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

"It's very user-friendly. It supports a wide range of workloads. It's quite easy to use, it's very powerful and it's scalable."

"Commvault allows us to use one product for almost everything; it's better than the competitors."

"Commvault provides data protection. Their engine is ransomware-agnostic so ransomware doesn't compromise our backup data. Therefore, we can rely on their data protection to recover and back up our production system."

"The Commvault Complete Data Protection interface is straightforward to use."

"The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems."

"Compared to other solutions, using Commvault saves our customers around 15 to 20 percent."

"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."

"The most valuable feature of Metallic is its flexibility and user-friendly."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"The solution's support team is excellent."

"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."

Cons

"The technical support in the India region is a bit disappointing, but after 6:00 pm it is switched to the U.S and European teams, and they are much better in supporting and understanding the issues and fixing them."

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

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

"One issue we face is the complexity of the console. That could be improved on."

"The functional integration could be better."

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

"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."

"They can always improve the interface design to make it easier."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Based on the customer's needs, their pricing and model is very confusing sometimes. You need to check with their sales to make sure you are getting the right pricing on whatever you are using. I know that they have simplified a lot regarding the licensing model nowadays, but it is good to always double check and make sure it has everything that you really need."

"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."

"It is cheaper than Veeam."

"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."

"Our yearly cost is around €20,000... The cost is based on the number of users and the amount of data. They sell it per terabyte."

"The price is not cheap, but when you compare it to the other products they are all almost the same level in terms of price."

"The solution is bundled with hardware licensing. If I want to increase the hardware, I have to buy exactly the same because it's based on the core hardware license. We cannot tell discount because we have an NDA signed with Commvault because of my academic license. The solution is more expensive than NetBackup and Veeam but cheaper than Rubrik."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."

"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
