Sanjay Singh Bisht - PeerSpot reviewer
Assistant Manager at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
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.

User-friendly interface, and reasonably priced but the support needs improvement
While the solution is generally satisfactory, we encountered difficulties when attempting to seek assistance for issues we faced. Getting the necessary help proved to be quite challenging. The after-sales service is not ideal for French-speaking customers like us in Quebec. Unfortunately, there is no local support available for us. We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Compared to other solutions, using Commvault saves our customers around 15 to 20 percent."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Cloud include deduplication and compression."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"Metallic's customer service — their technical support and their sales and customer contact representatives — were world-class; among the best customer service interactions I've had with anyone, anywhere, for any reason."
"Overall the solution is very good and highly stable."
"The recovery features are useful. It is easy to recover data. If something happens, we can easily recover data. We have faced ransomware issues twice, and we recovered because of Commvault."
"The SaaS offering is the most valuable feature because it provides endpoint, Office 365, and core server backup."
"Commvault helps our administrators to minimize the time they spend on the backup tasks and that gives them time for other projects."
"For my needs, the solution offers everything I want."
"Replication without network changes."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."
"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."
"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."
"It's a stable solution."
"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
 

Cons

"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."
"The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory."
"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"I need documentation for Azure backups."
"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 product's migration process and stability need improvement."
"The pricing could be more flexible in terms of licensing."
"The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me."
"The solution could improve the stability."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a bit more than other products, but when you consider the time savings, it is saving money."
"There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
"The license is paid on an annual basis and the price is reasonable."
"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."
"Using a subscription-based license has been advantageous."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"New licensing is easy and affordable."
"The price could perhaps be lower as well."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"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."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
