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

"It helped us reduce the number of servers that are required for a stable operation."

"It's a complete software that can protect all the main applications. Perhaps that's the feature I like most. The integration with the NetApp and other apps is also very nice."

"We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."

"This is a very stable product."

"The email archiving feature is very smooth and better than others."

"Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful."

"In the VM, we have Live Recovery, Live Mount, and Live Sync."

"The solution has enabled us to save on infrastructure costs by being able to manage what were disparate data management solutions in one place."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"The interesting part of the solution is that the customer does not have to invest in a second site to store their offsite backups."

"It's a stable solution."

"I like this solution and recommend it to clients."

"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."

"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."

"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."

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

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

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

Cons

"Commvault Cloud is a very powerful tool, but it can be improved in various ways."

"The solution requires constant attention. Commvault is very complex. We are constantly making adjustments and working through hotfixes, updates, and issues."

"It takes a lot of steps to implement backups. We have to do a lot of planning to make the solution work properly. It takes some time to create every policy. It's an easy task, but there are many steps. It's not as easy as using Veeam."

"There could be improvements to the backup failures."

"I really struggled to configure HyperScale X as there was a lack of detailed documentation."

"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."

"Commvault HyperScale X could improve by allowing backups of the storage area network (SAN)."

"They can improve the security level for Windows. When mapping to the Windows, Commvault can take full control over data volumes so that the attacker can't delete the volume data, but the Windows admin can access the volumes. It would be great to block access at that level."

More Commvault Cloud cons

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

"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 they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."

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

"The solution could improve the stability."

"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."

"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."

"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."

"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."

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 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."

"Everyone else offers the subscription-based model nowadays, while Commvault Complete Data Protection still has the traditional license model, where you must buy a set of licenses. You pay for one hundred licenses even if you only use fifty virtual machines, so the licensing model needs improvement."

"If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."

"The price could always be lower."

"The licensing costs are determined on a yearly basis. It might be around $40,000 or $50,000. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"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."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
