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.

Immutable protection has secured critical workloads and delivers strong automated recovery options

I think immutable protection is the most valuable feature; that is something the customer will resonate with. I think AI-powered insights for predictive analytics is an attractive topic because people like to learn more about it, but I do not think right now people are ready to spend money on just these features. I think it is an add-on that customers appreciate, but it is not a special or separate topic that the customer will prioritize. I think Rubrik Go's capability to automate data management tasks is a good topic to discuss with customers right now, but I do not think at the moment it would be a separate initiative that the customer already has a budget for. I think Rubrik Go is effective in enabling workload recovery and provisioning, but it has yet to be proven with our customer implementation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We evaluated other options, but Commvault is a very complete solution."

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

"Scalability, as well as stability, are a couple of important parts of this solution."

"We use Commvault Command Center for backups and restores and for the creation of new clients. We use it for other functionalities as well. In terms of VMware, I can go directly to the Command Center, enter VMware, and I can search it directly. Command Center is very useful and it can be used for more advanced techniques."

"Commvault can support any workload that you have in your environment."

"In the VM, we have Live Recovery, Live Mount, and Live Sync."

"With Commvault it is a single job, which does both backup and archive, so it does not touch the data twice."

"We have evaluated three or four cloud-based backup solutions, but the other ones in the market didn't even come close to Commvault."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"Clients find the cost very good and enjoy the large cloud compatibility."

"The automation capabilities streamline our operations significantly."

"Rubrik Go is both very scalable and stable."

"The solution's most valuable feature is Sensitive Data Discovery."

"I think Rubrik Go is pretty good overall."

"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and performance."

"In terms of stability, the product is good."

"The solution is easy to install; our team just has to put together the plan, give it to IT and let them handle it. Other solutions are quite complex, but this is much simpler."

More Rubrik Go pros

Cons

"The workflow has room for improvement."

"Commvault tries to integrate with every new product that's coming out on the market. Sometimes it makes everyone's life easier if it works well. If not, we don't know where the error is coming from, and it has a lot of bugs."

"Commvault Cloud currently lacks support for backing up Proxmox environments, which limits its functionality."

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

"Sometimes there are people, personnel, that are not that well educated. Sometimes I know more than the person I'm talking to and they are supposed to be helping me with technical problems."

"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."

"It takes a lot of steps to implement backups. We have to do a lot of planning to make the solution work properly. It takes some time to create every policy. It's an easy task, but there are many steps. It's not as easy as using Veeam."

"They should move the CommServe outside of Windows machines and the database should be distributed among servers. It's still a single point of failure."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."

"I think integration with multiple cloud support could be an additional feature that would make the product even better."

"The tool's pricing needs to be improved."

"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."

"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."

"If you're going for Rubrik, you are not opting for the tape library because Rubrik doesn't have the fiber cable connected to the tape library."

"There have been occasional issues with the user interface needing certain necessary information, requiring us to contact support for clarification."

"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."

More Rubrik Go cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a little too high. I would like to get more of a consumption model or more of a periodic true-up type of model that is more friendly to the ups and downs that you may have in your data instead of locking into multi-year agreements."

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

"One of the issues with backup vendors is that they overprice, or overvalue their products."

"Using a subscription-based license has been advantageous."

"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."

"Our yearly cost is around €20,000... The cost is based on the number of users and the amount of data. They sell it per terabyte."

"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."

"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."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."

"This is a very costly solution."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."

"The solution is reasonably priced."

"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."

"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."

"It's an expensive product if you compare it to traditional backup solutions; however, if you compare it as a total cost of ownership for a solution, it is not."
