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.

Easy to categorize documents and offers transparent view of documents

I found Relativity very useful because it's easy to categorize documents. If you get more complex litigation, like around 500,000 or 1,000,000 documents, it's easier to categorize them in Relativity. So, it's a more powerful tool for reviewing documents. I haven't faced any problems using Relativity yet. I found it very useful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We specialize in Commvault and IntelliSnap. Commvault covers all our customers' backup needs in one system, and they have complete control over their Snapshot backups. Snapshots are important to our customers because of the size of their data sets."

"There's no impact on the endpoint. It runs in the background and it's something that you install and then forget about."

"Great archive feature, OnePass, for the file system and Exchange servers."

"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."

"The product is user-friendly."

"Commvault is an all-in-one product that is very simple and operational for business use."

"Commvault is a very stable product."

"Commvault provides the status of a backup or restore operation."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"The initial setup was relatively straightforward."

"Caplets are a very good technical feature."

"It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Relativity."

"The ease of navigation from dock to dock, and that kind of usability, is quite helpful."

"There are a lot of ways to QC your work and save your searches, and we had really good case support from the Relativity team."

"kCura Relativity is easy to use, and it is reliable."

"I like Relativity's blackout feature, as well as the Case Dynamics function."

Cons

"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."

"Commvault could benefit from increased automation to streamline processes and enhance predictability."

"Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved."

"This solution can be complex and difficult to administer because it supports all of the many platforms, so it would help if they could simplify it."

"The initial setup was complicated."

"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."

"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."

"You need quite a lot of human resources to maintain a Commvault environment, to keep it operational. Also, it would be nice to if there were an easier way set up some Commvault components."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"The platform's integration of advanced AI features could further enhance its capabilities."

"What I dislike about Relativity is that we have to go through the host in order to do productions and loads. It is not a do-it-yourself tool."

"I haven't seen anything on AI merging with Relativity."

"They require more built-in support for some third-party applications."

"I would definitely not recommended it unless you have someone who has had experience with it and knows how to work the program."

"The price per user could be improved. We'd like for it to be more affordable."

"There are a lot of bugs on the development side."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of an integrator license is moderate and its features cover most customers."

"Commvault Backup & Recovery is perhaps the best value for our money that I have seen in a backup product."

"The price could always be lower."

"It is cheaper than Veeam."

"The price of Commvault HyperScale X is a lot higher than competitors. As a government institution, we have annual costs. We made a budget for one year in advance. It was difficult to calculate the other solution's costs because each solution has another way of licensing. The solution is expensive but it is very good and we know the good quality we will be receiving."

"Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."

"Licensing fees are billed 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."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"They are maintaining the per gigabyte pricing, and it's based on tiers of how much data you host with them."

"It's worth the money."

"The pricing is extremely complicated."

"Users are typically charged a fee per user account and a separate fee based on the amount of data processed and hosted."
