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.

Point-in-time restore capabilities are built into the storage appliance
Our first impression when we were introduced to the product was very good. I still think it's very good. They are truly different. The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that. I'd rate it a 10 out of 10 because it does everything that we have asked it to do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"The most valuable feature is the ability it gives me to automate backups well and consistently, and to follow up on them as well. It also provides consistent recovery processes. Whenever we have needed to do a restore, it has worked quickly and efficiently."
"Commvault helps to ensure broad coverage with the discovery of unprotected workloads. This is important. From the moment that we set it up, we mostly have customers telling us what they need to back up. Then, you can list the machines that are not yet protected. Sometimes, we can see that they are unaware of this, and say, "We didn't know that those servers were not protected yet," or "We did not back them up yet.""
"Commvault is unique in the backup and recovery category because if you are using Commvault as a backup, you don't need any additional software to have an archiving solution."
"Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive."
"As a company, we faced ransomware attacks twice, and both times, we recovered because of Commvault's backup and recovery solution."
"Commvault allows us to use one product for almost everything; it's better than the competitors."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"From sales to support, the company has been extremely impressive, far exceeding our expectations."
"I like the Reduxio TimeOS, specifically. That feature's pretty good. I haven't seen it in any other product. They're the only ones who have it."
"It has a very intuitive interface, it integrates more smoothly with our steps. With a different product from a different manufacturer, there are a lot more steps required to set up a volume, to make it available in VMware and to utilize it there."
"Reduxio delivers a self-contained system with all of the features rolled in and functional."
"Enables multiple hosts access to the virtual machines by providing for moving VMs due to maintenance or host failure."
"One of the beautiful parts about it is the whole user interface. It's almost too simple. As an IT professional, you think, "Where are the works, how am I assured that this is actually protecting my data?" The ease of use in terms of deployment, and also the metrics that it feeds back to you are also among the many attractive features of the whole platform."
"The ability to target existing remote storage with NoRestore is going to allow us to leverage existing storage without an increased financial investment."
"I like the performance. I think it's what you call a hybrid SAN. It has solid state drives and, of course, regular optical drives, which would make performance a lot better, faster."
 

Cons

"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."
"Adding new users who are non-technical can be a little challenging."
"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."
"HyperScale X is not user-friendly. There are many settings that have to be done on your own."
"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."
"We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign."
"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"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."
"The only thing that I'd like to see, at some point in time, is having the storage array being able to detect a ransomware attack. When you get hit by a ransomware it rewrites every block in your guest's virtual machine. So there should be a way for them to be able to detect that: "Hey, this is unusual, to see every block of this guest being rewritten all at one time," and then flag that as potential malware or ransomware."
"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"Scalability is a little unusual. We came from the NetApp world where, if you needed more disk space, you just added more drives into the chassis, whereas with Reduxio, if you need more disk space, you have to buy a new chassis."
"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious.​"
"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."
"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."
"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine. Everything has rights, meaning that there's either all control or no delegated control. So to sum that up, it would be a feature request for delegated management in the administrative console."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost is reasonable, but anybody else can do better benchmarking."
"The price is not cheap, but when you compare it to the other products they are all almost the same level in terms of price."
"HyperScale X is expensive."
"It is a bit more than other products, but when you consider the time savings, it is saving money."
"Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
"The solution is expensive, but it is worth the money."
"It would not be affordable for small to medium size organizations."
"The product is very competitive for pricing in some countries because it is possible to set up Commvault hardware with other vendors using its certification."
"They are very competitive in pricing, so I would definitely recommend Reduxio."
"I think that the only issue that I would like to see an improvement in would be the price."
"All of their new features that were released following our purchase are free of charge. For example, we are about to upgrade getting cloud integration for free."
"Only one device is sold. Negotiate the initial storage, but you can start small and move up with ease. Negotiate."
"Depending on your cost of data loss, one ransomware or accidental deletion could pay for a Reduxio appliance."
"They have very competitive pricing and were able to work within our budget constraints as a public school."
"One of the key selling points of the Reduxio was that it really is fully licensed for the unit. There are no additional licenses needed for the product, which really helps scalability. There were no additional options to purchase, per se. They were already wrapped into the product."
"You want the best, you've got to pay for the best, that's all. In terms of licensing, just work with your VAR. The features, overall, were just too good to pass up, even though it comes at a premium."
