Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What I find valuable is restoring the complete server. Restoring files is also valuable, but I like restoring the server because you don't have to rebuild a new one.""What I found most valuable in Commvault Complete Data Protection is its deduplication technique, mainly because the solution has the highest deduplication ratio, giving you higher storage capacity.""We can go from one page to another page, from office backups to VM backups, or applications like secret backups. So everything can be configured or restored from a single pin.""The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great.""HyperScale X is really user-friendly and has a lot of features. It's also cheaper, faster, and more stable than its competitors.""Commvault's Command Center is one of the best solutions out there. You can rely on Commvault solutions for the most complex and most demanding environments.""The user interface is very easy to navigate.""The data is well-protected. It doesn't age off until it's copied. That's a big feature right there. When you reach the end of your retention, it does not expire until the secondary copy is completed. That allows you to hold onto data that otherwise would have aged off by retention. I like that feature. It's hard to just delete or lose data using the Commvault platform."

"IBM StoredIQ Suite helps to address problems like data discovery, records management, compliance activities, storage optimization, and data migration initiatives."

More IBM StoredIQ Pros →

"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines.""The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use.""It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts.""The solution is very stable.""I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc.""The technical support is excellent.""Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."

Cons
"The product is a bit complex.""The navigation of it needs improvement in terms of the UX. The product itself, it works as expected. It's all user experience and user interface improvements that could be made and it could be made a little more consumer-friendly.""For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments.""We get an alarm if a lot of files are deleted, for example. That could look like ransomware, even if it is not.""They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays.""We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign.""The price of Commvault HyperScale X could improve.""There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."

More Commvault Cloud Cons →

"The product was born and designed to be used inside the IT department, but it would be improved by allowing end-users to search for info related to specific needs."

More IBM StoredIQ Cons →

"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better.""Ease of use and learning curve need improvement.""We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email.""There were minor UI bugs.""In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow.""I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function.""​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"

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."
