Commvault Cloud and Veritas Alta SaaS Protection compete in the cloud data management category. Commvault Cloud has the upper hand with strong cloud integration, automation, and comprehensive services.

Features: Commvault Cloud offers global deduplication, a single backup service for on-premise and cloud systems, and automation capabilities that enhance efficiency. It supports a broad range of operating systems and applications, allowing for a seamless backup experience across diverse environments. On the other hand, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection features solid backup capabilities, strong security integration, and is suitable for hybrid environments, making it a reliable option for those prioritizing security and hybrid cloud operations.

Room for Improvement: Commvault Cloud could improve by simplifying its complex interface and enhancing its documentation and training resources. Users seek an easier user interface and improved usability.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Commvault Cloud offers versatile deployment options across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments, providing flexibility and highly regarded customer support with quick responses and proactive issue resolution. In contrast, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection, though deployed in public and on-premises environments, has been criticized for technical support delays and limited local support, especially in non-English speaking regions.

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.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance

One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Commvault, we run a single job as a one-pass job, it will run backup and archive in a single job, no need to run two jobs for backup and archive them differently."

"The solution is scalable."

"Commvault gives us a single platform to manage and recover our data. Since we are a research organization, backup is one of the most critical parts of our IT operations and services. Internally, we run it as a managed service, and there is a single console that makes it easy for management to see the performance."

"It never fails. Sometimes we miss a backup, but there's always a reason for it, and it's not the fault of Commvault. In the last three years, we've never had to open a ticket with Commvault."

"Overall, this is a good product and very capable."

"The solution's stability is excellent."

"The product is a reliable solution."

"The product is user-friendly."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."

"I would recommend this solution because it covers the total scope of Office 365."

"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."

"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."

"It excels in performance and delivery but they are quiet on the market."

"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."

"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."

"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."

More Veritas Alta SaaS Protection pros

Cons

"Virtual machines backup window in GUI is not user friendly. Some improvements should be done to better user experience."

"Their single pane of glass solution is daunting at first. It's not the easiest interface but, as with anything that you use, eventually you'll get better and better at it."

"With so many features, sometimes you cannot find what you are looking for in the interface and you have to dig into books online to find out how to solve an issue."

"This product is overly complex to operate and run."

"What I need is deeper CLI documentation for both QCommand and SQL queries."

"There is room for improvement in the Knowledge Base and error reporting."

"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."

"We get an alarm if a lot of files are deleted, for example. That could look like ransomware, even if it is not."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."

"Other people will prefer this solution because they're used to it. However, from my point of view, you have more breaks, more failures on it than you will with Commvault."

"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."

"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."

"Licensing has been a struggle."

"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."

"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."

"The program is quite expensive and I am not impressed by their technical support."

More Veritas Alta SaaS Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing has improved. It is simplified compared to the way that it was a few years ago. It is fairly straightforward and pretty easy to articulate to customers, which is handy."

"I looked at this at the beginning of the year and I don't remember what the prices were for all the other services, but I thought that Metallic's was fair. It was also highly rated, which was even more important than cost because I need a reliable, secure, backup method."

"There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."

"The solution is expensive. The subscription is based on a monthly basis. There are additional costs that vary depending on the size of the backup."

"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 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."

"It is a bit more than other products, but when you consider the time savings, it is saving money."

"It was not very popular because of its previous cost, but they have been working on the pricing, and now anyone can afford to use Commvault. They changed the modeling criteria for their pricing. Previously, there was only the capacity modeling based on your content capacity. In this case, they would give you a license and you would have to pay it. Now, most of the environment is virtualized so you can have the best CPU, VMs, etc. You buy whatever you need and pay for what you need."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."

"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."

"The program is quite expensive."

"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."

"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
