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 easy to use, easy to deploy, and easy to update."

"It is easy to use and stable. It delivers what has been promised. When it says it can do something, it can actually do it, as opposed to some of its competitors."

"Complete Data Protection is convenient because you can manage various types of databases, and it's pretty easy to set it up."

"The product is a reliable solution."

"It's great for getting data back."

"After deploying the Commvault solution, we are saving four to five hours a week."

"One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore."

"Commvault has helped us to win some customers against our competitors because we have this solution and they don't have anything like it."

More Commvault Cloud pros

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

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

"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."

"Replication without network changes."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."

"I am happy with their support, they are fast, and their response is very good."

"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."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

Cons

"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."

"I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly."

"They could work on the implementation of the features."

"The navigation of it needs improvement in terms of the UX. The product itself, it works as expected. It's all user experience and user interface improvements that could be made and it could be made a little more consumer-friendly."

"Its competitor, Veeam, includes backup and replication in the same product. I don't know if Commvault has it or not, but they should if they don't."

"The retention log feature could be an issue for us and can be improved. The backup schedule can also be better in terms of how you set it up."

"For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups."

"With so many features, sometimes you cannot find what you are looking for in the interface and you have to dig into books online to find out how to solve an issue."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"The security of encrypted data could be better."

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."

"I think the pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."

"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."

"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."

"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."

"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Metallic is an affordable solution."

"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."

"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 license is paid on an annual basis and the price is reasonable."

"...the battle came down to pricing, as well as some small features, and Commvault was the best in all the criteria."

"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."

"Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."

"The complete license gives us options for all the features. Commvault does not license based on storage or the management components. It can integrate with any storage vendor. That means that when we are out of storage and need more, we can integrate without additional licensing. In my opinion, Commvault needs to reduce the licensing cost by 20 to 40 percent to make it cost-efficient."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"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."

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