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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"Asigra's client-less approach is one of the best in the industry."
"Since we have implemented Asigra we don’t have an administrator to do manual backup to tapes and external HDD; everything is automated and there are no hassles for the administrator."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"Flexibility really means a lot for us. Being able to address almost every client backup and recovery requirement means that we have a tremendous amount of confidence as do our partners that Blueshift is going to be able to deploy a solution quickly and efficiently."
"Commvault provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover data across our on-premises and cloud locations, which is something that is very important for us."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The return points are very valuable."
"Our primary use case is for backing up the .NES file system, and I backup VMware and Windows cloud servers."
"It provides us a good holistic view of everything that we have backed up so far. It also provides us all the recovery points. If we look at an an object that has been backed up, we can tell how many retention copies it has, how far we can go, and recover any data, if needed."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"I like Commvault's immutable backups. It integrates with other solutions in our IT infrastructure very well."
"The product alerts the security team about threats."
 

Cons

"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"At present, downloading the relevant files and placing them into a directory on the DS-System is a little cumbersome and open to error/malicious use."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release."
"This solution can be complex and difficult to administer because it supports all of the many platforms, so it would help if they could simplify it."
"Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault."
"Commvault Complete Data Protection meets market standards, but an area for improvement is its licensing model. It would be good if it could use the subscription-based model rather than the traditional licensing model."
"The support needs more improvement. I feel that the support is not yet up to the mark, with not enough professional engineers to provide assistance."
"They should move the CommServe outside of Windows machines and the database should be distributed among servers. It's still a single point of failure."
"It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be."
"The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"It is a little too high. I would like to get more of a consumption model or more of a periodic true-up type of model that is more friendly to the ups and downs that you may have in your data instead of locking into multi-year agreements."
"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."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery is perhaps the best value for our money that I have seen in a backup product."
"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."
"There is a bit of cost involved with signing up the entire solution. It's not a cheap solution."
"Commvault's license fee is per server-based."
"The tool is affordable."
"Our yearly cost is around €20,000... The cost is based on the number of users and the amount of data. They sell it per terabyte."
