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

"I can leverage on cloud storage technologies as well and restore it with granularity level that I have not seen in any other data management tool."
"Commvault allows us to centralize the administration of the data since it has a wide range of products that must support the different critical mission systems that must be protected to offer security."
"This product has allowed us to recover data when we've had issues."
"The product is a reliable solution."
"People are going to be very impressed with that kind of support that they get from Commvault."
"Commvault is very good in terms of performance backup."
"Commvault has helped us to win some customers against our competitors because we have this solution and they don't have anything like it."
"This solution gives me the full insight without having to use other products, metrics, or reporting tools."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
"Technical support is perfect, they are very helpful."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is still one of the most cost-effective backup solutions on the market and offers very good value for money."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."
"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."
 

Cons

"Its dashboard could be improved to provide a summarized version of all the jobs instead of having to go through each one of them."
"The price of Commvault HyperScale X could improve."
"With respect to the cloud, they need to offer more integrations."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"The product could be easier to implement, they could create a new console to configure the solution."
"Permissions can be tricky. There is granularity when trying to get people to write permissions to be able to view, backup, and restore."
"Suppose I am restoring a particular file. If I want to restore the permissions only from that particular folder, that is not possible. I have to restore all the data for that particular folder. If there was an option to just restore the permissions, that would be better."
"The solution must provide deception files across the network."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"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."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"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."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One of the issues with backup vendors is that they overprice, or overvalue their products."
"...the battle came down to pricing, as well as some small features, and Commvault was the best in all the criteria."
"The license for Commvault HyperScale X is paid annually."
"In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually."
"The cost for Commvault is very expensive, even support is very expensive. The full cost of the solution is 50,000 INR per year, which includes 20 VM backups, server data backup, and 200 desktop and laptop agent licenses."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery is priced fairly, and its performance-to-cost ratio is also better than fair."
"Commvault's pricing model and pricing structure were initially confusing, but once we worked more closely with the company, we were able to transition to a subscription license that saved us a lot of money."
"In India, this is a very expensive product."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"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."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
