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 most valuable feature is the ability it gives me to automate backups well and consistently, and to follow up on them as well."
"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
"The solution is easy to use and the duplication is quite good."
"IntelliSnap for snapshot collection is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to back up large amounts of data."
"We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We have multiple workloads, including SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, especially Sybase, as well as file systems, VMs, and Exchange mailboxes. Commvault provides very good support for them."
"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."
"It's a stable solution."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is still one of the most cost-effective backup solutions on the market and offers very good value for money."
"The solution is extremely stable; we haven't come across any bugs, crashes, or glitches."
"I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
"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."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
 

Cons

"It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement. Commvault could increase the training it provides to customers and partners."
"Permissions can be tricky. There is granularity when trying to get people to write permissions to be able to view, backup, and restore."
"The local support could be improved."
"I would like more communication informing us on what Commvault is doing in the background."
"I don't know much about the pricing and licensing, but I do know it is very expensive."
"Sometimes there are people, personnel, that are not that well educated. Sometimes I know more than the person I'm talking to and they are supposed to be helping me with technical problems."
"The pricing could be more flexible in terms of licensing."
"This product is overly complex to operate and run."
"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 Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."
"The license for Commvault HyperScale X is paid annually."
"It was not very popular because of its previous cost, but they have been working on the pricing, and now anyone can afford to use Commvault. They changed the modeling criteria for their pricing. Previously, there was only the capacity modeling based on your content capacity. In this case, they would give you a license and you would have to pay it. Now, most of the environment is virtualized so you can have the best CPU, VMs, etc. You buy whatever you need and pay for what you need."
"The license is paid on an annual basis and the price is reasonable."
"If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is far better than we had in the past. The license for Dell EMC was not too expensive, but the storage, given that Dell EMC is based on data domains, was pretty expensive."
"I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"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 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."
