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.

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

"The solution includes the best compatibility metrics for integration and they are managed by Google support."

"This product has allowed us to recover data when we've had issues."

"We specialize in Commvault and IntelliSnap. Commvault covers all our customers' backup needs in one system, and they have complete control over their Snapshot backups. Snapshots are important to our customers because of the size of their data sets."

"It's an enterprise product. It's a stable product. We have good support. Almost all databases are in the scope."

"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."

"In the VM, we have Live Recovery, Live Mount, and Live Sync."

"The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems."

"This is a very stable product."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"The sourcing and the detailed background checklist are the most valuable features of this solution."

"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."

Cons

"You need quite a lot of human resources to maintain a Commvault environment, to keep it operational. Also, it would be nice to if there were an easier way set up some Commvault components."

"It would be nice to have just one email report come in, then we can filter out failures. If everything is backed up, we really don't need to see the report. If it is in a single report. A simpler customised report would be good."

"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."

"Commvault's price is quite high."

"The stability of the tool could be improved."

"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."

"Commvault Cloud currently lacks support for backing up Proxmox environments, which limits its functionality."

"When you deploy Complete Data Protection for past services, it's more complicated because you cannot directly back up from the previous service host. We have to build a proxy server, like a middleware, to directly access the past database server. It's complex and hard for beginners to figure out."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"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."

"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

"The cost of an integrator license is moderate and its features cover most customers."

"The solution is highly-priced."

"The solution is expensive. However, there are no additional costs involved. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."

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

"It is not the cheapest solution. I think the pricing is fair for mid-side customers. It is between all the other options."

"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."

"The solution is worth the money."

"It is quite expensive when compared to other applications in the market. Its license is completely based on workload capacity. If I buy a license for 100 terabytes, I can back up anything. I can back up any platform, technology, or application, which is an advantage. Previously, we had to buy an agent for a particular application, and the cost was different for each agent. Now, the cost is completely based on the storage capacity. The license for one terabyte can cost around $1,700 for backing up anything from your environment."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"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."
