Expandable, steady, and reliable
Pros and Cons
- "It's great for getting data back."
- "The product is a bit complex."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
It is a very stable product. It's reliable.
The product is scalable.
It's great for getting data back.
What needs improvement?
The product is a bit complex.
The price should be reduced more. We'd like to see improvement in the appliances, the OEMs. They have to increase the number of OEMs.
Normally it's available with HP or Lenovo, yet very limited. We are expecting with open-source, with Supermicro, that those kinds of appliances will support as necessary.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for four years, since 2018.

860,168 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is very stable and reliable. The performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We can scale the solution as we need to. The hardware supports any kind of storage.
Everyone is using Commvault. It takes a backup of their endpoint devices, and mostly it's used by the admins to restore, schedule backups, and other things.
We have maybe 700 people on the solution right now.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support is okay. We are mostly satisfied with the level of support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
I cannot say that the solution is straightforward. It's a little complex.
Normally, if it is the on-prem edition of Commvault, you need the expertise to handle the implementation. When it is the cloud, Commvault Metallic, it's very easy.
What about the implementation team?
We handle implementations for clients.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I'm purely technical. I don't deal with the licensing aspect of the product.
I'd rate the product four out of five in terms of affordability. From what I understand, it's not overly expensive.
What other advice do I have?
We are a partner of Commvault. We are an implementation partner.
If a user decides to implement Comvault on-prem, they should select a partner who can support them better with the coordination of Commvault.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. I like the scalability, steadiness, and reliability of the product. We can rely on Commvault for the data. 100%, you will get your data back. That's why we use it.

Reduces servers with centralized integration and offers good reliability
Pros and Cons
- "It helped us reduce the number of servers that are required for a stable operation."
- "They need to integrate configuration screens or videos (free training courses, webinars, demos) so that engineers with little experience can fully exploit the features that are offered or managed within the license that was acquired, and thus have better quality and completely satisfactory experience."
What is our primary use case?
We are a customer service provider. The implementation that we carried out is for a client that wanted to support all the operating systems, applications, and services in the cloud that it has but only with a centralized product, which would additionally allow having Snapshot within the platform in order to speed up the RPO and RTO times that are currently available.
Version 11 was implemented with capacity licensing that allows the integration of an innumerable number of products, limiting only the use of the license.
How has it helped my organization?
It helped us reduce the number of servers that are required for a stable operation. Since previously there were different solutions depending on the product, operating system, application, or database it is within the client and thus able to ensure critical information for the company, derived from that, Commvault allows us to centralize the administration of the data since it has a wide range of products that must support the different critical mission systems that must be protected to offer security.
What is most valuable?
The initial analysis for which the test of the Commvault product was carried out, is derived from the client's need. It had different applications and environments, where, in other circumstances, two or more products of other brands would be implemented depending on the environment (Virtualization, Databases, Public Clouds, and private clouds).
With Commvault the integration of the different products is centralized. Additionally, you can also control storages that are responsible for generating snapshots and control them from the same data management tool, as well as replication and in its latest benefits, security protection against ransomware.
What needs improvement?
So far, the only improvement that has been identified is to keep its documentation updated.
They need to integrate configuration screens or videos (free training courses, webinars, demos) so that engineers with little experience can fully exploit the features that are offered or managed within the license that was acquired, and thus have better quality and completely satisfactory experience, in addition to integrating more products derived from the result of the integration of the first product or license.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is very good and derived from the fact that in all the points of contact that make up the backup environment, there is the possibility of configuring the High Availability of the platform.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a good solution that can grow horizontally to a large number of nodes.
How are customer service and support?
The support is extremely good as they have it separated by levels and types of service with dedicated engineers with advanced knowledge about Commvault and the different applications or products.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, different products were used depending on the product or brand, however, it meant having a dedicated specialist for each product as well as more space in the data center, greater use of servers, storage, networks, etc.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was very simple. Due to the fact that each of the installation phases provides detailed information on the information required to configure or gives you the option to request help, it sends you to the official documentation page to follow up on the Wizard.
What about the implementation team?
We implemented using the in-house team.
What was our ROI?
