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

"What I found most valuable in Commvault Complete Data Protection is its deduplication technique, mainly because the solution has the highest deduplication ratio, giving you higher storage capacity."
"It's very easy to set up the storage across all platforms. This allows us to be dynamic and change on-the-fly."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's great for getting data back."
"Commvault has a unique administration platform and interfaces, providing backup, archive, reporting and replication features, and has more features than its competitors."
"Compared to other products out there, we have found that Commvault is best suited for our needs."
"This product has allowed us to recover data when we've had issues."
"Commvault is easy to deploy and easy to understand for any end-user or any new system."
"It's a great product because it's great scalability and it scales out from small to big companies perfectly."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
"Technical support is perfect, they are very helpful."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"The interesting part of the solution is that the customer does not have to invest in a second site to store their offsite backups."
"It's a stable solution."
"I like this solution and recommend it to clients."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
 

Cons

"The product is a bit complex."
"Command Center definitely gives us a complete view of our data. But finding some of the granular, very small items that we sometimes have to find, such as auxiliary copies for tapes, I still find that it's easier to navigate and, sometimes, only possible to find them using the CommCell tool."
"The retention log feature could be an issue for us and can be improved."
"The deployment process should be simplified because it is not something that just anybody can do."
"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."
"I would rate the customer support five out of ten. Customer support has very closed departments, requiring us to shuffle between them to get one thing done because representatives have limited accessibility."
"I would assess the Command Center as a very useful but sometimes difficult tool. It is multipurpose. It has all the features of logging and monitoring, especially for the actual setup. For us, it is easy because we work daily with it, but for customers who only use it once a week, they sometimes have some difficulties. Command Center is not user-friendly for beginners."
"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."
"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"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."
"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."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price of Commvault Cloud seven out of ten with ten being the cheapest."
"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."
"Some of our customers say that Commvault is a very expensive solution, but Commvault has many features that the competitors don't have. It is not a good choice for a small or medium business, but it is a good choice for enterprise businesses."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"Metallic is an affordable solution."
"The solution is expensive. However, there are no additional costs involved. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"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."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
