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.

Flexible, good data protection, responsive and knowledgeable technical support

They definitely need to improve their reporting. Their dashboard is good. It can always be improved, but for now, it's really simple: you see what works and what doesn't. However, once you get into the enterprise space, you want to make sure that your dashboard has additional, reporting possibilities. You will want more customization and more options available. Because if you move into the enterprise-class space in the financial industry, they will want to know regulations, where the data is held, and how long the retention periods are by marketing group and per type of data. You want to have hooks into the data types, which Keepit doesn't have now, but I'm sure it will soon.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Every server is online and the backup is also online, so we reduce the downtime and administrative overhead."

"There are many valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X giving many possibilities to complete jobs, particularly with the backup and restore."

"There is no reason for me to rate them other than a 10 out of 10."

"Commvault is a stable product."

"The most valuable feature of Commvault HyperScale X is the automatic nature of its operation. We don't need to worry about sets of documents. It worked automatically, we don't need to think about it. When you set the solution up in a good way, you don't need to worry."

"One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore."

"Commvault has helped us to win some customers against our competitors because we have this solution and they don't have anything like it."

"If we had lost that storage, it would have been a catastrophic loss of scientific data."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is definitely its pricing point."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is definitely its pricing point. Invoicing is simple. It is one price that includes both licensing and retention requirements, which is rare in today's market. That, I believe, is a significant differentiation for them."

Cons

"The solution requires constant attention. Commvault is very complex. We are constantly making adjustments and working through hotfixes, updates, and issues."

"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."

"Command Center definitely gives us a complete view of our data. But finding some of the granular, very small items that we sometimes have to find, such as auxiliary copies for tapes, I still find that it's easier to navigate and, sometimes, only possible to find them using the CommCell tool."

"Just to keep it running is time-consuming. There are five people on my team. Commvault was supposed to be one of the less time-consuming solutions, but in reality it takes 60 percent of our time just to keep it running, and that's not even fine-tuning it; that's just to keep it running."

"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."

"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."

"The workflow has room for improvement."

"It would be a bit unfair to say that it's complex, due to the fact that it supports so many different workloads, however, if there's anything that is a bit of a shortcoming, then it's the fact that there's a bit of complexity involved when dealing with the product."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"They definitely need to improve their reporting."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One of the most interesting aspects is that the licensing model can be modified. We're paying for our licensing by the client, as opposed to the size of the footprint of the backup, which decreased our cost by about 20 percent."

"The tool is cost-effective."

"The solution is licensed based on the number of objects that we're going to back up, and that's a known quantity. As a result, we get predictable costs for our backup requirements."

"We have checked some other products, but we are not testing them because price-wise, Commvault is better than the other solutions."

"The product is cheap."

"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest price, I rate the pricing an eight."

"The tool is affordable."

"There is a bit of cost involved with signing up the entire solution. It's not a cheap solution."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"I believe the MSRP is around $5 or $6 USD per person, per month, and per seat."
