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

"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
"The most valuable feature is Commvault's coverage, as it has wide coverage to back up every data center environment and can handle backing up any virtual workload or enterprise application while providing a single platform to move, manage, and recover data across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud locations."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"In summary, this is a unified product that is simple to use and a good backup solution."
"Metallic has also saved our organization money on infrastructure costs because the price was amazingly affordable, and we didn't have to create an on-prem solution."
"Commvault is a stable product."
"The return points are very valuable."
"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"Veeam Cloud Connect is used extensively, and there's a plan to increase its usage in the future."
"I've found flexibility to be the most valuable feature, and I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
"Generally speaking about Veeam, as a vendor, from a technical support perspective, I've really enjoyed the fact that they have a really high response rate."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."
"For my needs, the solution offers everything I want."
"The interesting part of the solution is that the customer does not have to invest in a second site to store their offsite backups."
 

Cons

"Commvault could improve in the area of monitoring and notification services."
"Improved documentation and user training resources could contribute to a smoother onboarding process and more effective utilization of the platform's capabilities."
"When we send a query to Commvault, they take a long time to answer our questions."
"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."
"The product does not provide an option to save a copy of data on-premises."
"The initial installation is straightforward and took approximately two days. However, the process could be more simple."
"The tool should revise its licensing."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"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 also think the cost factor is a major issue for Veeam because it's a very expensive soluton especially when the client wants support for VMware."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"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 they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could always be lower."
"One of the issues with backup vendors is that they overprice, or overvalue their products."
"We went from Veritas NetBackup to Commvault. We switched due to upfront licensing and costs. We have more visibility into what we're actually purchasing. It seemed like, overall, the cost of Commvault was cheaper."
"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."
"The license for Commvault HyperScale X is paid annually."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The solution is expensive, but it is worth the money."
"Commvault's license fee is per server-based."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"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."
"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."
"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."