Within the analysis carried out, it is estimated that in one year the investment generated will be recovered.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It may be a high price, however, the quality of the product gives it an acceptable value.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We also looked into Veeam and Veritas.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

Presales Technical Consultant at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Keeps our customers safe from ransomware, and coverage includes every type of data center environment
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature is Commvault's coverage. It has wide coverage to back up every data center environment. The product can back up OpenStack, OpenShift, and competitive solutions don't have this feature. Commvault can handle backing up any virtual workload or enterprise application."
- "Commvault has two management dashboards. The first is the CommCell Console, which is Java-based, and the second is Command Center. We don't always find all the features we need in the Command Center and we need to go through the Java console, and sometimes features are only on the Java console."
What is our primary use case?
My company is the official distributor of Commvault in Indonesia. Our job is to implement it for our customers and I have installed it for a number of customers. They have various environments: Some are on-premises and some have a cloud environment, and some are using both as a hybrid solution, where they back up from on-premises to the cloud.
We have a Commvault instance within our company as well, and we use it for demos and to back up our environment, such as our VMware database, to the local data center. And we also back up to the cloud.
How has it helped my organization?
Commvault is very helpful to our customers and to our company because ransomware is a nightmare for any business. In some cases, our customers have been running their businesses online and they have experienced a ransomware attack. With Commvault they have been able to resolve the problem by restoring the data from Commvault.
Also, Commvault has an internal snapshot feature that we can use. That reduces the time involved by 10 times, compared to not using this feature.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is Commvault's coverage. It has wide coverage to back up every data center environment. The product can back up OpenStack, OpenShift, and competitive solutions don't have this feature. Commvault can handle backing up any virtual workload or enterprise application.
The solution provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover data across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud locations. This is pretty important because our customers have unique architectures. Some only have an on-prem data center, and some only have things on the cloud, while in some cases our customers have both. In the latter case they have data on-premises, but they will also use the cloud for DR. Commvault makes it very simple, with its single management for backup of all environments. This is one of the things that makes it a very useful backup solution. We don't need to go with a different cloud backup solution. We can leverage one solution to back up all the environments.
Another strong feature of Commvault is that we can recover something to another platform. If we backup VMware, we can restore it to, say, Nutanix, or to AWS. This feature helps our customers to move a data center or from on-prem to the cloud. It is a very useful feature.
In addition, Commvault isn't locked in to one storage brand, like Hitachi or Pure Storage. This makes it a very good choice, allowing us to leverage any brand to be used as the backup storage.
What needs improvement?
The user interface is complicated for users, but for an engineer or backup operator, it is useful. Still, sometimes users feel that the management dashboard is complicated because they see all the features in the one dashboard. Sometimes users need a simple dashboard to manage the whole environment.
Commvault has two management dashboards. The first is the CommCell Console, which is Java-based, and the second is Command Center. We don't always find all the features we need in the Command Center and we need to go through the Java console, and sometimes features are only on the Java console. Sometimes we don't see what we need on both consoles. For example, we have to use Command Center to back up Oracle EBS, because it's not on the Java console. It would be useful if we had all the configuration features for setting things up in the Command Center, rather than having to go to the CommCell Console.
Also, sometimes, when restoring across platforms, we need more documentation from Commvault.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the Commvault solution for between three and four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is stable for backing up any kind of environment. But sometimes there's a problem with the deduplication. Sometimes the deduplication database is offline.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is different between software and an appliance. If we use an appliance it is simple to scale because we just add more nodes to expand the storage, the compute, or the backup performance. If we use software, we may need to do some manual setup. Adding more media agents can be complex, involving more configuration. Also, you don't have high availability with a software environment. You only get that with an appliance.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support is very helpful. We just open the customer portal to open a case and the support is pretty good from Commvault.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
It is very easy for us to follow the documentation to integrate Commvault and the storage network. Setting it up is very easy because the product runs on Windows. We just follow the documentation, making it pretty easy. We don't have to use the command line to set it up. It usually takes one and a half to two hours to deploy this product.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Some of our customers say that Commvault is a very expensive solution, but Commvault has many features that the competitors don't have. It is not a good choice for a small or medium business, but it is a good choice for enterprise businesses.
