Sanjay Singh Bisht - PeerSpot reviewer
Assistant Manager at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
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.

Attorney and Certified eDiscovery Specialist at Tenaglia Law and eDiscovery Services
Document review has become faster and more accurate while protecting sensitive information
Everlaw is very helpful with the different types of capabilities it offers, including batching, search terms, coding documents, and setting up the coding panel. One of the best features that Everlaw offers is the searching capability and search results, being able to search for documents. What makes the searching feature stand out for me is its accuracy. Everlaw has positively impacted my organization by making it much easier to process mass productions by batching so that reviewers can get in and review documents. I can use the MD5 hash values to search for documents that might be similar and ensure that accuracy and consistency are maintained across the board. Everlaw has saved the team time and reduced errors because when I was using Everlaw, we did not always have the budget to pay for the best reviewers, and some of them did not prioritize accuracy. Everlaw identifies a lot of the mistakes that the attorneys are making so that we can correct them before they get to the client.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are very happy now with the technical support, as it is Indian."
"One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn."
"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."
"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."
"Everlaw has positively impacted my organization by allowing for quicker and more efficient discovery productions, and it has also decreased the errors in discovery."
"The best features Everlaw offers include the ability to label things, whether there is a statutory privilege or privacy-related privilege."
"Customer support is phenomenal and is one of the most appealing factors with Everlaw."
"Everlaw has saved me time and made processes more efficient, as it has been easier to use than some software such as Exterro."
"In my opinion, the best features Everlaw offers include its central database and the coding technology to organize the data."
"In Everlaw, you can add related items within a search to a search component, allowing you to build and expand your search incrementally. For example, you can start with an initial search, add related items, and then continue adding more related items to the entire search. Another thing about Everlaw is its speed. It loads quickly, whether it's images or documents."
"I recommend that others looking into using Everlaw should not hesitate because it is cheaper, faster, and easier than any other ESI database."
"Everlaw is something I always recommend to people who have large-scale projects but may have a client who is not willing to pay as much as it would be if they were to use Relativity."
 

Cons

"Setup is complex."
"Commvault is complex even if the product has comprehensive solutions and covers pretty much every technology out there. There's no unified way to manage all of the products on one single console."
"There is room for improvement in the data center application running on the cloud for the platform."
"Commvault's price is quite high."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
"The most common feedback I get in terms of Commvault is that it can be complex."
"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."
"Compared to Rubrik, MongoDB Data Protector, and NetBackup, Commvault is better. The licensing team was quite tricky recently because they stopped the unlimited files for that license. Commvault made a bank of 500GB only, a node-based license can take it, which is disappointing. Reporting needs to be more granular. Also, there should be a showback of data being backed up, and the backup cost to share the cost internally with the department."
"The only thing I believe could be improved is that the pricing should be disclosed more clearly."
"Everlaw can be improved on ingestion by making the ingestion of family members more cohesive, as larger documents sometimes fall behind family members which may get processed earlier, causing some confusion for case teams."
"I have used it to identify PII and privilege, and I still see errors with whether or not it is accurately identifying PII."
"I think Everlaw can be improved because there is a lot of training that could use some work."
"It is expensive."
"When I first used Everlaw in the beta version and shortly after it was initially rolled out, it struggled with summarizing construction documents, and its accuracy in reviewing transcripts was adequate."
"Everlaw could be less choosy about accepting control numbers for third-party loads. When uploading third-party loads, it currently needs two mandatory fields (like within date or end date or page count). I think the control number should be the only required field. Everlaw isn't used for Data Breach projects. For normal eDiscovery, we can use Everlaw, but most clients prefer Relativity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cost-effective."
"The cost for Commvault is very expensive, even support is very expensive. The full cost of the solution is 50,000 INR per year, which includes 20 VM backups, server data backup, and 200 desktop and laptop agent licenses."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"Everyone else offers the subscription-based model nowadays, while Commvault Complete Data Protection still has the traditional license model, where you must buy a set of licenses. You pay for one hundred licenses even if you only use fifty virtual machines, so the licensing model needs improvement."
"We work with Commvault and a partner on our environment needs according to capacity, licensing, pricing, components, modules, etc. Additional costs depend on your backup needs."
"...the battle came down to pricing, as well as some small features, and Commvault was the best in all the criteria."
"Using a subscription-based license has been advantageous."
"We have checked some other products, but we are not testing them because price-wise, Commvault is better than the other solutions."
"The tool's pricing is higher than that of other tools. Other tools offer bundle rates, but Everlaw charges per GB, which is more expensive. It doesn't charge for users; it only charges for hosting."
