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.

Efficient discovery workflows have supported fast reviews but ingestion of document families still needs work
Everlaw's best features include ease of ingestion, processing speed, processing metadata, metadata redactions, and seamless application of redactions on the native. The speed of processing makes the biggest difference in my day-to-day work because the faster we get data into a review system, the less time that we have down for projects. Everlaw has positively impacted my organization by offering an opportunity for an alternative to our current database management that we use for eDiscovery. It has a different aesthetic feel, and we use it primarily for shorter-lived cases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's an enterprise product. It's a stable product. We have good support. Almost all databases are in the scope."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Complete Data Protection are the complete feature sets it provides in one platform. You are able to backup many different types of data, such as virtual machines, servers, cloud, endpoints, Microsoft Office365, and Gmail. The usage of the solution is flexible."
"Quick backups and restores of data are the most valuable features. It is important that it is an easy solution to integrate with the SAML authentication of our tenant, so we can have our users log into the systems and do their own restores, if needed."
"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"The product's stability is good enough."
"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"The most valuable feature is sharing data sets like they're in a private cloud. We call it our "private cloud" because we can share anything that is inside our backup set with our colleagues or with other people, and yet, everything is still in Belgrade, in Serbia. It's not somewhere else on cloud servers. Everything is in our environment."
"I like Commvault's immutable backups. It integrates with other solutions in our IT infrastructure very well."
"Customer support is phenomenal and is one of the most appealing factors with Everlaw."
"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."
"We use the tool specifically for unitization in many projects. It's very easy for reviewers to use. Everlaw is improving daily, introducing new features like analytics and AI. Analytics in Everlaw runs by default when we process anything. We used AI to train the system for review in a project with five million records."
 

Cons

"Our main pain point is that some of our hardware is old. For example, the SSD disks for our application database are slow. It's hard to avoid a slowdown in our environment because the size of our backups is growing every year. If you're growing and don't upgrade the environment, you will see slower backups and restores. You must enhance the environment if you are growing."
"Its dashboard could be improved to provide a summarized version of all the jobs instead of having to go through each one of them. We should easily be able to glance at all issues. If I had not gone with the on-premise version, I would have had regular reports with the cloud version. It would be an advantage if they increase the compression rate of the backup. I am keeping it on-prem, so I'll need more disks depending on the policies that I have in the retention period. Its price could also be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage."
"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."
"There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved and made cheaper."
"Getting my guys the right access has a learning curve. Sometimes, it is, "Oh, okay. I think I got it for you." Then, they say, "Oh, nope. I logged in but I can't see this." Then, it is, "Okay, hold on. Give me a second. Let me change that. Okay, it's this one." That learning curve has probably taken a little bit longer than some simpler things. So, Metallic has some granularity, and as a systems administrator, I appreciate that. At the same time, I also realize that I have to learn it."
"Could be easier to implement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is affordable."
"Using a subscription-based license has been advantageous."
"The product is cheap."
"The complete license gives us options for all the features. Commvault does not license based on storage or the management components. It can integrate with any storage vendor. That means that when we are out of storage and need more, we can integrate without additional licensing. In my opinion, Commvault needs to reduce the licensing cost by 20 to 40 percent to make it cost-efficient."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"...the battle came down to pricing, as well as some small features, and Commvault was the best in all the criteria."
"Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"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."