We have a backup storage sizer, so we know the amount of storage needed. If the backup storage is too large, we can resize the policy and size the backup volumes and adjust the licensing scheme.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have used other products like Veritas and Rubrik. Commvault is better than the others because it has fast research and development. There are features available with Commvault that the competitors don't have. But Rubrik is very simple when it comes to management, compared to Commvault.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, Commvault has a strong solution with strong features. The problem with it is the management consoles. We need both of them to operate the product. Also, sometimes the pricing is an issue as it can be very expensive compared to other solutions.

Easy to deploy and maintain, stable, and delivers as promised
Pros and Cons
- "It is easy to use and stable. It delivers what has been promised. When it says it can do something, it can actually do it, as opposed to some of its competitors."
- "Its dashboard could be improved to provide a summarized version of all the jobs instead of having to go through each one of them. We should easily be able to glance at all issues. If I had not gone with the on-premise version, I would have had regular reports with the cloud version. It would be an advantage if they increase the compression rate of the backup. I am keeping it on-prem, so I'll need more disks depending on the policies that I have in the retention period. Its price could also be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage."
What is our primary use case?
I used it during a POC, and now, it is in production. We opted to go for the N minus one release and not the latest one.
We use it for the backup of servers. It is also used when users need to take a backup of their laptops or mail archiving.
What is most valuable?
It is easy to use and stable. It delivers what has been promised. When it says it can do something, it can actually do it, as opposed to some of its competitors.
What needs improvement?
Its dashboard could be improved to provide a summarized version of all the jobs instead of having to go through each one of them. We should easily be able to glance at all issues. If I had not gone with the on-premise version, I would have had regular reports with the cloud version.
It would be an advantage if they increase the compression rate of the backup. I am keeping it on-prem, so I'll need more disks depending on the policies that I have in the retention period.
Its price could also be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage.
For how long have I used the solution?
I used this solution for six months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is stable. I haven't experienced any issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable. We have approximately 30 users, but we are also backing up the servers that everyone uses.
How are customer service and technical support?
I have had one call with their technical support, and they were of great assistance. They were really approachable, and they were able to answer the questions.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have been using NetBackup and Veeam. As compared to NetBackup, Commvault is an improvement. NetBackup licenses are expensive as compared to Commvault.
How was the initial setup?
It was pretty straightforward. It took one day to do the installation and put all policies. It was really quick. I did the installation, deployed the agents, and started using it for testing. After successful tests, we decided to go with the solution.
What about the implementation team?
I was accompanied by our business partner, but its implementation was pretty straightforward.
Its maintenance is really easy to do because you have everything in the console. It can be managed by one technical person. It doesn't require much. Because it is stable, there is not much to be done. You just need to enter the jobs that have been run and completed successfully. Every now and then, you might also do a restore.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is cheaper than NetBackup, but its price can be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage. Its licensing is on a yearly basis.
What other advice do I have?
I would definitely recommend this solution to others. We plan to keep using this solution.
I would rate Commvault a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Backup & Recovery Section Head at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees
Scalable with a straightforward setup and good performance
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is very stable and offers a good level of performance."
- "The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
What is our primary use case?
I'm using the backup email feature with the hypervisor backup on VMware. I'm also working with different databases.
What is most valuable?
The initial setup is pretty straightforward.
The solution is very stable and offers a good level of performance.
The product can scale if a company needs it to.
We've noticed that technical support has recently gotten much better.
What needs improvement?
We've had issues with the solution not restoring certain environments. There also issues we find when we want to restore, for example, a cloud environment.
The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market. It really should integrate better with, for example, VMware or Nutanix or Hyper-V. It would be really, really helpful if that were the case.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've dealt with the solution for the last three years or so.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product has been stable. There are no bugs or glitches. So far, it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance is good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product can scale if a company needs it to. It does have the potential to expand as needed.
In our company, we have about 1,300 people using it.
How are customer service and technical support?
When I started to work with Commvault product, it wasn't very good, however, there has been a huge development in service. Their support is now working fine. They're much more helpful and professional. They've come a long way. We're satisfied with the progress they've made.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have also worked with other products, such as NetBackup and Veeam.
The pricing is a place where they all vary. While Commvault is cheaper than Veeam, it's more expensive than NetBackup.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is not overly difficult or complex. It's simple. It's straightforward.
