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

"From a real-life experience, I can say it cut down the time our customers spent on backup tasks by about 60 percent."
"People are going to be very impressed with that kind of support that they get from Commvault."
"It's very easy to set up the storage across all platforms. This allows us to be dynamic and change on-the-fly."
"Backup and archive with a single window, with a single backup job. You only need to type "c"."
"Commvault provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover our data across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud locations, and we completely depend on it for managing our data, from backup to restore to replication."
"It runs all the tests and emails us the reports. We take daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots, and I integrate the storage snapshot scripts with the Commvault workflow. The Commvault workflow runs all the scripts and sends us the reports. It also features cloud-side reports and workflows. Commvault has many tools for backing up, restoring, and archiving things, but we use another service for our archives."
"There are many valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X giving many possibilities to complete jobs."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products, and we've found this to be a valuable feature."
"It's a great product because it's great scalability and it scales out from small to big companies perfectly."
"I am happy with their support, they are fast, and their response is very good."
"Replication without network changes."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
 

Cons

"I would like them to keep working on the new web interface to migrate out of the old interface because the old interface is a bit complex. It was driving customers away because of the complexity. If they migrate everything (100 percent of the features), this would make the product be perfect."
"The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines."
"The retention log feature could be an issue for us and can be improved."
"This solution can be complex and difficult to administer because it supports all of the many platforms, so it would help if they could simplify it."
"The price could be lower."
"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."
"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."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is very competitive for pricing in some countries because it is possible to set up Commvault hardware with other vendors using its certification."
"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."
"Our yearly cost is around €20,000... The cost is based on the number of users and the amount of data. They sell it per terabyte."
"I would rate the price of Commvault Cloud seven out of ten with ten being the cheapest."
"In India, this is a very expensive product."
"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."
"It is cheaper than Veeam."
"The solution is licensed based on the number of objects that we're going to back up, and that's a known quantity. As a result, we get predictable costs for our backup requirements."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"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."
