Unified data protection has simplified hybrid backups and has improved ransomware recovery speed
Commvault Cloud's best feature in terms of protection is that it provides data protection and accomplishes its job effectively. It offers a unified approach to backup across all environments, including on-premises, public cloud, and SaaS applications such as M365 and Salesforce. I also use it for virtual machines and databases. The unified protection approach helps my team manage different environments effectively. Before Commvault Cloud, I used a separate VM backup tool to protect the VMware environment. For database backup, I had to use the native tool or backup scripts. For the cloud part, I had to use the native AWS or Azure cloud tools. After moving to Commvault Cloud, a single policy or a set of backup policies is applied across virtual machines, databases, workloads, and cloud workloads. I can protect my environments, which reduces manual configuration errors. Regarding visibility, it provides one dashboard to manage and centralize monitoring of all workloads. It is very easy to track backup success or failure. I can see the SLA compliance and storage usage without needing to jump between tools to check or have visibility of it. Regarding the recovery experience, the recovery time has been reduced drastically by using Commvault Cloud. It has simplified cloud management and provides easier manageability to manage retention policies, encryption policies, and compliance rules. This helps reduce operational workloads. Commvault Cloud has impacted me very positively. It simplifies and unifies data protection across hybrid workloads. Instead of managing multiple backup tools for virtual machines, databases, and SaaS applications, I now have a single platform with consistent policies and centralized visibility. This has really reduced my operational complexity and improved backup reliability. Regarding the cyber resiliency posture, the immutable backups and ransomware recovery workflow give me greater confidence in recovering quicker from potential risks. Commvault Cloud has positively impacted me in several key areas: unified backup management across environments, reduced operational overhead, improved ransomware resiliency, faster recovery times, better visibility for compliance, and easier management of hybrid or cloud workloads.

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

"We have VMware, Hyper-V, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL. We have a lot of different systems, and all of them are supported under one licensing agreement. That's one of the benefits."
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"Commvault provides the status of a backup or restore operation."
"Among the best features are the BMR (Bare Metal Recovery), Live Sync, and IntelliSnap, which is used for snapshots of hypervisor storage. It's predefined so you only need to enable it and it works. I haven't seen anything like this in other backup tools like Veritas NetBackup or Dell EMC or TSM. We will use snapshotting for all our machines."
"The most valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X are all the general functions and the performance."
"Commvault makes it easier to back up new additions to our environment."
"We have multiple workloads, including SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, especially Sybase, as well as file systems, VMs, and Exchange mailboxes. Commvault provides very good support for them."
"The compatibility with other solutions is a key feature; the solution can be configured and integrated with multiple solutions seamlessly."
 

Cons

"The workflow has room for improvement."
"The price could be lower."
"The main area for improvement is that we sometimes experience negative effects from their updates. If they had a larger test area for their updates, that would help."
"The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory."
"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"In a price comparison, definitely Avamar is the winner."
"Adding new users who are non-technical can be a little challenging."
"This is not a very high standard product."
"I must clarify that I can only speak to pricing aspects, not technical features or functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Commvault licensing is a perpetual license so only the support is being renewed yearly."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"The solution is expensive, but it is worth the money."
"The price could perhaps be lower as well."
"The pricing is fairly in line with the other products we've compared it with recently. We do spend more on it than we did in our Backup Exec days, but it's fairly competitive with some of the other best-in-class data protection platforms."
"Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
