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.

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

"The recovery features are useful. It is easy to recover data. If something happens, we can easily recover data. We have faced ransomware issues twice, and we recovered because of Commvault."

"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."

"The most valuable feature is the deduplication ratio. It saves most of our space and reduces the network traffic."

"We switched to Commvault because we were looking to centralize management. This reduced IT administrator time as well as providing stability and reliability for data backups in a single console."

"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 most valuable feature is sharing data sets like they're in a private cloud. We call it our "private cloud" because we can share anything that is inside our backup set with our colleagues or with other people, and yet, everything is still in Belgrade, in Serbia. It's not somewhere else on cloud servers. Everything is in our environment."

"It runs all the tests and emails us the reports. We take daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots, and I integrate the storage snapshot scripts with the Commvault workflow. The Commvault workflow runs all the scripts and sends us the reports. It also features cloud-side reports and workflows. Commvault has many tools for backing up, restoring, and archiving things, but we use another service for our archives."

"We now have the capability to recover a virtual machine without relying on the NFS system, but instead are able to use certain features provided by Commvault."

More Commvault Cloud pros

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

"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."

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

"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."

"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."

"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."

"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."

More Veritas Alta SaaS Protection pros

Cons

"They could work on the implementation of the features."

"Its competitor, Veeam, includes backup and replication in the same product. I don't know if Commvault has it or not, but they should if they don't."

"The tool should revise its licensing."

"The product does not provide an option to save a copy of data on-premises."

"The workflow has room for improvement."

"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."

"Commvault could make the product more cost-effective on the public cloud side. We are using this solution to back up whatever is still on-prem. We are not using it to back up what is on the public cloud because we have a native backup solution for that, which is provided by the vendor. As our footprint gets bigger, we will continue to evaluate this, but the last time that we did a cost analysis, the cost was not comparable to the solution that public clouds are offering."

"The local support could be improved."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."

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

"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."

"Technical support can be improved."

"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."

"They should review the cost aspect of the subscription for Veritas Alta SaaS Protection because customers are going for the cheaper storage, which doesn't give those features in terms of dedup ratios."

"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."

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

More Veritas Alta SaaS Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."

"You have to pay for the licenses and the hardware you need for the Commvault environment. If you don't have all the hardware, you have to buy it, which can cost a few million. In the end, it's vital to protect our data, so the price isn't an issue."

"Compared with other backup technologies, Commvault is a bit more costly, but we are satisfied with the support, the services, and the features that we get with Commvault."

"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."

"Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers."

"The price is not cheap, but when you compare it to the other products they are all almost the same level in terms of price."

"The complete license gives us options for all the features. Commvault does not license based on storage or the management components. It can integrate with any storage vendor. That means that when we are out of storage and need more, we can integrate without additional licensing. In my opinion, Commvault needs to reduce the licensing cost by 20 to 40 percent to make it cost-efficient."

"HyperScale X is expensive."

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."

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

"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
