Ankit Gagneja - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud Solution Architect at Tata Consultancy
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

"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"The features I find most helpful in Commvault are its ability to perform incremental backups and significantly reduce backup times for our diverse multi-architecture, multi-environment environment."
"We can use it on-premises and in the cloud."
"Several years ago, we encountered some ransomware; we just had to recover the file with Commvault, which was great."
"Commvault provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover our data across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud locations, and we completely depend on it for managing our data, from backup to restore to replication."
"The most valuable feature of Metallic is its flexibility and user-friendly."
"There are many valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X giving many possibilities to complete jobs, particularly with the backup and restore."
"Overall it has great features that fulfill our customers' expectations."
"For my needs, the solution offers everything I want."
"Veeam Cloud Connect is used extensively, and there's a plan to increase its usage in the future."
"It's a stable solution."
"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."
"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."
"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."
"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 solution is extremely stable; we haven't come across any bugs, crashes, or glitches."
 

Cons

"The setup is not that straightforward or easy. Even the documentation is not generic or public like other products."
"I don't know much about the pricing and licensing, but I do know it is very expensive."
"Commvault Cloud currently lacks support for backing up Proxmox environments, which limits its functionality."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"Training."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"I would like Commvault to have a feature for cybersecurity threats, e.g. securing the target backup repository."
"Commvault should keep and continue to develop the Java GUI."
"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."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"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."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors."
"The solution could improve the stability."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Metallic is an affordable solution."
"We like that there is no extra cost for SharePoint, Teams, or OneDrive. It is all mimicking Microsoft's model. Every user has one terabyte of space. When users start using OneDrive, everybody has one terabyte that will be backed up included in the price."
"The cost of an integrator license is moderate and its features cover most customers."
"It was not very popular because of its previous cost, but they have been working on the pricing, and now anyone can afford to use Commvault. They changed the modeling criteria for their pricing. Previously, there was only the capacity modeling based on your content capacity. In this case, they would give you a license and you would have to pay it. Now, most of the environment is virtualized so you can have the best CPU, VMs, etc. You buy whatever you need and pay for what you need."
"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"It would not be affordable for small to medium size organizations."
"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 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 licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
