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

"Commvault is an all-in-one product that is very simple and operational for business use."
"The rate of duplication is great."
"It is a stable solution."
"We have VMware, Hyper-V, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL. We have a lot of different systems, and all of them are supported under one licensing agreement. That's one of the benefits."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
"Commvault's many features can be explored to get more value from more solutions."
"The solution has the fastest backup and better licensing."
"It's a stable solution."
"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
"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 stability and restore options on the solution are very good."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved."
"Sometimes the web page doesn't work. I don't know if it's an outage or if there is maintenance going on in the background. From time to time, Commvault will suddenly stop taking backups for some intervals."
"There is room for improvement in the Knowledge Base and error reporting. I would like to see best practices in the Knowledge Base, and have the ability to diagnose errors without contacting support."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
"Reduce the complexity for better understanding of the reports. There are a lot of variables in which you can get confused while elaborating on reports."
"We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The license is paid on an annual basis and the price is reasonable."
"I would rate the price of Commvault Cloud seven out of ten with ten being the cheapest."
"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."
"Metallic is an affordable solution."
"In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually."
"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"Commvault is quite high in terms of pricing and licensing."
"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."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"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."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"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."