I'm unsure as to how many people are required to maintain the solution. It's not an aspect of the product that falls under my responsibility.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution isn't the cheapest. It's also not the most expensive. It's basically somewhere in the middle. However, it's a fine price. It's what you would expect to pay for a full solution. That said, for some environments, it could be considered a bit expensive.
What other advice do I have?
We are resellers.
I would advise those considering the solution, that, if they use it in conjunction with Nutanix, there may be some limitations. You can't back up, for example, on Nutanix and restore things to Veeam or other environments.
That said, we're mostly satisfied with the solution. I'd rate the product at an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Systems Administrator Team Leader at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees
Excellent technical support, good visualization, and a pretty straightforward setup
Pros and Cons
- "The product is a reliable solution."
- "We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for all infrastructure. We're using it for the five pillars and for database backups and management.
What is most valuable?
The visualization backup is the most important aspect for us. It provides snapshot protection.
The digital application and the compression of the disc at the storage site are great. That's one of the best features of this solution.
Technical support is very helpful.
What needs improvement?
We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines. A few of them, at least. However, we opened a ticket, and then we found out how to troubleshoot this issue and how to do a snapshot backup. We were able to understand exactly what was the root cause of the issue and a solution was provided to us.
We have already submitted a feature enhancement request to Commvault. They are working on it. That's in relation to the Commvault Metallic and is related to the workflow approval. We requested they implement workflow approval, just in case you want to allow, for example, general users to access the Commvault Metallic and browse what mailboxes they need to check if it is approved by the legal department. We can run them independently, this access without even referring back again to the IT division, however, we requested the workflow has to be based on approved access.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for a year and a half at this point.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is a reliable solution. We have experienced only one case where there was a total shutdown and a total disruption of service. This was a weird case. We were able to sort it out and submitted the case for investigation to understand what the root cause might have been. Later on, we had to upgrade a few things. However, since then, we haven't had any issues whatsoever. I'd describe the solution as quite stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In terms of scalability, it is a skill level solution. You can scale up at any time by adding additional nodes.
How are customer service and technical support?
Technical support is always good. Most of the time the call comes from the U.S. They don't have local support. They are always providing remote support in the U.S. and India. Most of the calls come from those two countries, however, we find that we get help mainly from the U.S.
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment was straightforward. We had a proper prerequisites exit sheet. We filled it out properly at the outset and the architecture was very clear. We started with the architecture. We were able to understand all of the components in this hyper-scale design, and we submitted a change request to our infrastructure. We were able to meet all of the requirements on time. We started up the implementation shortly after that.
In the end, it was a straightforward design. There was nothing too complex.
In terms of maintenance, we usually do a health check which is basically a checklist we run through in the morning. The system will still struggle from time to time if there are any recent updates that need to be done. It is a system that does the update by itself, and it shares with you all types of events that need to be taken care of. Therefore, it's pretty automated.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We bought the solution and the agreement was for three years. We simply pay in installments for three years. We'll do the payment at the beginning of every year.
What other advice do I have?
We're just a customer.
We do recommend the solution. However, a company needs to look again into why they need it. With Commvault, you can deploy on-premise or on the cloud. It is compatible with several cloud vendors. However, the deployment depends on what you need it for. For example, if you need to back up Office 365, then there are two solutions from the providers, from Commvault. Recently they have started talking about Commvault Metallic. They started trying to promote it in other regions. We've done a profound study in the Commvault Metallic for our Office 365 in the past. We compared it with two more products. We compared it to a Barracuda email protection and we compared it also with Veeam.
Any company should do the same and run comparisons. They need to know exactly for what purpose do they need to acquire the solution. If it is for Office 365 then there are two solutions for that. One of them is the Commvault Metallic, and it is a SaaS model. The SaaS model is fully manageable. The user will not even look into infrastructure. It will be fully managed by the Commvault team in the background. There is no need to worry about the storage consumption on Azure if you also choose to go with Microsoft Azure cloud. When you need infrastructural backup, then there is the Commvault hyper-scale solution. That's the only available option and is very powerful.
Overall, I would rate the solution ten out of ten. We've been very happy with it so far.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Data Protection Specialist at Tech Mahindra Limited
Seamlessly backs-up and restores data and information
Pros and Cons
- "It's very user-friendly. It supports a wide range of workloads. It's quite easy to use, it's very powerful and it's scalable."
- "We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue."
What is our primary use case?
