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.

Provides solid compatibility and integration with multiple solutions while having room for improvement in marketing and promotions
I must clarify that I can only speak to pricing aspects, not technical features or functionality. I am primarily involved in the commercial and management side. I cannot make judgments about backup solutions including Veritas eDiscovery Platform, Commvault, Rubrik, or Veeam. I can only discuss list prices, not discounted prices. I have not received full promotional or marketing information about the product. My review rating for this solution is 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive."
"The solution's interface is easy to use. For manageability, it doesn't matter where the resource is coming from or going to. That's the great power of the Control Panel: It's easy to use and does not matter if you manage on-prem or cloud resources."
"Before Commvault we had one product for backup, one for replication, and a few consoles, and with Commvault it's just one product and one license that is easy to manage and has saved us about 30 percent in storage while enabling our company to accelerate growth."
"We are finally back with Commvault, and we now have a 100% compliance backup solution."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is the encryption which helps save you from ransomware. Because the data is already encrypted, it cannot be encrypted again."
"Go for Commvault. It is a very strong, stable solution."
"Well documented SQL views and customizable reports, together with scripts and workflows provides ability to automate processes and ensure proper controls are in place."
"The compatibility with other solutions is a key feature; the solution can be configured and integrated with multiple solutions seamlessly."
 

Cons

"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."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"When we started using Commvault, we felt that there were some technical issues with managing it, but we are comfortable enough with managing it now. There were many issues, like index corrupting, when we first started, but all those issues were resolved by the Commvault tech team."
"They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays."
"Permissions can be tricky. There is granularity when trying to get people to write permissions to be able to view, backup, and restore."
"The product is expensive."
"Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage."
"Commvault Complete Data Protection would benefit from improving their training resources."
"I must clarify that I can only speak to pricing aspects, not technical features or functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"It is cheaper than Veeam."
"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"Commvault is quite high in terms of pricing and licensing."
"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."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery is perhaps the best value for our money that I have seen in a backup product."
"The solution is expensive, but it is worth the money."
