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.

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

"Quick backups and restores of data are the most valuable features. It is important that it is an easy solution to integrate with the SAML authentication of our tenant, so we can have our users log into the systems and do their own restores, if needed."
"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."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"I can leverage on cloud storage technologies as well and restore it with granularity level that I have not seen in any other data management tool."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"It's very user-friendly. It supports a wide range of workloads. It's quite easy to use, it's very powerful and it's scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Commvault HyperScale X is the automatic nature of its operation. We don't need to worry about sets of documents. It worked automatically, we don't need to think about it. When you set the solution up in a good way, you don't need to worry."
"The most valuable feature is the ability it gives me to automate backups well and consistently, and to follow up on them as well."
"For my needs, the solution offers everything I want."
"Technical support is perfect, they are very helpful."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
 

Cons

"The solution needs better Office 365 data backup management."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"Its major disadvantage is it's expensive."
"In a price comparison, definitely Avamar is the winner."
"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release."
"This product is overly complex to operate and run."
"It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be."
"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Commvault Backup & Recovery is priced fairly, and its performance-to-cost ratio is also better than fair."
"The price is a little bit high."
"The pricing has improved. It is simplified compared to the way that it was a few years ago. It is fairly straightforward and pretty easy to articulate to customers, which is handy."
"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."
"Based on the customer's needs, their pricing and model is very confusing sometimes. You need to check with their sales to make sure you are getting the right pricing on whatever you are using. I know that they have simplified a lot regarding the licensing model nowadays, but it is good to always double check and make sure it has everything that you really need."
"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 quite expensive when compared to other applications in the market. Its license is completely based on workload capacity. If I buy a license for 100 terabytes, I can back up anything. I can back up any platform, technology, or application, which is an advantage. Previously, we had to buy an agent for a particular application, and the cost was different for each agent. Now, the cost is completely based on the storage capacity. The license for one terabyte can cost around $1,700 for backing up anything from your environment."
"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 think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"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 could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
