Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 3, 2024

Commvault Cloud and Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup are significant players in the cloud backup and recovery market, offering solutions tailored to different organizational needs. Commvault Cloud takes the lead with its rich feature set, providing comprehensive data protection and management capabilities that are particularly attractive for large enterprises.

Features: Commvault Cloud provides global deduplication, cross-platform replication, and a centralized command center that simplifies the monitoring and management of data across various environments. It is designed with a global application database to streamline backup management. In comparison, Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup integrates smoothly with Microsoft 365, providing efficient synchronization and virus detection, although it does not match the extensive features that Commvault offers.

Room for Improvement: Commvault Cloud could enhance its user interface, improve setup processes, and provide better documentation to facilitate easier deployment and management. Users also indicate a need for an improved customer experience and a simplified licensing model. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup could benefit from expanding platform integrations and making file recovery navigation more intuitive, addressing user challenges in finding and restoring specific files efficiently.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Commvault Cloud supports deployment across on-premises, public, private, and hybrid cloud environments, providing flexibility to organizations. Its customer service, while comprehensive, could improve in local language support and response times. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is noted for its ease of use, supporting public and hybrid cloud environments effectively, with streamlined setup processes and responsive customer service.

Pricing and ROI: Commvault Cloud offers a competitive pricing structure with a robust feature set, providing considerable cost-efficiency for enterprises, which results in significant ROI over time due to reduced infrastructure costs and manpower savings. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is priced affordably, appealing to smaller organizations with its straightforward pricing model, though it does not offer the feature breadth of Commvault. While both solutions promise ROI, Commvault's extensive features are ideal for enterprises prioritizing comprehensive data protection, whereas Barracuda serves those valuing cost-efficiency and simplicity.

Reliable backups have protected all cloud data and now provide quick recovery for users

The features include easy setup, easy to use, and unlimited storage. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup has positively impacted my organization by helping us with lost productivity when someone deletes a cloud-stored item and we can retrieve it easily. With wrong creation of Teams and no owners assigned, we get notified. It helps me worry less that in the worst-case scenario, mailboxes and Teams are easily restorable to continue with online learning at a very low risk. It also proves useful, for instance, where a user accidentally loses or deletes an important email or a file in the mailbox. The team can easily restore what has been lost.

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 product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."

"The initial setup is pretty simple."

"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."

"We've noticed fewer data losses by 90% compared to our previous tool since implementing Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup."

"The product enables us to restore lost files."

"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."

"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."

"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."

More Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup pros

"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."

"It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate."

"The solution provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover our data across on-premise locations. Some of the guys have been using it to move a virtual machine from VMware to the Microsoft solution, Hyper-V. They back it up and then they restore to the different virtual machine provider, and that works great."

"We have VMware, Hyper-V, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL. We have a lot of different systems, and all of them are supported under one licensing agreement. That's one of the benefits."

"I'm a big fan of the reporting. You can build your own reports; it's very customizable. You can have individual reports going to groups of people or individuals. You can have them go out multiple times a day. It's basically a free-for-all as far as reporting goes. If anybody wants a specific job report every day, you can build it, schedule it, and have it go out and never touched it again. It's pretty nice."

"It's a complete software that can protect all the main applications. Perhaps that's the feature I like most. The integration with the NetApp and other apps is also very nice."

"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."

"They have a strong development team and are market leaders in the space."

More Commvault Cloud pros

Cons

"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."

"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."

"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."

"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."

"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."

"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."

"Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup can be improved by addressing that when performing a restore, the search filter and the mailbox filter can be confusing, depending on what you want to achieve."

"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."

"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."

"We had some small issues with the reporting, but that was just a matter of fine-tuning the kinds of messages we receive by email. It was a little overwhelming in the initial configuration. So we reviewed our configuration with our partner and customized the reports so that we only get the important reports. I haven't seen any big issues or things that the solution is missing."

"The solution must provide deception files across the network."

"There could be improvements to the backup failures."

"The user creation and management capabilities could be improved."

"The speed of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is adequate. Microsoft controls the amount of bandwidth that people have when they're using Azure and the O365 environment... If they could work out something with Microsoft to improve the speed, that would help."

"Could be easier to implement."

"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."

More Commvault Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable compared to other products."

"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"This is a cost-effective solution."

"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."

"If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."

"Hands down, Metallic provides us with more predictable costs for our backup requirements. You are getting what you pay for. If they are charging you X amount of dollars at that point, that is what you are going to pay. So far, I have not seen any hidden costs or any kind of gotchas. It is pretty cut-and-dry. They will let you know, "Hey, you are going to use our storage and it will cost you this much. You are going to use your storage, then we are going to charge you this much to backup.""

"It is cheaper than Veeam."

"The price of Commvault HyperScale X is a lot higher than competitors. As a government institution, we have annual costs. We made a budget for one year in advance. It was difficult to calculate the other solution's costs because each solution has another way of licensing. The solution is expensive but it is very good and we know the good quality we will be receiving."

"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."

"Metallic is an affordable solution."

"The pricing has improved. It is simplified compared to the way that it was a few years ago. It is fairly straightforward and pretty easy to articulate to customers, which is handy."

"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."
