Ankit Gagneja

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.

CONRAD FORREST

President at MTS Consulting Group, Inc.

The solution provides the ability to backup all types of cloud drives, is inexpensive, and has decent support

MSP360 Backup provides the backup functionality, but we need to provide the storage component. We can use Azure, AWS, or another provider, but we need to choose the storage provider and create a bucket to store our data. The vendor is making changes to improve the functionality of the service and the separation of storage, but I would like to see more integration and a knowledge base of the tool. Currently trying to understand why the storage is separated and how to implement the storage properly is a challenge. Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service. Unlike other solutions such as Kohl which includes everything at one price. MSP360 Backup can be improved by adding inclusive pricing.

Continuous replication and backup simplify customer service across enterprises of any size

Veeam Data Platform provides me with the most useful features such as application restore, single file restore, backup and replication, and continuous replication. We utilize these features for management and the customers we serve. Veeam Data Platform provides features such as immutability and ransomware protection. While we use other applications for ransomware protection, we rely on Veeam Data Platform for encryption.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Commvault Cloud stands out for its ease of use and reliable backups, along with its ability to handle large data volumes for VMs, servers, and applications."

"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."

"Integration with Active Directory and the Azure platform make it a complete solution."

"We find the most valuable features in Commvault Cloud to be from the appliances perspective."

"Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."

"Commvault is a very stable product."

"Metallic's customer service — their technical support and their sales and customer contact representatives — were world-class; among the best customer service interactions I've had with anyone, anywhere, for any reason."

"IntelliSnap for snapshot collection is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to back up large amounts of data."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."

"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."

"I liked the way the product worked, its flexibility on the storage and cost, and the way it was supported."

"The feature that I have found most valuable is its online backup capacity because you don't have to do an entire backup again and again, it just does whatever you type in, you type a, it goes a, you type b, it goes b. It doesn't take an entire site up again and again. So that incremental and bit by bit backup is important, it is a nice feature here."

"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."

"The most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has has been successfully backed up and what not. I do not mean the file or folder view, because that's problematic with GDPR, but I mean which machines have successfully backed up. It's very valuable because you don't have to check the machines. The second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."

"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."

More MSP360 Backup pros

"The most beneficial aspect of Veeam ONE is the ability to track your company's growth on a month-to-month basis. With this tool, you can determine if you need to purchase more target storage or if you have enough. This is essential for budgeting purposes, as, without this information, you may discover too late that you require additional storage or that your cloud usage is not aligning with what you are being charged. Veeam ONE aids in forecasting and usage analysis, making it a valuable asset."

"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."

"Veeam won because it is simple to use and great to integrate with virtualization solutions."

"We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution."

"The flexibility provided by Veeam Data Platform's hybrid deployment options is very simple, efficient, and user-friendly."

"Veeam ONE is a straightforward solution and compatible with almost all hardware."

"Veeam however, is the easiest way to manage virtual infrastructure backup, and the cost is better, when compared with some other solutions."

"Setting up Veeam is easy, and it's portable, too."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"The initial setup was complex."

"There could be improvements to the backup failures."

"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."

"Compared to Rubrik, MongoDB Data Protector, and NetBackup, Commvault is better. The licensing team was quite tricky recently because they stopped the unlimited files for that license. Commvault made a bank of 500GB only, a node-based license can take it, which is disappointing. Reporting needs to be more granular. Also, there should be a showback of data being backed up, and the backup cost to share the cost internally with the department."

"The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release."

"Could be easier to implement."

"Its competitor, Veeam, includes backup and replication in the same product. I don't know if Commvault has it or not, but they should if they don't."

"Its major disadvantage is it's expensive."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"There are some things that we don't like about it. That is why I was exploring alternatives in a hyper-scale environment. That is why I was checking IT Central Station."

"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."

"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point. They say they are GDPR compliant, but they are not."

"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."

"The Linux GUI leaves a lot to be desired. It lacks many of the features of the Windows version and is buggy, but it is still usable."

"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now."

More MSP360 Backup cons

"The tech support could be better. I rate it as a six out of ten. Though this is not frequent, when we have had need to resort to it, we found it to not be good."

"Lacks online training."

"They could improve the product's response times for technical support and enhance support for newer hypervisors."

"The pricing is increasingly becoming more and more expensive."

"The downside is when you need to backup physical servers as usually most organizations aren't running a 100% virtualized environment so that can be an issue."

"It would be ideal if they could capture everything and then timestamp and back up everything up to that timestamp."

"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."

"Add an archive option to support legal obligations."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a little too high. I would like to get more of a consumption model or more of a periodic true-up type of model that is more friendly to the ups and downs that you may have in your data instead of locking into multi-year agreements."

"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."

"One of the most interesting aspects is that the licensing model can be modified. We're paying for our licensing by the client, as opposed to the size of the footprint of the backup, which decreased our cost by about 20 percent."

"The price of Commvault HyperScale X is a lot higher than competitors. As a government institution, we have annual costs. We made a budget for one year in advance. It was difficult to calculate the other solution's costs because each solution has another way of licensing. The solution is expensive but it is very good and we know the good quality we will be receiving."

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

"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 solution is worth the money."

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

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."

"We have a very good return on investment."

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."

"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."

"It includes a standard licensing fee. Once a year, there is a rebranding fee. The licensing costs are available on the internet for MSP360 Backup. There is a discount structure where if you have over 50 devices, you get a 50% discount. So, my cost is $2 a license per month."

"Its pricing needs improvement."

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."

More MSP360 Backup pricing and cost advice

"The product is expensive for small businesses."

"Veeam Data Platform's pricing is affordable."

"Veeam Data Platform, it's pay-as-you-go. So, the more options you choose, the more consumption you have in monthly billing."

"The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM solution."

"Our licensing cost is $200 a year."

"I find the pricing to be okay."

"Our licensing runs for five years, and after that time we do the renewal. There haven't been any further costs beyond our initial licensing plan because our customer is satisfied with the setup that has been configured and the overall backup environment."

"Since our Veeam license is perpetual, we only pay for annual maintenance."
