitors don't have."
"The integration of Metallic could improve. It would be a benefit if Metallic could integrate with multiple applications or platforms."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
"It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement."
"They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I would rate the price of Commvault Cloud seven out of ten with ten being the cheapest."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"Commvault is quite high in terms of pricing and licensing."
"Using a subscription-based license has been advantageous."
"The license is paid on an annual basis and the price is reasonable."
"Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers."
"The price could always be lower."
"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 licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"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 pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
