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

"The Asigra product on the whole is a fantastic solution and I would highly recommend this as it delivers everything our business and our subsequent customers required."
"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."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"It is just about as flexible as you can get; simple. You can put it anywhere you want. You can put it on-prem or in your cloud. I could see where a team that's looking for more of a follow the bouncy ball type of solution might get a little confused. "Oh, no. What do you mean I might have to do it this way or I can't do it that way?" Sometimes, people just want to be told what to do. For an enterprise environment, like we are at NDOT, everything we do is not standard. It is not industry standard; it is not normal. We have all kinds of one-offs. We do need flexibility in the solutions that we get. I will say that Metallic has been extremely flexible in that sense, where we are able to follow the bouncy ball if we wanted to. Obviously, we didn't. We did it our way and Metallic, as a whole solution, provided that to us with no issues."
"Commvault just doesn't have any weaknesses in their product lineup, so it is the ability to do everything that really sets Commvault apart."
"If we had lost that storage, it would have been a catastrophic loss of scientific data."
"Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive."
"Overall, this is a unified solution and it's wonderful."
"The rate of duplication is great."
"Commvault is stable, we've never had problems with it, it's always available, and it's doing the job without any issues."
"The most valuable feature is Commvault's coverage, as it has wide coverage to back up every data center environment and can handle backing up any virtual workload or enterprise application while providing a single platform to move, manage, and recover data across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud locations."
 

Cons

"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"The management could be a bit better."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"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."
"They should have 24/7 support for customers in different time zones. They are slow to respond to requests, and I get the impression that the ServiceDesk is overloaded."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"The solution can be a bit complex for new users. The solution needs better Office 365 data backup management."
"Suppose I am restoring a particular file. If I want to restore the permissions only from that particular folder, that is not possible. I have to restore all the data for that particular folder. If there was an option to just restore the permissions, that would be better."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
"Commvault has two management dashboards. The first is the CommCell Console, which is Java-based, and the second is Command Center. We don't always find all the features we need in the Command Center and we need to go through the Java console, and sometimes features are only on the Java console."
"Endpoint backup."
"Commvault could improve in the area of monitoring and notification services."
"The stability of the tool could be improved."
"Additional SaaS application support would be good... we have SaaS applications that may not be big enough for Commvault to support yet. Box.com is one we've asked about for years, and it's just not on the radar, as far as I know."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"The price is not cheap, but when you compare it to the other products they are all almost the same level in terms of price."
"Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers."
"Commvault is quite high in terms of pricing and licensing."
"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"In India, this is a very expensive product."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
