A scalable solution for backup and restore that has an easy setup
The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems. There's no other way around it. Recently, we have also faced RDS and print server issues. One of our clients experienced some remote desktop service issues. These things keep happening with Microsoft. They have a patch, and then they have some other rollout that fixes it. The solution should be more consistent with its patching updates.

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 stability has always been very good."
"The most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."
"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"The solution has good scalability."
"The 1-Touch recovery feature is helpful for all customers."
"All workloads can be integrated with Commvault. If we use a new technology, Commvault integrates with it. Commvault is a data management solution with support for building the DR side of things. With Commvault we can rapidly back up and restore any application we add to our environment."
"It's an enterprise product. It's a stable product. We have good support. Almost all databases are in the scope."
"The most helpful features of Commvault Cloud are its extensive capabilities, as they are in a position to take care of whatever use case presented to it."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"The multi-tenancy is the most valuable feature for us because it's the only software that is fully multi-tenant and that has all the features we need to provide to all our tenants. It provides us with advanced features for MySQL and Oracle, among other platforms"
"What I like about Commvault is that it's very robust."
"The compression and deduplication are great for optimizing bandwidth and speed. I don't have to worry about it or think about it, and, because it's a SaaS solution, I don't have to worry about the storage size."
 

Cons

"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."
"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"The initial setup was complex."
"They can improve the security level for Windows. When mapping to the Windows, Commvault can take full control over data volumes so that the attacker can't delete the volume data, but the Windows admin can access the volumes. It would be great to block access at that level."
"Reduce the complexity for better understanding of the reports. There are a lot of variables in which you can get confused while elaborating on reports."
"We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files."
"I would like to see AI capabilities in Commvault Cloud. It is just the AI capability that is being asked by the customers as well as that I see missing with Commvault."
"I would like to see more customizable reports. I have reports going right now, but the daily report, for example, shows something like 40 jobs that ran when there are just a few endpoints on there. I'd like to just know if the endpoint was successfully backed up, not how many times. More customizable reports would be nice to have."
"Commvault could benefit from increased automation to streamline processes and enhance predictability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"The solution could also be cheaper."
"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"The product is cheap."
"The license is paid on an annual basis and the price is reasonable."
"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"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'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."
"Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"Its cost is reasonable, but anybody else can do better benchmarking."
