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.

Efficient discovery workflows have supported fast reviews but ingestion of document families still needs work
Everlaw's best features include ease of ingestion, processing speed, processing metadata, metadata redactions, and seamless application of redactions on the native. The speed of processing makes the biggest difference in my day-to-day work because the faster we get data into a review system, the less time that we have down for projects. Everlaw has positively impacted my organization by offering an opportunity for an alternative to our current database management that we use for eDiscovery. It has a different aesthetic feel, and we use it primarily for shorter-lived cases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The multi-tenancy is the most valuable feature for us because it's the only software that is fully multi-tenant and that has all the features we need to provide to all our tenants. It provides us with advanced features for MySQL and Oracle, among other platforms"
"One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore."
"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)."
"Overall, this is a good product and very capable."
"The SaaS offering is the most valuable feature because it provides endpoint, Office 365, and core server backup."
"The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems."
"Commvault is unique in the backup and recovery category because if you are using Commvault as a backup, you don't need any additional software to have an archiving solution."
"Commvault has a unique administration platform and interfaces, providing backup, archive, reporting and replication features, and has more features than its competitors."
"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."
"Customer support is phenomenal and is one of the most appealing factors with Everlaw."
"We use the tool specifically for unitization in many projects. It's very easy for reviewers to use. Everlaw is improving daily, introducing new features like analytics and AI. Analytics in Everlaw runs by default when we process anything. We used AI to train the system for review in a project with five million records."
 

Cons

"I have written a lot of different reviews about the product and every time I have mentioned the user interface is not user-friendly, e.g., the admin portal is not user-friendly."
"Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage."
"The product is a bit complex."
"Command Center definitely gives us a complete view of our data. But finding some of the granular, very small items that we sometimes have to find, such as auxiliary copies for tapes, I still find that it's easier to navigate and, sometimes, only possible to find them using the CommCell tool."
"This solution can be complex and difficult to administer because it supports all of the many platforms, so it would help if they could simplify it."
"They can always improve the interface design to make it easier."
"I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly."
"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One of the issues with backup vendors is that they overprice, or overvalue their products."
"The pricing has improved. It is simplified compared to the way that it was a few years ago. It is fairly straightforward and pretty easy to articulate to customers, which is handy."
"The product is very competitive for pricing in some countries because it is possible to set up Commvault hardware with other vendors using its certification."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"The license for Commvault HyperScale X is paid annually."
"Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
"The solution is licensed based on the number of objects that we're going to back up, and that's a known quantity. As a result, we get predictable costs for our backup requirements."
"In India, this is a very expensive product."
"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."
