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.

A powerful tool for litigation support services, such as production processing to meet client requirements
LAW PreDiscovery can simplify its interface and offer a cloud-accessible version tailored to customers. We often use other cloud-based document review software alongside LAW PreDiscovery to meet specific needs. This interchangeability allows us to handle specialized export requests more effectively. There also needs to be a more straightforward process for upgrading licenses without contacting support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Commvault integrates well with all types of operating systems and supports heterogeneous environments."
"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."
"Commvault software is a single platform where you can enable whatever you want to use, like endpoint protection, and you can enable those licenses on a single platform screen, which is where I see the value add because it is a single management tool."
"The expanse of the decoys that they have is valuable. They cover everything on the corporate side that you would think of, such as Windows, Linux, and even applications like SAP. They also go into the OT environment and emulate OT devices as well."
"Great archive feature, OnePass, for the file system and Exchange servers."
"From a real-life experience, I can say it cut down the time our customers spent on backup tasks by about 60 percent."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"It provides us a good holistic view of everything that we have backed up so far. It also provides us all the recovery points. If we look at an an object that has been backed up, we can tell how many retention copies it has, how far we can go, and recover any data, if needed."
"I've found the ability to customize exports and indexing in LAW PreDiscovery to be the most valuable feature. It allows us to meet our customers' specific needs effectively."
"The sourcing and the detailed background checklist are the most valuable features of this solution."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more customizable reports. I have reports going right now, but the daily report, for example, shows something like 40 jobs that ran when there are just a few endpoints on there. I'd like to just know if the endpoint was successfully backed up, not how many times. More customizable reports would be nice to have."
"If I have an issue, it will indeed take more time to receive a response because they have limited resources, but otherwise, Commvault Cloud has reasonable support, although they will not come on-site and it will be remote support."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"Adding new users who are non-technical can be a little challenging."
"Support for this product needs to be improved because I have seen a couple of cases where it is taking more than the required time to solve issues."
"I would like Commvault to have a feature for cybersecurity threats, e.g. securing the target backup repository. Commvault just started testing and releasing this feature, but it needs to be stabilized."
"When we started using Commvault, we felt that there were some technical issues with managing it, but we are comfortable enough with managing it now. There were many issues, like index corrupting, when we first started, but all those issues were resolved by the Commvault tech team."
"There could be improvements to the backup failures."
"LAW PreDiscovery can simplify its interface and offer a cloud-accessible versiontailored to customers. We often use other cloud-based document review software alongside LAW PreDiscovery to meet specific needs. This interchangeability allows us to handle specialized export requests more effectively. There also needs to be a more straightforward process for upgrading licenses without contacting support."
"If these details, photos, dates of birth, and so on are not possible to include, I believe it would be much more efficient if multiple people could log in using the same email address, as we can in some other programs."
"If you have a heavy workload, you wouldn't be able to complete the research properly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cheap."
"There is a bit of cost involved with signing up the entire solution. It's not a cheap solution."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery is perhaps the best value for our money that I have seen in a backup product."
"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."
"...the battle came down to pricing, as well as some small features, and Commvault was the best in all the criteria."
"The cost of an integrator license is moderate and its features cover most customers."
"The license is paid on an annual basis and the price is reasonable."
"Compared with other backup technologies, Commvault is a bit more costly, but we are satisfied with the support, the services, and the features that we get with Commvault."
"LAW PreDiscovery licenses are pretty costly and are on a yearly subscription basis. Before committing to LAW, it's crucial to calculate and ensure that you'll see a return on investment."
