Ankit Gagneja - PeerSpot reviewer

Hybrid backup strategy has improved recovery orchestration and now supports flexible DR planning
I think improvements could be made in Commvault Cloud. Lately what I have seen is that there are AI capabilities that different data protection organizations are coming up with, which basically revolves around tiering of not frequently accessible data to glacier kind of storage, plus bringing in a high level of compression and deduplication capabilities. All those features I believe are there in other customers and they are bringing in new use cases from the AI perspective which I have not recently seen in Commvault. I have seen that Dell does have such features. We recently pitched a solution to the customers where we talked about data tiering and the other AI use cases, identifying the data by itself and autonomously taking decisions on how to tier the data between the different storage classes that we have. Those kind of capabilities that we have proposed to the customer as far as the partner solutions are concerned. I would like to see AI capabilities in Commvault Cloud. The rest of the features pretty much align with the other enterprise solutions that we have in the market. It is just the AI capability that is being asked by the customers as well as that I see missing with Commvault.

Simple and flexible backup solution
I mainly use Cloud Connect as a cloud backup repository Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options. I've been using Cloud Connect for about four years. We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning, but these were fixed after…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Commvault helps our administrators to minimize the time they spend on the backup tasks and that gives them time for other projects."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"I recommend this solution to others."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"Commvault is also a very reliable backup solution; this is one of our main use cases."
"It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it."
"Overall, this is a unified solution and it's wonderful."
"It is just about as flexible as you can get; simple. You can put it anywhere you want. You can put it on-prem or in your cloud. I could see where a team that's looking for more of a follow the bouncy ball type of solution might get a little confused. "Oh, no. What do you mean I might have to do it this way or I can't do it that way?" Sometimes, people just want to be told what to do. For an enterprise environment, like we are at NDOT, everything we do is not standard. It is not industry standard; it is not normal. We have all kinds of one-offs. We do need flexibility in the solutions that we get. I will say that Metallic has been extremely flexible in that sense, where we are able to follow the bouncy ball if we wanted to. Obviously, we didn't. We did it our way and Metallic, as a whole solution, provided that to us with no issues."
"I am happy with their support, they are fast, and their response is very good."
"I like this solution and recommend it to clients."
"I've found flexibility to be the most valuable feature, and I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."
"It's a stable solution."
"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center."
"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."
"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It hasn't given us any issues so far."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."
"Commvault has two management dashboards. The first is the CommCell Console, which is Java-based, and the second is Command Center. We don't always find all the features we need in the Command Center and we need to go through the Java console, and sometimes features are only on the Java console."
"We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign."
"I would like to have a manager-level dashboard to review the backups. This is not from an administrative perspective where you can see the details of the execution. Rather, it would only show the percentage of completeness for each one."
"Could be easier to implement."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"There is room for improvement in the data center application running on the cloud for the platform."
"The main area for improvement is that we sometimes experience negative effects from their updates. If they had a larger test area for their updates, that would help."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."
"The dashboard could be more intuitive."
"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."
"We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers."
"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure."
"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cheap."
"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."
"It is cheaper than Veeam."
"It is a bit more than other products, but when you consider the time savings, it is saving money."
"There is a bit of cost involved with signing up the entire solution. It's not a cheap solution."
"HyperScale X is expensive."
"Based on the customer's needs, their pricing and model is very confusing sometimes. You need to check with their sales to make sure you are getting the right pricing on whatever you are using. I know that they have simplified a lot regarding the licensing model nowadays, but it is good to always double check and make sure it has everything that you really need."
"Its cost is reasonable, but anybody else can do better benchmarking."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
