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.

Automation has transformed complex cloud migrations and now saves significant operational time

From what I have experienced with Cutover, it is a fantastic and very productive tool for things like disaster recovery, migration, or repetitive API tasks. All these things can be automated and save a lot of time. However, Cutover is available only at the enterprise level and is not available for startups or as an open-source tool. If Cutover were available to small teams who want to use it for disaster recovery or migration purposes on a small scale, not at the enterprise level, that would be great. If there were a free or limited version of Cutover for startups, it would spread awareness of what Cutover is across the IT industry and help IT admins or organizations understand how it can benefit them from a business perspective.The user interface I have used in the last twenty-one months is very good, but it could be a little more feature-rich. There are a very small number of features available in the user interface, such as user management, runbook management, and runbook creation. These are the kinds of features that could be improved with respect to the Cutover user interface. Also, regarding documentation, from what I have used online or in Google searches, I find there is limited documentation regarding how to install it locally. If a startup or small-scale organization wants to use Cutover for disaster recovery, migration, or automation, there is a lack of documentation available online. That is something that can be improved with respect to Cutover.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's great for getting data back."

"It provides us a good holistic view of everything that we have backed up so far. It also provides us all the recovery points. If we look at an an object that has been backed up, we can tell how many retention copies it has, how far we can go, and recover any data, if needed."

"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."

"The functionality and features of Commvault were much better compared to other solutions."

"We can use it on-premises and in the cloud."

"Security measures, including encryption and threat detection, contribute significantly to data protection, safeguarding against unauthorized access and cyber threats."

"It is a stable solution."

"The most valuable part of the solution is that it is fire-and-forget."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"Cutover is the best artificial intelligence-enabled tool that can be used for automation, migration, and disaster recovery."

"Cutover has positively impacted my organization by largely reducing cycle time."

Cons

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

"The implementation is very difficult and should be improved and made easier."

"The initial installation is straightforward and took approximately two days. However, the process could be more simple."

"I would like Commvault to have a feature for cybersecurity threats, e.g. securing the target backup repository. Commvault just started testing and releasing this feature, but it needs to be stabilized."

"Commvault is too expensive."

"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."

"Commvault Complete Data Protection meets market standards, but an area for improvement is its licensing model. It would be good if it could use the subscription-based model rather than the traditional licensing model."

"The navigation of it needs improvement in terms of the UX. The product itself, it works as expected. It's all user experience and user interface improvements that could be made and it could be made a little more consumer-friendly."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"However, Cutover is available only at the enterprise level and is not available for startups or as an open-source tool."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Everyone else offers the subscription-based model nowadays, while Commvault Complete Data Protection still has the traditional license model, where you must buy a set of licenses. You pay for one hundred licenses even if you only use fifty virtual machines, so the licensing model needs improvement."

"The tool is affordable."

"Commvault Backup & Recovery is priced fairly, and its performance-to-cost ratio is also better than fair."

"HyperScale X is expensive."

"New licensing is easy and affordable."

"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 price is a little bit high."
