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

"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"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."
"One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore."
"Their support is awesome."
"The most valuable feature of Metallic is its flexibility and user-friendly."
"The product is user-friendly."

"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"Technical support is perfect, they are very helpful."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."

"While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"It's a great product because it's great scalability and it scales out from small to big companies perfectly."

Cons

"Commvault's price is quite high."
"When we send a query to Commvault, they take a long time to answer our questions."
"It is supposed to be one of the least time-consuming solutions but in reality, it consumes 60% of their time."
"The solution must provide deception files across the network."
"Setup is complex."
"Endpoint backup."
"The navigation of it needs improvement in terms of the UX. The product itself, it works as expected. It's all user experience and user interface improvements that could be made and it could be made a little more consumer-friendly."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."

"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"I think the pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have checked some other products, but we are not testing them because price-wise, Commvault is better than the other solutions."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"Originally, it was really attractive when we were deployed on-prem. They have since built and moved it to the cloud, which I am a big fan of. I have all my security tools in the cloud, but it came with a significant increase in pricing. We ended up negotiating a better price because we have been a long-term customer, and I have also spoken on their behalf quite a few times, but if I have to buy it at its current rate, I am not sure if I would be a customer. It is expensive."
"There is a bit of cost involved with signing up the entire solution. It's not a cheap solution."
"One of the most interesting aspects is that the licensing model can be modified. We're paying for our licensing by the client, as opposed to the size of the footprint of the backup, which decreased our cost by about 20 percent."
"The product is cheap."
"The price is a little bit high."
"The price could perhaps be lower as well."
"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 pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"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."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"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 fee is on a monthly basis."
