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

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

"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."

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

"Overall, I am a very satisfied user of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup."

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

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

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

"The product enables us to restore lost files."

More Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup pros

"We can use it on-premises and in the cloud."

"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."

"It helped us reduce the number of servers that are required for a stable operation."

"The backup and restore capabilities are key. The most useful things to us about Commvault, in general, is the breadth of the applications that it can protect as well as the features inside of it, like deduplication and encryption. When people get their data encrypted, Commvault has a way to tell if somebody is being attacked through a cybersecurity threat because their data changes. So, Commvault has what they call honeypot files out there to look to see if anybody is changing these files. Only Commvault knows which files those are, so nobody should be messing with those files. If it changes, then it will alert you to say, "Oh, I potentially have somebody messing with my files." It will alert you to something going on in your environment that probably shouldn't be happening. We deploy that with all our customers so they have this capability as well."

"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."

"The Command Center is provided from the web interface. You can back up the data for everybody, but also you can give everybody the ability to view and restore their data. For example, if a laptop, machine, or environment is owned by X, then X can look in and see the environment and data that he has backed up. He can see everything that he owns and can manage the environment as he wishes. It gives him an excellent view of his environment and infrastructure. Also, if you are a service provider, you can back up data for multiple companies and give everyone an interface for their environment to manage, backup, and restore data. Commvault has done excellent work in this area."

"What is most valuable to me are the search features, where you can search through large backup data sets and find what you're looking for. Our data sets are so big that we're over the petabyte mark. To find a specific file for a specific user out of 10,000 users is a challenge... If we can glean from them a general description of where it might be, the search feature comes in very handy to actually locate it and restore it for them."

"Metallic helped me to restore the data within an hour, which is much faster than restoring from Microsoft services."

More Commvault Cloud pros

Cons

"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."

"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

"The price of Commvault HyperScale X could improve."

"Could be easier to implement."

"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."

"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."

"Commvault Cloud currently lacks support for backing up Proxmox environments, which limits its functionality."

"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."

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

"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."

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."

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

"This is a cost-effective solution."

"Commvault's license fee is per server-based."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The product is cheap."

"Based on the customer's needs, their pricing and model is very confusing sometimes. You need to check with their sales to make sure you are getting the right pricing on whatever you are using. I know that they have simplified a lot regarding the licensing model nowadays, but it is good to always double check and make sure it has everything that you really need."

"It is cheaper than Veeam."

"There is a bit of cost involved with signing up the entire solution. It's not a cheap solution."
