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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution’s user interface for managing the on-prem environment is good."

"The 1-Touch recovery feature is helpful for all customers."

"Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature."

"The email archiving feature is very smooth and better than others."

"We can rely on Commvault for the data. 100%, you will get your data back."

"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.""

"Metallic has also saved our organization money on infrastructure costs because the price was amazingly affordable, and we didn't have to create an on-prem solution."

"It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."

"It is very good, and it fits the purpose."

"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."

"The solution is very simple, and management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."

"The solution saved time and money."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."

"The user interface is good."

"It's stable and reliable."

More Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] pros

Cons

"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."

"I would like to see AI capabilities in Commvault Cloud. It is just the AI capability that is being asked by the customers as well as that I see missing with Commvault."

"The pricing could be more flexible in terms of licensing."

"The speed of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is adequate. Microsoft controls the amount of bandwidth that people have when they're using Azure and the O365 environment... If they could work out something with Microsoft to improve the speed, that would help."

"Its dashboard could be improved to provide a summarized version of all the jobs instead of having to go through each one of them."

"Commvault Complete Data Protection meets market standards, but an area for improvement is its licensing model. It would be good if it could use the subscription-based model rather than the traditional licensing model."

"I would like them to keep working on the new web interface to migrate out of the old interface because the old interface is a bit complex. It was driving customers away because of the complexity. If they migrate everything (100 percent of the features), this would make the product be perfect."

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

More Commvault Cloud cons

"At the moment, this solution is not good enough."

"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side."

"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."

"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."

"It could use deduplication features."

"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."

"I rate Veeam Agent for Linus six out of 10."

"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."

More Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"New licensing is easy and affordable."

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

"Commvault is more expensive than Veeam, which is the reason that we are changing to Veeam for cloud environments."

"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 battle came down to pricing, as well as some small features, and Commvault was the best in all the criteria."

"The licensing costs are determined on a yearly basis. It might be around $40,000 or $50,000. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"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

"Licensing costs are monthly."

"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."

"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."

"Price-wise it's good."

"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."

"The costing is very competitive."

"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."

"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
