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

"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"They have a strong development team and are market leaders in the space."
"The product is a reliable solution."
"The rate of duplication is great."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"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."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
 

Cons

"We had some small issues with the reporting, but that was just a matter of fine-tuning the kinds of messages we receive by email. It was a little overwhelming in the initial configuration. So we reviewed our configuration with our partner and customized the reports so that we only get the important reports. I haven't seen any big issues or things that the solution is missing."
"The product's migration process and stability need improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the Knowledge Base and error reporting. I would like to see best practices in the Knowledge Base, and have the ability to diagnose errors without contacting support."
"The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory."
"The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me. My OneDrive is protected by multifactor authentication, and to get the backup to begin behind that multifactor authentication took a little bit of almost customized support, even though I was following the instructions and the videos. That process could have been easier."
"The retention log feature could be an issue for us and can be improved. The backup schedule can also be better in terms of how you set it up."
"There is room for improvement in the data center application running on the cloud for the platform."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"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."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"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."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is highly-priced."
"Using a subscription-based license has been advantageous."
"One of the issues with backup vendors is that they overprice, or overvalue their products."
"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"Commvault is more expensive than Veeam, which is the reason that we are changing to Veeam for cloud environments."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery is priced fairly, and its performance-to-cost ratio is also better than fair."
"The cost of an integrator license is moderate and its features cover most customers."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"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."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The program is quite expensive."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
