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.

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

"This solution gives me the full insight without having to use other products, metrics, or reporting tools."
"The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"It is a stable solution."
"Commvault is easy to deploy and easy to understand for any end-user or any new system."
"Commvault is unique in the backup and recovery category because if you are using Commvault as a backup, you don't need any additional software to have an archiving solution."
"People are going to be very impressed with that kind of support that they get from Commvault."
"Security measures, including encryption and threat detection, contribute significantly to data protection, safeguarding against unauthorized access and cyber threats."
"It's a stable solution."
"For my needs, the solution offers everything I want."
"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require and offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
"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 best part about this solution is that it just works."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
 

Cons

"I don't know much about the pricing and licensing, but I do know it is very expensive."
"For end-users, sometimes Commvault is too complex and, while it's getting better and better with the latest versions, it is still not there."
"It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement."
"Commvault Complete Data Protection would benefit from improving their training resources."
"It would be nice to have just one email report come in, then we can filter out failures. If everything is backed up, we really don't need to see the report. If it is in a single report. A simpler customised report would be good."
"It would be nice to have just one email report come in, then we can filter out failures."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"Commvault Cloud currently lacks support for backing up Proxmox environments, which limits its functionality."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"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."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is paid on an annual basis and the price is reasonable."
"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 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."
"The product is cheap."
"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."
"We work with Commvault and a partner on our environment needs according to capacity, licensing, pricing, components, modules, etc. Additional costs depend on your backup needs."
"Commvault is more expensive than Veeam, which is the reason that we are changing to Veeam for cloud environments."
"HyperScale X is expensive."
"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 licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
