Inexpensive, easy to configure, good support, and it is easy to scale up when needed
The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with. Whether you're working on the appliance itself, or you're working on the cloud, it is basically the same interface. It got to the point where when we needed to recover a file, we didn't look at the backup solution anymore. Instead, we went right to the Datto Backupify. Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes. With this device, you're capable of logging into the interface or through an IP address to access the data that is stored on it. Recovery can be just a matter of spinning up a virtual machine or doing a full bare metal recovery, replacing the entire hardware-based server.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I'd recommend it it's a really good, straightforward, easy use system, with no hidden strings."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the fact that users themselves can self-provision and recover."
"Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with."
"The product alerts the security team about threats."
"Complete Data Protection is convenient because you can manage various types of databases, and it's pretty easy to set it up."
"It never fails. Sometimes we miss a backup, but there's always a reason for it, and it's not the fault of Commvault. In the last three years, we've never had to open a ticket with Commvault."
"This is a very stable product."
"The SaaS offering is the most valuable feature because it provides endpoint, Office 365, and core server backup."
"We prefer Commvault because they are backup agents who have a vision about what we can do with applicable backup solutions."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"Overall, this is a unified solution and it's wonderful."
 

Cons

"Not a ten because there's always room for improvement."
"The device does not allow you to do multiple backups over the whole environment."
"The support needs more improvement. I feel that the support is not yet up to the mark, with not enough professional engineers to provide assistance."
"The navigation of it needs improvement in terms of the UX."
"The stability of the tool could be improved."
"We get an alarm if a lot of files are deleted, for example. That could look like ransomware, even if it is not."
"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."
"It is supposed to be one of the least time-consuming solutions but in reality, it consumes 60% of their time."
"Our main pain point is that some of our hardware is old."
"I need documentation for Azure backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The costs were about $1,000 USD to buy the unit in the first place, and then between $250 and $300 per year for support."
"It was not very popular because of its previous cost, but they have been working on the pricing, and now anyone can afford to use Commvault. They changed the modeling criteria for their pricing. Previously, there was only the capacity modeling based on your content capacity. In this case, they would give you a license and you would have to pay it. Now, most of the environment is virtualized so you can have the best CPU, VMs, etc. You buy whatever you need and pay for what you need."
"The tool is cost-effective."
"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."
"The cost for Commvault is very expensive, even support is very expensive. The full cost of the solution is 50,000 INR per year, which includes 20 VM backups, server data backup, and 200 desktop and laptop agent licenses."
"Hands down, Metallic provides us with more predictable costs for our backup requirements. You are getting what you pay for. If they are charging you X amount of dollars at that point, that is what you are going to pay. So far, I have not seen any hidden costs or any kind of gotchas. It is pretty cut-and-dry. They will let you know, "Hey, you are going to use our storage and it will cost you this much. You are going to use your storage, then we are going to charge you this much to backup.""
"The solution is expensive. However, there are no additional costs involved. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The tool is affordable."
"We have checked some other products, but we are not testing them because price-wise, Commvault is better than the other solutions."
