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.

Has enabled seamless disaster recovery with virtual rollovers and rapid failovers between systems

Improving Precisely Assure MIMIX is going to be a really hard one; over the years, the tech support started off kind of rough but gradually got better and better as I used it often, being on a first-name basis with many of the customer service reps because of having to call with issues that they were always able to resolve fairly quickly. I would have liked to see more reporting, maybe automation of reports, but as far as integration with other systems, I always used Precisely Assure MIMIX on an AS/400, iSeries, IBM iSeries machine, and I cannot speak to using it on any other device.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its compression and deduplication allow us to store more backups and save storage space. The reporting is great; we are able to obtain critical business reports and infrastructure/usage information very easily."

"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."

"With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn."

"People are going to be very impressed with that kind of support that they get from Commvault."

"This product has allowed us to recover data when we've had issues."

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

"We are finally back with Commvault, and we now have a 100% compliance backup solution."

"Overall, we have been impressed by the features of the solution and by the responsiveness of Commvault's support, we like the product and we feel we made a good decision in acquiring Commvault and working with them, and we are pretty happy."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"I see that the seamless synchronization feature is helpful for your organization or your customers' organization."

"Database replication is most valuable; it is multi-platform, so it can replicate from a variety of different database types to a variety of different database types, and it is a relatively stable database replication product."

"Precisely Assure MIMIX has positively affected our organization by reducing downtime because it takes 30 minutes from swapping from one box to another; production is back up and running within 30 minutes, and a lot of times, I could get it down to 20 minutes."

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward and simple."

Cons

"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."

"Tape backups can be unreliable, restores are slow and they are expensive to manage."

"I really struggled to configure HyperScale X as there was a lack of detailed documentation."

"It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement. Commvault could increase the training it provides to customers and partners."

"The HTML interface is a remarkable improvement. However, there are still some features that are not available in that interface that are available in the Java console, but I'm sure that will come with time."

"What I need is deeper CLI documentation for both QCommand and SQL queries."

"The solution requires improvement with its connection and bandwidth."

"The most common feedback I get in terms of Commvault is that it can be complex."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"There is certainly a strong lobby in the company that feels that by having so many copies of the same set of data throughout the organization, we are going in the wrong direction."

"It does data manipulation language (DML) replication, but it does not do data definition language (DDL) replication. In my opinion, it is a disadvantage. It would be nicer if it was able to do both DML and DDL. I'm not 100% certain of this, but it seems Oracle Golden Gate does both DML and DDL. MIMIX only does DML, and it would be very nice if they included DDL replication. This is one feature that would be very helpful to have."

"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"One thing I see as a drawback in Precisely Assure MIMIX is that deployment is quite complex and it takes time."

"The pricing was a little steep; I believe it could have been lower, but for what I received as far as the service, the price is pretty close."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is quite expensive when compared to other applications in the market. Its license is completely based on workload capacity. If I buy a license for 100 terabytes, I can back up anything. I can back up any platform, technology, or application, which is an advantage. Previously, we had to buy an agent for a particular application, and the cost was different for each agent. Now, the cost is completely based on the storage capacity. The license for one terabyte can cost around $1,700 for backing up anything from your environment."

"Originally, it was really attractive when we were deployed on-prem. They have since built and moved it to the cloud, which I am a big fan of. I have all my security tools in the cloud, but it came with a significant increase in pricing. We ended up negotiating a better price because we have been a long-term customer, and I have also spoken on their behalf quite a few times, but if I have to buy it at its current rate, I am not sure if I would be a customer. It is expensive."

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

"The solution is bundled with hardware licensing. If I want to increase the hardware, I have to buy exactly the same because it's based on the core hardware license. We cannot tell discount because we have an NDA signed with Commvault because of my academic license. The solution is more expensive than NetBackup and Veeam but cheaper than Rubrik."

"I would rate the price of Commvault Cloud seven out of ten with ten being the cheapest."

"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."

"The solution is highly-priced."

"The license for Commvault HyperScale X is paid annually."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"The licensing provides the access to support. I do know that there's an annual charge for being able to call into their support line and get a technical team from Precisely to assist with any issues we may have. I don't think there are any additional costs other than what we incur internally in terms of the infrastructure that we need to run and operate the product."

"The cost of the product is too high."
