Ankit Gagneja - PeerSpot reviewer

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

"Archiving and storage are very good."
"It's great for getting data back."
"It is a scalable solution."
"They have some really good features, they have really good engineering, and they have very good support."
"Commvault is easy to use, easy to deploy, and easy to update."
"Veeam is a good product but I prefer Commvault for backup and DR."
"This product has allowed us to recover data when we've had issues."
"The visualization backup is the most important aspect for us, providing snapshot protection, and the digital application and the compression of the disc at the storage site are great, making it one of the best features of this solution, with very helpful technical support."
"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."
"The interesting part of the solution is that the customer does not have to invest in a second site to store their offsite backups."
"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
"With Veeam, you get a useable copy when you restore a backup."
"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require and offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."
"I've found flexibility to be the most valuable feature, and I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
 

Cons

"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"Its major disadvantage is it's expensive."
"The back of virtual machines needs improvement. I know they're working on it. They're always doing new things but I think they still have a little bit more to do."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"This product is overly complex to operate and run."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The initial installation is straightforward and took approximately two days. However, the process could be more simple."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is."
"I think the pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"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."
"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could perhaps be lower as well."
"I would rate the price of Commvault Cloud seven out of ten with ten being the cheapest."
"The solution is bundled with hardware licensing. If I want to increase the hardware, I have to buy exactly the same because it's based on the core hardware license. We cannot tell discount because we have an NDA signed with Commvault because of my academic license. The solution is more expensive than NetBackup and Veeam but cheaper than Rubrik."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery is priced fairly, and its performance-to-cost ratio is also better than fair."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
"HyperScale X is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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 licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
