Ankit Gagneja - PeerSpot reviewer

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

"If you really want to understand your data, audit your data, really manipulate your data, and save money through your data, then Commvault is the place to go."
"Commvault just doesn't have any weaknesses in their product lineup, so it is the ability to do everything that really sets Commvault apart."
"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"This solution gives me the full insight without having to use other products, metrics, or reporting tools."
"The deduplication in Commvault is great; we have 90-something percent savings using its deduplication technology."
"We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."
"Every server is online and the backup is also online, so we reduce the downtime and administrative overhead."
"Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."
"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."
"While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."
"Veeam Cloud Connect is used extensively, and there's a plan to increase its usage in the future."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center."
"For my needs, the solution offers everything I want."
 

Cons

"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"Training."
"The product is expensive."
"The only problem is that some of what we snap most of is the VMs. We found about 10% of the VMs that we can't snap because they're too interactive. It actually causes the application to crash."
"There is room for improvement in terms of data security."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"Endpoint backup."
"I just wanted to compare the features, which are there in EMC NetWorker, which are not available in Commvault. We have things using Networker."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"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."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is paid on an annual basis and the price is reasonable."
"Commvault is more expensive than Veeam, which is the reason that we are changing to Veeam for cloud environments."
"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."
"New licensing is easy and affordable."
"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."
"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."
"The licensing costs are determined on a yearly basis. It might be around $40,000 or $50,000. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"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 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."
"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."
