Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In the VM, we have Live Recovery, Live Mount, and Live Sync.""Commvault is a very stable product.""The initial setup is straightforward.""It's a complete software that can protect all the main applications. Perhaps that's the feature I like most. The integration with the NetApp and other apps is also very nice.""Backup and archive with a single window, with a single backup job. You only need to type "c".""All workloads can be integrated with Commvault. If we use a new technology, Commvault integrates with it. Commvault is a data management solution with support for building the DR side of things. With Commvault we can rapidly back up and restore any application we add to our environment.""It's an enterprise product. It's a stable product. We have good support. Almost all databases are in the scope.""It is a scalable solution."

"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups.""From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database.""The product’s data retention is very good.""The deduplication feature in this product is amazing.""Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes.""The scalability is very good.""The solution is stable.""The interface is very user-friendly."

Cons
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions.""The pricing could be more flexible in terms of licensing.""The back of virtual machines needs improvement. I know they're working on it. They're always doing new things but I think they still have a little bit more to do.""We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue.""Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge.""The pricing of the solution can be improved and made cheaper.""I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor.""The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."

More Commvault Cloud Cons →

"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some.""The platform's price could be lower.""The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware.""Cloud integration needs to be simplified.""The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement.""HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support.""One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly.""HPE StoreOnce Backup to Disk (BTD) is not a good backup solution for NAS devices. It does not have a dual controller, so if one controller fails, the entire system will go down."

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."

  • "The price puts me off. It's definitely on the high side."
  • "To be honest, we were quite happy with the price, but we always want things cheaper than they are. I think for what we got, we felt that the price was quite reasonable comparing it to other products that provide that same level of functionality."
  • "There are costs for additional storage and space."
  • "Price-wise, it comes with a high price tag when compared to other products."
  • "The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."
  • "We have got a perpetual license, and we have access to all the features. If you are using cloud banks, you can store the internal data in HPE Cloud if needed. You can offload the data to the HPE Cloud. It is a licensed product. We have got around 10 TB of cloud bank storage with a one-time payment. We specifically took 10 TB for very critical offsite backups. We can also increase it in blocks if needed."
  • "The licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."
  • "I think the product is competitive in terms of pricing. Other products like the one from Dell are costlier compared to the tool."
