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.

Trustworthy and provides good availability

Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over. It could be more of a knowledge transfer situation that didn't happen, but we didn't know if it was easy to use. Precisely Assure QuickEDD is deployed on the cloud in our organization. The implementation of QLED helped us with our recovery time objective and was a seamless transition. In order to utilize the product to its fullest potential, users should be knowledgeable of what it offers. They should also form a relationship with the person who is their representative. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Backup and archive with a single window, with a single backup job. You only need to type "c"."

"The solution is scalable."

"With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn."

"One of the most valuable features is the encryption which helps save you from ransomware. Because the data is already encrypted, it cannot be encrypted again."

"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."

"The functionality and features of Commvault were much better compared to other solutions."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."

"HyperScale X is really user-friendly and has a lot of features. It's also cheaper, faster, and more stable than its competitors."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"Synchronous applications are valuable."

"The most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."

Cons

"The pricing could be more flexible in terms of licensing."

"This product is overly complex to operate and run."

"There could be improvements to the backup failures."

"I would like to see some of the code execute a little bit better when I add new licenses and assign licenses to users. I'd like to see that information update a little quicker."

"The initial setup was complicated."

"Getting my guys the right access has a learning curve. Sometimes, it is, "Oh, okay. I think I got it for you." Then, they say, "Oh, nope. I logged in but I can't see this." Then, it is, "Okay, hold on. Give me a second. Let me change that. Okay, it's this one." That learning curve has probably taken a little bit longer than some simpler things. So, Metallic has some granularity, and as a systems administrator, I appreciate that. At the same time, I also realize that I have to learn it."

"We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines."

"The deployment process should be simplified because it is not something that just anybody can do."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over."

"There should be more interactive dashboards."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is licensed based on the number of objects that we're going to back up, and that's a known quantity. As a result, we get predictable costs for our backup requirements."

"...the battle came down to pricing, as well as some small features, and Commvault was the best in all the criteria."

"Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."

"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."

"We like that there is no extra cost for SharePoint, Teams, or OneDrive. It is all mimicking Microsoft's model. Every user has one terabyte of space. When users start using OneDrive, everybody has one terabyte that will be backed up included in the price."

"The price is not cheap, but when you compare it to the other products they are all almost the same level in terms of price."

"One of the issues with backup vendors is that they overprice, or overvalue their products."

"Some of our customers say that Commvault is a very expensive solution, but Commvault has many features that the competitors don't have. It is not a good choice for a small or medium business, but it is a good choice for enterprise businesses."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements. If you want to manage it, there is an extra cost."
