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

"The 1-Touch recovery feature is helpful for all customers."
"It's very stable."
"Go for Commvault. It is a very strong, stable solution."
"Commvault can support any workload that you have in your environment."
"Veeam is a good product but I prefer Commvault for backup and DR."
"The beauty of this solution is that it includes two disk libraries therefore backing up to tape will often not be required, unless very long term retention is needed and even then it is likely to be very infrequent."
"From a real-life experience, I can say it cut down the time our customers spent on backup tasks by about 60 percent."
"After deploying the Commvault solution, we are saving four to five hours a week."
"With Veeam, you get a useable copy when you restore a backup."
"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."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products, and we've found this to be a valuable feature."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"I am happy with their support, they are fast, and their response is very good."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
 

Cons

"It is quite expensive when compared to other applications in the market."
"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me."
"Our main pain point is that some of our hardware is old. For example, the SSD disks for our application database are slow. It's hard to avoid a slowdown in our environment because the size of our backups is growing every year. If you're growing and don't upgrade the environment, you will see slower backups and restores. You must enhance the environment if you are growing."
"Sometimes the web page doesn't work. I don't know if it's an outage or if there is maintenance going on in the background. From time to time, Commvault will suddenly stop taking backups for some intervals."
"The pricing could be more flexible in terms of licensing."
"Our main pain point is that some of our hardware is old."
"We are using a production environment with customer-sensitive data on it. As per our central bank rules and regulations, we can't keep our customer's sensitive data in the cloud."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this."
"I think the pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"The solution could improve the stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is affordable."
"We have checked some other products, but we are not testing them because price-wise, Commvault is better than the other solutions."
"Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
"Commvault is quite high in terms of pricing and licensing."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"HyperScale X is expensive."
"The solution is worth the money."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery is priced fairly, and its performance-to-cost ratio is also better than fair."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"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."
"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."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
