Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate.""The use of hyperscale storage hardware and Commvault software has allowed us to create a large storage pool and achieve significant savings in our back-end storage costs.""We use the solution for cloud and data backup.""The solution has the fastest backup and better licensing.""In the VM, we have Live Recovery, Live Mount, and Live Sync.""We switched to Commvault because we were looking to centralize management. This reduced IT administrator time as well as providing stability and reliability for data backups in a single console.""Technical support is great.""We now have the capability to recover a virtual machine without relying on the NFS system, but instead are able to use certain features provided by Commvault."

"The backup for our virtual machines is reliable and the console makes management straightforward.""It stayed the same for a long time, which makes it easy to set up and easy to work with."

More Datto ALTO Pros →

Cons
"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better.""The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me. My OneDrive is protected by multifactor authentication, and to get the backup to begin behind that multifactor authentication took a little bit of almost customized support, even though I was following the instructions and the videos. That process could have been easier.""Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved.""The initial setup was complex.""Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault.""There is room for improvement in terms of data security.""The customer support is not good.""We get an alarm if a lot of files are deleted, for example. That could look like ransomware, even if it is not."

"The process of restoring VMs to the appliance could be more efficient.""Technical support was superior when it was owned independently."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
  • "There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
  • "New licensing is easy and affordable."
  • "Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
  • "Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
  • "In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually."
  • "The price could perhaps be lower as well."
  • "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."

  • "If you have a small server, it's approximately $100 per month."
