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.

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

"The SaaS offering is the most valuable feature because it provides endpoint, Office 365, and core server backup."
"Commvault gives us a single platform to manage and recover our data. Since we are a research organization, backup is one of the most critical parts of our IT operations and services. Internally, we run it as a managed service, and there is a single console that makes it easy for management to see the performance."
"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."
"Commvault is my number one for ability to easily manage very complex environments with very little administrative effort."
"I recommend the Commvault HyperScale X for its enhanced quality, performance focus, and data isolation."
"What I like about Commvault is that it's very robust."
"We have multiple workloads, including SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, especially Sybase, as well as file systems, VMs, and Exchange mailboxes. Commvault provides very good support for them."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"Replication without network changes."
"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."
"The solution is extremely stable; we haven't come across any bugs, crashes, or glitches."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."
"I like this solution and recommend it to clients."
 

Cons

"Data center backup must be improved."
"Commvault could improve in the area of monitoring and notification services."
"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."
"The tool should revise its licensing."
"I have written a lot of different reviews about the product and every time I have mentioned the user interface is not user-friendly, e.g., the admin portal is not user-friendly."
"Its dashboard could be improved to provide a summarized version of all the jobs instead of having to go through each one of them. We should easily be able to glance at all issues. If I had not gone with the on-premise version, I would have had regular reports with the cloud version. It would be an advantage if they increase the compression rate of the backup. I am keeping it on-prem, so I'll need more disks depending on the policies that I have in the retention period. Its price could also be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage."
"The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me."
"Virtual machines backup window in GUI is not user friendly. Some improvements should be done to better user experience."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"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."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"I think the pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"The solution could improve the stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You have to pay for the licenses and the hardware you need for the Commvault environment. If you don't have all the hardware, you have to buy it, which can cost a few million. In the end, it's vital to protect our data, so the price isn't an issue."
"Everyone else offers the subscription-based model nowadays, while Commvault Complete Data Protection still has the traditional license model, where you must buy a set of licenses. You pay for one hundred licenses even if you only use fifty virtual machines, so the licensing model needs improvement."
"It is cheaper than Veeam."
"There is a bit of cost involved with signing up the entire solution. It's not a cheap solution."
"The complete license gives us options for all the features. Commvault does not license based on storage or the management components. It can integrate with any storage vendor. That means that when we are out of storage and need more, we can integrate without additional licensing. In my opinion, Commvault needs to reduce the licensing cost by 20 to 40 percent to make it cost-efficient."
"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."
"It is not the cheapest solution. I think the pricing is fair for mid-side customers. It is between all the other options."
"The price could always be lower."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"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 licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
