Featured Reviews

Ankit Gagneja - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud Solution Architect at Tata Consultancy
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.

A powerful tool for litigation support services, such as production processing to meet client requirements
LAW PreDiscovery can simplify its interface and offer a cloud-accessible version tailored to customers. We often use other cloud-based document review software alongside LAW PreDiscovery to meet specific needs. This interchangeability allows us to handle specialized export requests more effectively. There also needs to be a more straightforward process for upgrading licenses without contacting support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Metallic has definitely improved our ability to back up and restore email, as well as the other online systems."
"The beauty of this solution is that it includes two disk libraries therefore backing up to tape will often not be required, unless very long term retention is needed and even then it is likely to be very infrequent."
"After deploying the Commvault solution, we are saving four to five hours a week."
"The email archiving feature is very smooth and better than others."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"There are many valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X giving many possibilities to complete jobs, particularly with the backup and restore."
"We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager."
"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."
"I've found the ability to customize exports and indexing in LAW PreDiscovery to be the most valuable feature. It allows us to meet our customers' specific needs effectively."
"The sourcing and the detailed background checklist are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The sourcing and the detailed background checklist are the most valuable features of this solution."
 

Cons

"Commvault Complete Data Protection meets market standards, but an area for improvement is its licensing model. It would be good if it could use the subscription-based model rather than the traditional licensing model."
"Tape backups can be unreliable, restores are slow and they are expensive to manage."
"The support needs more improvement. I feel that the support is not yet up to the mark, with not enough professional engineers to provide assistance."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"Commvault is too expensive."
"The product's migration process and stability need improvement."
"The initial setup was complicated."
"When we started using Commvault, we felt that there were some technical issues with managing it, but we are comfortable enough with managing it now. There were many issues, like index corrupting, when we first started, but all those issues were resolved by the Commvault tech team."
"If these details, photos, dates of birth, and so on are not possible to include, I believe it would be much more efficient if multiple people could log in using the same email address, as we can in some other programs."
"If you have a heavy workload, you wouldn't be able to complete the research properly."
"LAW PreDiscovery can simplify its interface and offer a cloud-accessible versiontailored to customers. We often use other cloud-based document review software alongside LAW PreDiscovery to meet specific needs. This interchangeability allows us to handle specialized export requests more effectively. There also needs to be a more straightforward process for upgrading licenses without contacting support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost is reasonable."
"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."
"There is a bit of cost involved with signing up the entire solution. It's not a cheap solution."
"The licensing costs are determined on a yearly basis. It might be around $40,000 or $50,000. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"I would rate the price of Commvault Cloud seven out of ten with ten being the cheapest."
"New licensing is easy and affordable."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"Its cost is reasonable, but anybody else can do better benchmarking."
"LAW PreDiscovery licenses are pretty costly and are on a yearly subscription basis. Before committing to LAW, it's crucial to calculate and ensure that you'll see a return on investment."
