Unified data protection has simplified hybrid backups and has improved ransomware recovery speed

Commvault Cloud's best feature in terms of protection is that it provides data protection and accomplishes its job effectively. It offers a unified approach to backup across all environments, including on-premises, public cloud, and SaaS applications such as M365 and Salesforce. I also use it for virtual machines and databases. The unified protection approach helps my team manage different environments effectively. Before Commvault Cloud, I used a separate VM backup tool to protect the VMware environment. For database backup, I had to use the native tool or backup scripts. For the cloud part, I had to use the native AWS or Azure cloud tools. After moving to Commvault Cloud, a single policy or a set of backup policies is applied across virtual machines, databases, workloads, and cloud workloads. I can protect my environments, which reduces manual configuration errors. Regarding visibility, it provides one dashboard to manage and centralize monitoring of all workloads. It is very easy to track backup success or failure. I can see the SLA compliance and storage usage without needing to jump between tools to check or have visibility of it. Regarding the recovery experience, the recovery time has been reduced drastically by using Commvault Cloud. It has simplified cloud management and provides easier manageability to manage retention policies, encryption policies, and compliance rules. This helps reduce operational workloads. Commvault Cloud has impacted me very positively. It simplifies and unifies data protection across hybrid workloads. Instead of managing multiple backup tools for virtual machines, databases, and SaaS applications, I now have a single platform with consistent policies and centralized visibility. This has really reduced my operational complexity and improved backup reliability. Regarding the cyber resiliency posture, the immutable backups and ransomware recovery workflow give me greater confidence in recovering quicker from potential risks. Commvault Cloud has positively impacted me in several key areas: unified backup management across environments, reduced operational overhead, improved ransomware resiliency, faster recovery times, better visibility for compliance, and easier management of hybrid or cloud workloads.

Document review has become faster and more accurate while protecting sensitive information

Everlaw is very helpful with the different types of capabilities it offers, including batching, search terms, coding documents, and setting up the coding panel. One of the best features that Everlaw offers is the searching capability and search results, being able to search for documents. What makes the searching feature stand out for me is its accuracy. Everlaw has positively impacted my organization by making it much easier to process mass productions by batching so that reviewers can get in and review documents. I can use the MD5 hash values to search for documents that might be similar and ensure that accuracy and consistency are maintained across the board. Everlaw has saved the team time and reduced errors because when I was using Everlaw, we did not always have the budget to pay for the best reviewers, and some of them did not prioritize accuracy. Everlaw identifies a lot of the mistakes that the attorneys are making so that we can correct them before they get to the client.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 1-Touch recovery feature is helpful for all customers."

"Scalability, as well as stability, are a couple of important parts of this solution."

"It's the leader in backup and archiving."

"Before Commvault we had one product for backup, one for replication, and a few consoles, and with Commvault it's just one product and one license that is easy to manage and has saved us about 30 percent in storage while enabling our company to accelerate growth."

"Commvault software is a single platform where you can enable whatever you want to use, like endpoint protection, and you can enable those licenses on a single platform screen, which is where I see the value add because it is a single management tool."

"Metallic has reduced the amount of manual work required to manage our client's backup operations; it is reliable, we trust it and don't need to monitor it as much as another backup, and it saves our technician an hour or two a day."

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

More Commvault Cloud pros

"Everlaw has positively impacted my organization by helping us become more efficient with our eDiscovery and with collection and review of documents."

"I recommend that others looking into using Everlaw should not hesitate because it is cheaper, faster, and easier than any other ESI database."

"We save time and are probably able to process data up to 70% faster than our previous methods, thanks to the robust tools and actually reviewing documents and collaborating."

"Everlaw has saved me time and made processes more efficient, as it has been easier to use than some software such as Exterro."

"Customer support is phenomenal and is one of the most appealing factors with Everlaw."

"Everlaw has positively impacted my organization by allowing for quicker and more efficient discovery productions, and it has also decreased the errors in discovery."

"Everlaw is something I always recommend to people who have large-scale projects but may have a client who is not willing to pay as much as it would be if they were to use Relativity."

"In Everlaw, you can add related items within a search to a search component, allowing you to build and expand your search incrementally. For example, you can start with an initial search, add related items, and then continue adding more related items to the entire search. Another thing about Everlaw is its speed. It loads quickly, whether it's images or documents."

More Everlaw pros

Cons

"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."

"I just wanted to compare the features, which are there in EMC NetWorker, which are not available in Commvault. We have things using Networker."

"If I have an issue, it will indeed take more time to receive a response because they have limited resources, but otherwise, Commvault Cloud has reasonable support, although they will not come on-site and it will be remote support."

"There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console."

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

"We do not use Command Center, but we are using CommCell Console. We're navigating and manipulating the entire environment by using CommCell Console, and we are comfortable with it. We didn't find Command Center user-friendly. We found it a bit difficult to use. It decreases the efficiency of the tasks to be performed. It was probably implemented as a centralized application to manage all environments, but it was probably not a good idea. I and my colleagues across the globe are comfortable with using CommCell Console rather than Command Center."

"The initial setup was complex."

"They can improve the VMware recovery and VMware backup. There is an improvement area on the VMware infrastructure. They can make available what they call a VSA proxy. They can have an appliance-type setup to deploy VSA backups and help recover quicker. They can have an appliance ready. Instead of having to have a server dedicated to that and installing software on a server, they can just provide an actual appliance for that."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"When I first used Everlaw in the beta version and shortly after it was initially rolled out, it struggled with summarizing construction documents, and its accuracy in reviewing transcripts was adequate."

"Everlaw could be less choosy about accepting control numbers for third-party loads. When uploading third-party loads, it currently needs two mandatory fields (like within date or end date or page count). I think the control number should be the only required field. Everlaw isn't used for Data Breach projects. For normal eDiscovery, we can use Everlaw, but most clients prefer Relativity."

"I think Everlaw can be improved because there is a lot of training that could use some work."

"I have used it to identify PII and privilege, and I still see errors with whether or not it is accurately identifying PII."

"Everlaw can be improved on ingestion by making the ingestion of family members more cohesive, as larger documents sometimes fall behind family members which may get processed earlier, causing some confusion for case teams."

"It is expensive."

"The only thing I believe could be improved is that the pricing should be disclosed more clearly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"...the battle came down to pricing, as well as some small features, and Commvault was the best in all the criteria."

"The price is a little bit high."

"Commvault's pricing model and pricing structure were initially confusing, but once we worked more closely with the company, we were able to transition to a subscription license that saved us a lot of money."

"I would rate the price of Commvault Cloud seven out of ten with ten being the cheapest."

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

"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.""

"We have checked some other products, but we are not testing them because price-wise, Commvault is better than the other solutions."

"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"The tool's pricing is higher than that of other tools. Other tools offer bundle rates, but Everlaw charges per GB, which is more expensive. It doesn't charge for users; it only charges for hosting."
