Unified data protection has simplified hybrid backups and has improved ransomware recovery speed
Commvault Cloud's best feature in terms of protection is that it provides data protection and accomplishes its job effectively. It offers a unified approach to backup across all environments, including on-premises, public cloud, and SaaS applications such as M365 and Salesforce. I also use it for virtual machines and databases. The unified protection approach helps my team manage different environments effectively. Before Commvault Cloud, I used a separate VM backup tool to protect the VMware environment. For database backup, I had to use the native tool or backup scripts. For the cloud part, I had to use the native AWS or Azure cloud tools. After moving to Commvault Cloud, a single policy or a set of backup policies is applied across virtual machines, databases, workloads, and cloud workloads. I can protect my environments, which reduces manual configuration errors. Regarding visibility, it provides one dashboard to manage and centralize monitoring of all workloads. It is very easy to track backup success or failure. I can see the SLA compliance and storage usage without needing to jump between tools to check or have visibility of it. Regarding the recovery experience, the recovery time has been reduced drastically by using Commvault Cloud. It has simplified cloud management and provides easier manageability to manage retention policies, encryption policies, and compliance rules. This helps reduce operational workloads. Commvault Cloud has impacted me very positively. It simplifies and unifies data protection across hybrid workloads. Instead of managing multiple backup tools for virtual machines, databases, and SaaS applications, I now have a single platform with consistent policies and centralized visibility. This has really reduced my operational complexity and improved backup reliability. Regarding the cyber resiliency posture, the immutable backups and ransomware recovery workflow give me greater confidence in recovering quicker from potential risks. Commvault Cloud has positively impacted me in several key areas: unified backup management across environments, reduced operational overhead, improved ransomware resiliency, faster recovery times, better visibility for compliance, and easier management of hybrid or cloud workloads.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform's most effective feature is quickly recovering virtual instances into a separate environment."
"The solution’s user interface for managing the on-prem environment is good."
"Commvault provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover our data across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud locations, and we completely depend on it for managing our data, from backup to restore to replication."
"I can leverage on cloud storage technologies as well and restore it with granularity level that I have not seen in any other data management tool."
"Commvault has support for backing up operating systems and servers."
"Our primary use case is for backing up the .NES file system, and I backup VMware and Windows cloud servers."
"We have seen a high return of value, and management is also happy."
"Commvault helps our administrators to minimize the time they spend on the backup tasks and that gives them time for other projects."
"Single pane of management policy driven backup."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"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 likes to be ahead of the game when it comes to merging with other platforms, but sometimes it's before they have the solution truly baked in. Office 365 is an example. I feel that my company might be a litmus test for their solution, because we have such a large environment. Some of the promised solutions that we received from Commvault were more like testing solutions. They weren't really validated, meaning they were possibilities. There have been a lot of hot fixes for the solution that we're using right now, more than we expected."
"The product does not provide an option to save a copy of data on-premises."
"It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement. Commvault could increase the training it provides to customers and partners."
"When you deploy Complete Data Protection for past services, it's more complicated because you cannot directly back up from the previous service host. We have to build a proxy server, like a middleware, to directly access the past database server. It's complex and hard for beginners to figure out."
"Its technical support could be better."
"Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault."
"The product is a bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The additional cost is cloud storage, which the public cloud provider charges."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery is priced fairly, and its performance-to-cost ratio is also better than fair."
"The cost of an integrator license is moderate and its features cover most customers."
"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"The solution is expensive. However, there are no additional costs involved. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"Its cost is reasonable."
