Unified data protection has simplified hybrid backups and has improved ransomware recovery speed
Commvault Cloud's best feature in terms of protection is that it provides data protection and accomplishes its job effectively. It offers a unified approach to backup across all environments, including on-premises, public cloud, and SaaS applications such as M365 and Salesforce. I also use it for virtual machines and databases. The unified protection approach helps my team manage different environments effectively. Before Commvault Cloud, I used a separate VM backup tool to protect the VMware environment. For database backup, I had to use the native tool or backup scripts. For the cloud part, I had to use the native AWS or Azure cloud tools. After moving to Commvault Cloud, a single policy or a set of backup policies is applied across virtual machines, databases, workloads, and cloud workloads. I can protect my environments, which reduces manual configuration errors. Regarding visibility, it provides one dashboard to manage and centralize monitoring of all workloads. It is very easy to track backup success or failure. I can see the SLA compliance and storage usage without needing to jump between tools to check or have visibility of it. Regarding the recovery experience, the recovery time has been reduced drastically by using Commvault Cloud. It has simplified cloud management and provides easier manageability to manage retention policies, encryption policies, and compliance rules. This helps reduce operational workloads. Commvault Cloud has impacted me very positively. It simplifies and unifies data protection across hybrid workloads. Instead of managing multiple backup tools for virtual machines, databases, and SaaS applications, I now have a single platform with consistent policies and centralized visibility. This has really reduced my operational complexity and improved backup reliability. Regarding the cyber resiliency posture, the immutable backups and ransomware recovery workflow give me greater confidence in recovering quicker from potential risks. Commvault Cloud has positively impacted me in several key areas: unified backup management across environments, reduced operational overhead, improved ransomware resiliency, faster recovery times, better visibility for compliance, and easier management of hybrid or cloud workloads.

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 solution has the fastest backup and better licensing."
"Commvault makes it easier to back up new additions to our environment."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is scalable."
"Over the years, it has actually become cheaper, due to the fact that I've become smarter about how to use it better."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"What I find valuable is restoring the complete server. Restoring files is also valuable, but I like restoring the server because you don't have to rebuild a new one."
"The product is a reliable solution."
"I like this solution and recommend it to clients."
"For my needs, the solution offers everything I want."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"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."
"Generally speaking about Veeam, as a vendor, from a technical support perspective, I've really enjoyed the fact that they have a really high response rate."
"The solution is extremely stable; we haven't come across any bugs, crashes, or glitches."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is still one of the most cost-effective backup solutions on the market and offers very good value for money."
 

Cons

"Its technical support could be better."
"It would be a bit unfair to say that it's complex, due to the fact that it supports so many different workloads, however, if there's anything that is a bit of a shortcoming, then it's the fact that there's a bit of complexity involved when dealing with the product."
"Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage."
"The deployment process should be simplified because it is not something that just anybody can do."
"The navigation of it needs improvement in terms of the UX."
"They can improve the security level for Windows."
"Commvault Cloud currently lacks support for backing up Proxmox environments, which limits its functionality."
"I would like to have a manager-level dashboard to review the backups. This is not from an administrative perspective where you can see the details of the execution. Rather, it would only show the percentage of completeness for each one."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"The solution could improve the stability."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fairly in line with the other products we've compared it with recently. We do spend more on it than we did in our Backup Exec days, but it's fairly competitive with some of the other best-in-class data protection platforms."
"Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"The solution is expensive, but it is worth the money."
"Hands down, Metallic provides us with more predictable costs for our backup requirements. You are getting what you pay for. If they are charging you X amount of dollars at that point, that is what you are going to pay. So far, I have not seen any hidden costs or any kind of gotchas. It is pretty cut-and-dry. They will let you know, "Hey, you are going to use our storage and it will cost you this much. You are going to use your storage, then we are going to charge you this much to backup.""
"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."
"HyperScale X is expensive."
"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"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."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"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 licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