It's an enterprise backup tool. It is the competitor to Dell and IBM, TSM and Symantec NetBackup, or rather what's called Veritas NetBackup.
It's an enterprise data protection tool. It's almost in the top three or four solutions out there.
We have one environment with 500 servers, and another environment with 1,000 servers.
We definitely plan to continue using Commvault. We basically support the customers, their MSP. We use Dell as our own data center MSP product but we are supporting this for other customers.
What is most valuable?
It's a very good competitor database.
It's very user-friendly. It supports a wide range of workloads. It's quite easy to use, it's very powerful and it's scalable.
It's got the ability to do automation, that's another good thing about it. It's got workflow automation built-in. It enables you to automate certain tasks.
It can create backups, restore, and be used for DR testing. It's got all those features which are better than many other tools out there. It also has good reporting as well.
It has a very easy-to-use interface that allows you to do everything within a single pane of glass — everything is right there. It's superior to many products in terms of its management interface.
What needs improvement?
We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue. For example, if you have, say, 10 million small files with added encryption, and you want to restore them, it can end up taking days to restore them. That is a file-level restoring operation. One option is to go for Image Level backup and restore the entire image, which is much faster. Then you can extract whatever data you want from that image.
IntelliSnap is a storage snapshot application for storage snapshots. The tool is very good but we could not use it because we didn't have compatible storage. That would've helped us a lot because that's one of the very few tools which integrates with lots of storage products out there. It's very flexible, very easy-to-use. We had the VMware vSAN version which is not supported by Commvault IntelliSnap.
The thing about Commvault is there are a lot of moving parts. You have to design it properly for resources, hardware and software, and licensing because you can install it on any of your Intel servers and then you can use any other storage as the destination. It just comes down to proper lower-level design in sizing.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Commvault for the past five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Commvault is quite stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The environment can scale nicely. It's got the ability to scale for multi-node clusters, but you need to ensure that you keep it updated.
How are customer service and technical support?
Commvault support is usually very, very responsive and they always help us quickly resolve any problems that we may have — they are excellent.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very easy, actually. We did it within one day.
What about the implementation team?
We had a professional service engagement with Commvault and they did it in a matter of roughly one day. Implementation and configuration of the policies — it only took one day to set it up and test it.
We needed to have professional assistance from Commvault as it can be a little difficult to deploy. It can be done, but it's always handy to have professional assistance from Commvault factored into your own solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Capacity licensing is very good with Commvault.
What other advice do I have?
I would definitely recommend using Commvault. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Commvault a rating of eight.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Easy to use, good speed performance, and the technical support is strong
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
- "Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault."
What is our primary use case?
We are using it for backing up all of these services in the full infrastructure.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed.
The GUI is easy to use.
The compression and deduplication ratios are very good.
What needs improvement?
The price could be lower.
When I compare it with Dell EMC Networker, they have a feature called persistent binding, which means that the backup would be going through the fiber channels instead of the network. Commvault relies on the compression and deduplication ratio, although they could also utilize the fiber channels. Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Commvault for more than one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I experienced instability only one time, but it was restored.
It's very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's scalable. That's why it's HyperScale.
We have four administrators in our company who are managing the infrastructure.
How are customer service and technical support?
Technical support is very strong.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
When we made a paradigm shift after moving from the EMC network to Commvault, there is a difference when using both of the products. The other one is powerful but it's more complicated. This one is easier.
How was the initial setup?
It's a Commvault HyperScale model, which is easy to scale.
If you refer back to the manual system, it's straightforward and the architecture is very easy to understand. Implementation is easy.
It's based on a HyperScale with three different nodes running on a RedHat operating system.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
If we compare with other products we can recommend Veeam.
Veeam and Commvault are almost the same but Commvault made an announcement EMEA and Commvault now have a fully managed product and they have a backup as a service with unlimited storage.
We are also evaluating Barracuda.
What other advice do I have?
At the moment we are evaluating the additional features in terms of Office 365, backup, and SharePoint to analyze the differences.
Overall, this is a unified solution and it's wonderful.
I would rate Commvault a ten out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

In the field of backup applications, there are various solutions. But certainly, Commvault should be ranked at the top of this list.

What I would emphasize is it is easy to use for users who are not backup administrators and with a single console for all activities.
