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."
"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."
"Everything is flexible in the web console."
"The most valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X are all the general functions and the performance."
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate."
"Archiving and storage are very good."
"In summary, this is a unified product that is simple to use and a good backup solution."
"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"There is room for improvement in the Knowledge Base and error reporting. I would like to see best practices in the Knowledge Base, and have the ability to diagnose errors without contacting support."
"Commvault Cloud is a very powerful tool, but it can be improved in various ways."
"The deployment process should be simplified because it is not something that just anybody can do."
"The retention log feature could be an issue for us and can be improved. The backup schedule can also be better in terms of how you set it up."
"There is room for improvement in the data center application running on the cloud for the platform."
"They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays."
"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."
"The price of Commvault HyperScale X could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The additional cost is cloud storage, which the public cloud provider charges."
"New licensing is easy and affordable."
"Commvault licensing is a perpetual license so only the support is being renewed yearly."
"It is cheaper than NetBackup, but its price can be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"We have checked some other products, but we are not testing them because price-wise, Commvault is better than the other solutions."
"It would not be affordable for small to medium size organizations."
"If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
"Its cost is reasonable."
"There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
