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

"It's very user-friendly. It supports a wide range of workloads. It's quite easy to use, it's very powerful and it's scalable."
"The SaaS offering is the most valuable feature because it provides endpoint, Office 365, and core server backup."
"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"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."
"It's very stable."
"What I find valuable is restoring the complete server. Restoring files is also valuable, but I like restoring the server because you don't have to rebuild a new one."
"Metallic has definitely improved our ability to back up and restore email, as well as the other online systems."
"The solution is very stable and offers a good level of performance."
"With Veeam, you get a useable copy when you restore a backup."
"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 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 most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."
"I am happy with their support, they are fast, and their response is very good."
"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
 

Cons

"The Java interface is not great."
"Setup is complex."
"The retention log feature could be an issue for us and can be improved. The backup schedule can also be better in terms of how you set it up."
"We do not use Command Center, but we are using CommCell Console. We're navigating and manipulating the entire environment by using CommCell Console, and we are comfortable with it. We didn't find Command Center user-friendly. We found it a bit difficult to use. It decreases the efficiency of the tasks to be performed. It was probably implemented as a centralized application to manage all environments, but it was probably not a good idea. I and my colleagues across the globe are comfortable with using CommCell Console rather than Command Center."
"The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me."
"The workflow has room for improvement."
"Commvault could benefit from increased automation to streamline processes and enhance predictability."
"The setup is not that straightforward or easy. Even the documentation is not generic or public like other products. You have to be a partner or you have to have a specific account and download it from the vendor themselves."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"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."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"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."
"The solution could improve the stability."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It would not be affordable for small to medium size organizations."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery is perhaps the best value for our money that I have seen in a backup product."
"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 price of Commvault HyperScale X is a lot higher than competitors. As a government institution, we have annual costs. We made a budget for one year in advance. It was difficult to calculate the other solution's costs because each solution has another way of licensing. The solution is expensive but it is very good and we know the good quality we will be receiving."
"Its cost is reasonable, but anybody else can do better benchmarking."
"The pricing is fairly in line with the other products we've compared it with recently. We do spend more on it than we did in our Backup Exec days, but it's fairly competitive with some of the other best-in-class data protection platforms."
"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."
"Commvault is quite high in terms of pricing and licensing."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"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 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."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
