Commvault Cloud Reviews

Commvault is an enterprise-level backup solution that can use multiple agents at various sites. We have many customers, including banks and hospitals.

Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux. 

It takes a lot of steps to implement backups. We have to do a lot of planning to make the solution work properly. It takes some time to create every policy. It's an easy task, but there are many steps. It's not as easy as using Veeam. 

I have used Commvault for nine months as a supporting engineer.

I rate Commvault eight out of 10 for stability. 

Setting up Commvault is complex and it involves many steps. After you configure the storage, you need to set your client's policies and add a proxy server if necessary. 

I prefer selling Commvault to enterprises. It's appropriate for a company that has a headquarters plus four or five offices. It isn't ideal for a small business. The price is okay if you have the budget of a large enterprise. Aside from the license, the only additional cost is cloud fees if you are using cloud infrastructure. 

I rate Commvault Backup and Recovery 10 out of 10. I would recommend Commvault if a company has huge backup needs and a sufficient budget. If the price isn't an issue, you shouldn't compromise. 

We use the Commvault HyperScale X to manage complex infrastructure, so deployments are fast.

Commvault HyperScale X is also a good choice for regulations that require the backup system to be isolated from the rest of the infrastructure. If there is an issue with the software, we open a support ticket with the software vendor. We then escalate the case to the hardware support team.

Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions.

I have been using Commvault HyperScale X as a reseller for five years.

I rate the product’s stability an eight out of ten.

The scalability is very good, but there is a limitation on expanding the cluster to scale to a higher level. We have smaller and enterprise-level clients. I rate its scalability a nine out of ten.

We have a team of four to manage support. We have many paid credits for networking and application support.

Positive

The initial setup is moderately easy. I rate the process a seven on a scale of ten. The deployment time depends on the environment. It takes around four to eight hours to complete.

I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten.

If the customer needs to protect five terabytes of data, they will need five licenses if they need to upgrade to make devices flexible or create this model. Many small customers can start with a 10TB appliance, and enterprises can scale up to 50 TB. The appliance is compatible with various hardware platforms, including LG, Lenovo, IBM, Dell, etc.

I recommend the Commvault HyperScale X for its enhanced quality, performance focus, and data isolation. I recommend looking for support for various solutions from a single vendor. Overall, I rate it a seven out of ten.

We use the solution for mail archiving and sync application features. We can back up the virtual environment with its help.

They should provide more integration with OpenShift for the solution. Also, its support could be better.

We have been using the solution for five years.

I rate the solution's stability as an eight.

We have four solution users in our organization. I rate its scalability a nine.

The solution's technical support team resolves the queries efficiently. However, it takes time to respond.

Positive

I have used IBM Spectrum Protect before. I have attended training sessions and implemented them as well.

The solution's initial setup process is complicated. One needs to know the product in-depth for easy deployment. It takes a couple of hours but depends on the type of environment. Also, one executive with good knowledge can conduct its maintenance process efficiently.

The solution's cost is reasonable. I rate its pricing a nine.

I recommend the solution to others and rate it as an eight.

I am a certified administrator with Commvault. 

Commvault is used for recovery and disaster recovery. I configure HyperScale for my clients in Brazil.

The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates.

Overall, the support, pricing, and interface are all good.

The solution requires improvement with its connection and bandwidth.

I have been using Commvault HyperScale X for five years.

I would rate Commvault Hyperscale X a nine out of ten.

I am using Metallic for backing up Microsoft 365.

The solution has helped our business.

The most valuable feature of Metallic is its flexibility and user-friendly.

The integration of Metallic could improve. It would be a benefit if Metallic could integrate with multiple applications or platforms.

In the future, the solution could add more features to help end-users be efficient.

I have been using Metallic for a few weeks.

Metallic is a stable solution.

I have found the scalability of Metallic to be good.

I found the solution best suited for small businesses.

I found the implementation of Metallic to be simple, I come from a technical background.

I had some assistance from our local reseller for the implementation of the solution.

Metallic is an affordable solution.

I rate Metallic an eight out of ten.

I have not used the solution enough to give it a higher rating.

The solution is used for normal backups, file system level backups, or database backups.

The solution is easy to use and the duplication is quite good.

The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The stability is good for the solution.

In my experience, the solution has been highly scalable.

The technical support has been good.

The setup is complicated and complex. The length of time it will take depends on the environment and how large it is.

It is best to use a consultant to do the deployment.

The solution is not cheap. However, for an enterprise-level solution, the price is comparable to other competitors. It would not be affordable for small to medium size organizations.

I recommend this solution to others. I would advise others wanting to implement this solution to spend some time on the initial setup and once the initial setup is done, then it will be quite easy to use.

I rate Commvault a nine out of ten.

We are a solution provider and Commvault is one of the backup and recovery solutions that we implement for our customers.

We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager. The support for this from Commvault is better than it is with Veritas.

Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage.

We have been using Commvault for one year.

This is a stable product.

I know that we can add nodes to the system, although I don't have much experience with scaling Commvault.

I have experience with several backup and recovery solutions, including product by Veritas.

Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis.

The suitability of this product and my recommendation for using it depend on the environment. Not all backup products are suitable for every environment.

In summary, this is a good product but it would be better if it were easier, and not as complex to use. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Commvault is easy to use, easy to deploy, and easy to update.

I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor. There is a lot of room for customization with Commvault, but we have not done that, so the reports do not work the best for us.

We have virtualization, but sometimes some virtual machines are not backed up.

For us, a system ransomware scenario would be a good solution. This would help us not be nervous about our backup solution if we experience a ransomware attack. 

We have been using Commvault for seven years, since 2014. 

Commvault is a very stable product. 

We are using VMware for virtualization every day. The issue with scalability that Commvault has is that any modifications in virtualization that we make have a direct impact on it.

We do not have a problem with scalability, but I think if we had to restore a large scale of information, it would be a problem because of the time we would have to spend restoring all of our virtual machines. However, we could backup as many as a 1,000 virtual machines very easily. 

Commvault's technical support is good. However, because I am French and not a native speaker, I have a hard time understanding tech support specialists that are from India.  

Before Commvault, we used a French solution. It had issues with backups and was very bad. We had to migrate before we encountered a bigger problem. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

Commvault helped us with the migration. A two-person team was involved in the deployment from our end, a system engineer and a hardware engineer. 

Commvault is too expensive. 

I would recommend this solution. It is a good solution for cloud backup.
