Featured Reviews

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

"The most valuable feature is the ability it gives me to automate backups well and consistently, and to follow up on them as well."
"The return points are very valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"Commvault has a unique administration platform and interfaces, providing backup, archive, reporting and replication features, and has more features than its competitors."
"It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate."
"I like Commvault's immutable backups. It integrates with other solutions in our IT infrastructure very well."
"I recommend the Commvault HyperScale X for its enhanced quality, performance focus, and data isolation."
"The most valuable feature is Commvault's coverage. It has wide coverage to back up every data center environment. The product can back up OpenStack, OpenShift, and competitive solutions don't have this feature. Commvault can handle backing up any virtual workload or enterprise application."
"Veeam Cloud Connect is used extensively, and there's a plan to increase its usage in the future."
"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."
"It's a great product because it's great scalability and it scales out from small to big companies perfectly."
"I am happy with their support, they are fast, and their response is very good."
"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."
"The deployment is quite simple. Users are generally happy because of the familiarity they have with the features. The solution offers good transparency for the end-user."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."
"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."
 

Cons

"For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments."
"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."
"If I were to ask them to work on something, it would be the fidelity of the alerts that occur. They should tell me if it is a real event or not. It is easy for it to identify that something hit it but give me more information. They can build AI into the engine so that I get better output from an alert to tell me if I should really be interested in that or not."
"With so many features, sometimes you cannot find what you are looking for in the interface and you have to dig into books online to find out how to solve an issue."
"Setup is complex."
"There could be improvements to the backup failures."
"Its competitor, Veeam, includes backup and replication in the same product. I don't know if Commvault has it or not, but they should if they don't."
"Commvault Complete Data Protection would benefit from improving their training resources."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared with other backup technologies, Commvault is a bit more costly, but we are satisfied with the support, the services, and the features that we get with Commvault."
"It is cheaper than NetBackup, but its price can be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"The solution is expensive, but it is worth the money."
"Using a subscription-based license has been advantageous."
"I would rate the price of Commvault Cloud seven out of ten with ten being the cheapest."
"One of the issues with backup vendors is that they overprice, or overvalue their products."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"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."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"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."
