Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 3, 2024

Commvault Cloud and Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup are significant players in the cloud backup and recovery market, offering solutions tailored to different organizational needs. Commvault Cloud takes the lead with its rich feature set, providing comprehensive data protection and management capabilities that are particularly attractive for large enterprises.

Features: Commvault Cloud provides global deduplication, cross-platform replication, and a centralized command center that simplifies the monitoring and management of data across various environments. It is designed with a global application database to streamline backup management. In comparison, Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup integrates smoothly with Microsoft 365, providing efficient synchronization and virus detection, although it does not match the extensive features that Commvault offers.

Room for Improvement: Commvault Cloud could enhance its user interface, improve setup processes, and provide better documentation to facilitate easier deployment and management. Users also indicate a need for an improved customer experience and a simplified licensing model. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup could benefit from expanding platform integrations and making file recovery navigation more intuitive, addressing user challenges in finding and restoring specific files efficiently.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Commvault Cloud supports deployment across on-premises, public, private, and hybrid cloud environments, providing flexibility to organizations. Its customer service, while comprehensive, could improve in local language support and response times. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is noted for its ease of use, supporting public and hybrid cloud environments effectively, with streamlined setup processes and responsive customer service.

Pricing and ROI: Commvault Cloud offers a competitive pricing structure with a robust feature set, providing considerable cost-efficiency for enterprises, which results in significant ROI over time due to reduced infrastructure costs and manpower savings. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is priced affordably, appealing to smaller organizations with its straightforward pricing model, though it does not offer the feature breadth of Commvault. While both solutions promise ROI, Commvault's extensive features are ideal for enterprises prioritizing comprehensive data protection, whereas Barracuda serves those valuing cost-efficiency and simplicity.

Reliable backups have protected all cloud data and now provide quick recovery for users

The features include easy setup, easy to use, and unlimited storage. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup has positively impacted my organization by helping us with lost productivity when someone deletes a cloud-stored item and we can retrieve it easily. With wrong creation of Teams and no owners assigned, we get notified. It helps me worry less that in the worst-case scenario, mailboxes and Teams are easily restorable to continue with online learning at a very low risk. It also proves useful, for instance, where a user accidentally loses or deletes an important email or a file in the mailbox. The team can easily restore what has been lost.

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

"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."

"The initial setup is pretty simple."

"Overall, I am a very satisfied user of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup."

"The product enables us to restore lost files."

"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."

"We've noticed fewer data losses by 90% compared to our previous tool since implementing Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup."

"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."

"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."

More Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup pros

"This is a very stable product."

"Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature."

"Commvault software is a single platform where you can enable whatever you want to use, like endpoint protection. You can enable those licenses on a single platform screen. This is where I see the value ad. This is a single management tool."

"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."

"We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."

"The most valuable feature is the deduplication ratio. It saves most of our space and reduces the network traffic."

"It helped us reduce the number of servers that are required for a stable operation."

"The solution’s user interface for managing the on-prem environment is good."

More Commvault Cloud pros

Cons

"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."

"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."

"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."

"Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup can be improved by addressing that when performing a restore, the search filter and the mailbox filter can be confusing, depending on what you want to achieve."

"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."

"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."

"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."

"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."

"Support for this product needs to be improved because I have seen a couple of cases where it is taking more than the required time to solve issues."

"With respect to the cloud, they need to offer more integrations."

"Suppose I am restoring a particular file. If I want to restore the permissions only from that particular folder, that is not possible. I have to restore all the data for that particular folder. If there was an option to just restore the permissions, that would be better."

"We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign."

"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."

"You need quite a lot of human resources to maintain a Commvault environment, to keep it operational. Also, it would be nice to if there were an easier way set up some Commvault components."

"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."

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

More Commvault Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"This is a cost-effective solution."

"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."

"The price is reasonable compared to other products."

"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."

"Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers."

"The license for Commvault HyperScale X is paid annually."

"Commvault's license fee is per server-based."

"We work with Commvault and a partner on our environment needs according to capacity, licensing, pricing, components, modules, etc. Additional costs depend on your backup needs."

"It is quite expensive when compared to other applications in the market. Its license is completely based on workload capacity. If I buy a license for 100 terabytes, I can back up anything. I can back up any platform, technology, or application, which is an advantage. Previously, we had to buy an agent for a particular application, and the cost was different for each agent. Now, the cost is completely based on the storage capacity. The license for one terabyte can cost around $1,700 for backing up anything from your environment."

"Metallic is an affordable solution."

"It is a little too high. I would like to get more of a consumption model or more of a periodic true-up type of model that is more friendly to the ups and downs that you may have in your data instead of locking into multi-year agreements."

"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."
