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.

Has improved compliance tracking and reduced recovery time for on-premise environments

The product includes a compliance management feature. Through the Dell account manager, customization is made, as the automated orchestration feature in the product helps to minimize human error during the recovery process. We send a Live Optics invitation to customers, and this file collects data from the customer, including input and output per second and the uses of capacity, disk, and core used in the environment. We collect this data by the Live Optics tools and send this report to the account manager, who can size the solution after that. The installation process for Dell Cloud Disaster Recovery is easy, and we already have the experience for installation and implementation. If we need any help, we have engineers in the distributor company in Egypt. We already have the Dell deployment option, which can be offered from day one from the Dell configurator, so implementation is not a problem.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Commvault, we provided trusted environment to our customer and increased our incomes with new customers."

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

"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."

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

"From a real-life experience, I can say it cut down the time our customers spent on backup tasks by about 60 percent."

"The solution's stability is excellent."

"HyperScale X is really user-friendly and has a lot of features, and it's also cheaper, faster, and more stable than its competitors."

"A very stable and scalable platform (you can backup/restore/protect a couple of MBs or hundred of TBs as well from the same console/platform)."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"The technical support from Dell Technologies is the best option."

Cons

"Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault."

"The user creation and management capabilities could be improved."

"It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement."

"It would be a bit unfair to say that it's complex, due to the fact that it supports so many different workloads, however, if there's anything that is a bit of a shortcoming, then it's the fact that there's a bit of complexity involved when dealing with the product."

"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."

"Licensing could be better explained."

"Commvault likes to be ahead of the game when it comes to merging with other platforms, but sometimes it's before they have the solution truly baked in."

"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"A negative aspect of Dell Cloud Disaster Recovery is that it requires maintaining stock. In the Middle East, it takes much more time to get this product to the customer, between four and six months, which is a long time for the customer to wait."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Commvault licensing is a perpetual license so only the support is being renewed yearly."

"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."

"We like that there is no extra cost for SharePoint, Teams, or OneDrive. It is all mimicking Microsoft's model. Every user has one terabyte of space. When users start using OneDrive, everybody has one terabyte that will be backed up included in the price."

"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."

"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest price, I rate the pricing an eight."

"The pricing is far better than we had in the past. The license for Dell EMC was not too expensive, but the storage, given that Dell EMC is based on data domains, was pretty expensive."

"The licensing costs are determined on a yearly basis. It might be around $40,000 or $50,000. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

Commvault

For organizations looking to the cloud as a disaster recovery option, Dell Cloud Disaster Recovery (Cloud DR) allows enterprises to copy backed-up virtual machines (VMs) from their on-premises PowerProtect DD storage to the public cloud (AWS, AWS GovCloud, Azure, Azure Government) to orchestrate DR testing, failover and failback of cloud workloads in a disaster recovery scenario. These workloads can be run directly in the public cloud, so full deployment of your on-premises data protection solutions in the cloud is not required in order to protect and recover your VMs.
