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.

Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable
The initial setup is very straightforward. It is easy. There are no great difficulties when setting up the solution. Even the configuration is simple. The deployment itself takes only a couple of days. It only takes one person to install it. You do not need a big team. We had an engineer manage it. The product does not require any maintenance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Commvault has support for backing up operating systems and servers."
"The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates."
"Commvault is a very stable product."
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"IntelliSnap and file system backups are valuable features."
"There are many valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X giving many possibilities to complete jobs, particularly with the backup and restore."
"Commvault can perform a backup no matter where you are, and it takes a backup every four hours. No matter when you come to the office, it'll take a backup if you're connected to the internet and check the system for online availability."
"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."
"The solution is extremely stable; we haven't come across any bugs, crashes, or glitches."
"I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."
"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."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."
 

Cons

"Training."
"It takes a lot of steps to implement backups. We have to do a lot of planning to make the solution work properly. It takes some time to create every policy. It's an easy task, but there are many steps. It's not as easy as using Veeam."
"When we send a query to Commvault, they take a long time to answer our questions."
"I don't know much about the pricing and licensing, but I do know it is very expensive."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
"The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me. My OneDrive is protected by multifactor authentication, and to get the backup to begin behind that multifactor authentication took a little bit of almost customized support, even though I was following the instructions and the videos. That process could have been easier."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"The solution's breadth and depth of cloud support are good, but could be better. Some cloud features that are common-sense, especially on AWS, are not completely integrated yet in the product. They are a work-in-progress."
"The security of encrypted data could be better."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"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 bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."
"Doesn't back-up from KVM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"I looked at this at the beginning of the year and I don't remember what the prices were for all the other services, but I thought that Metallic's was fair. It was also highly rated, which was even more important than cost because I need a reliable, secure, backup method."
"Metallic is an affordable solution."
"HyperScale X is expensive."
"The product is cheap."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"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."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
