Ankit Gagneja - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud Solution Architect at Tata Consultancy
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.

Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable
The initial setup is very straightforward. It is easy. There are no great difficulties when setting up the solution. Even the configuration is simple. The deployment itself takes only a couple of days. It only takes one person to install it. You do not need a big team. We had an engineer manage it. The product does not require any maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it."
"The most valuable feature of Commvault HyperScale X is the automatic nature of its operation. We don't need to worry about sets of documents. It worked automatically, we don't need to think about it. When you set the solution up in a good way, you don't need to worry."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"Commvault is a stable product."
"Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."
"Archiving and storage are very good."
"Backup and archive with a single window, with a single backup job. You only need to type "c"."
"It helped us reduce the number of servers that are required for a stable operation."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is still one of the most cost-effective backup solutions on the market and offers very good value for money."
"Replication without network changes."
"Technical support is perfect, they are very helpful."
"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products, and we've found this to be a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."
"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."
"I like this solution and recommend it to clients."
"The best part about this solution is that it just works."
 

Cons

"Endpoint backup."
"There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console."
"This product is overly complex to operate and run."
"Competitive products have emerged with less cost, making the pricing a challenging factor."
"The user creation and management capabilities could be improved."
"It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be."
"I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly."
"Compared to Rubrik, MongoDB Data Protector, and NetBackup, Commvault is better. The licensing team was quite tricky recently because they stopped the unlimited files for that license. Commvault made a bank of 500GB only, a node-based license can take it, which is disappointing. Reporting needs to be more granular. Also, there should be a showback of data being backed up, and the backup cost to share the cost internally with the department."
"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is."
"We need the solution to offer IT storage."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."
"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."
"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could always be lower."
"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."
"Everyone else offers the subscription-based model nowadays, while Commvault Complete Data Protection still has the traditional license model, where you must buy a set of licenses. You pay for one hundred licenses even if you only use fifty virtual machines, so the licensing model needs improvement."
"We like that there is no extra cost for SharePoint, Teams, or OneDrive. It is all mimicking Microsoft's model. Every user has one terabyte of space. When users start using OneDrive, everybody has one terabyte that will be backed up included in the price."
"It is cheaper than NetBackup, but its price can be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Commvault's license fee is per server-based."
"HyperScale X is expensive."
"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."
"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
"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."
"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
