Unified data protection has simplified hybrid backups and has improved ransomware recovery speed
Commvault Cloud's best feature in terms of protection is that it provides data protection and accomplishes its job effectively. It offers a unified approach to backup across all environments, including on-premises, public cloud, and SaaS applications such as M365 and Salesforce. I also use it for virtual machines and databases. The unified protection approach helps my team manage different environments effectively. Before Commvault Cloud, I used a separate VM backup tool to protect the VMware environment. For database backup, I had to use the native tool or backup scripts. For the cloud part, I had to use the native AWS or Azure cloud tools. After moving to Commvault Cloud, a single policy or a set of backup policies is applied across virtual machines, databases, workloads, and cloud workloads. I can protect my environments, which reduces manual configuration errors. Regarding visibility, it provides one dashboard to manage and centralize monitoring of all workloads. It is very easy to track backup success or failure. I can see the SLA compliance and storage usage without needing to jump between tools to check or have visibility of it. Regarding the recovery experience, the recovery time has been reduced drastically by using Commvault Cloud. It has simplified cloud management and provides easier manageability to manage retention policies, encryption policies, and compliance rules. This helps reduce operational workloads. Commvault Cloud has impacted me very positively. It simplifies and unifies data protection across hybrid workloads. Instead of managing multiple backup tools for virtual machines, databases, and SaaS applications, I now have a single platform with consistent policies and centralized visibility. This has really reduced my operational complexity and improved backup reliability. Regarding the cyber resiliency posture, the immutable backups and ransomware recovery workflow give me greater confidence in recovering quicker from potential risks. Commvault Cloud has positively impacted me in several key areas: unified backup management across environments, reduced operational overhead, improved ransomware resiliency, faster recovery times, better visibility for compliance, and easier management of hybrid or cloud workloads.

Point-in-time restore capabilities are built into the storage appliance
Our first impression when we were introduced to the product was very good. I still think it's very good. They are truly different. The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that. I'd rate it a 10 out of 10 because it does everything that we have asked it to do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall it has great features that fulfill our customers' expectations."
"There's no impact on the endpoint. It runs in the background and it's something that you install and then forget about."
"It runs all the tests and emails us the reports. We take daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots, and I integrate the storage snapshot scripts with the Commvault workflow. The Commvault workflow runs all the scripts and sends us the reports. It also features cloud-side reports and workflows. Commvault has many tools for backing up, restoring, and archiving things, but we use another service for our archives."
"The solution provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover data across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud locations, making it very effective."
"Commvault integrates well with all types of operating systems and supports heterogeneous environments."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"Commvault is easy to use, easy to deploy, and easy to update."
"Commvault is unique in the backup and recovery category because if you are using Commvault as a backup, you don't need any additional software to have an archiving solution."
"Reduxio offers a very simple, elegant user interface (design) to manage it."
"My first impression of Reduxio was, "Hey, this is the first solution that I have ever encountered that can truly ensure business continuity," and my impression has not yet changed."
"Flexibility and frequency of restore points: allow me to economically customize the range of time for data restoration, according to the varying sensitivities of each type of data."
"Reduxio delivers a self-contained system with all of the features rolled in and functional."
"While looking for a SAN, I came across the Reduxio solution by chance, and it has not only resolved the issue of replacing our old SANs, but provided a radical solution to threats posed by ransomware with its backdating feature which is built-in."
"I like the performance. I think it's what you call a hybrid SAN. It has solid state drives and, of course, regular optical drives, which would make performance a lot better, faster."
"Ease of use, time to market and scalability are all advantages. We can install new software and new applications in no time. That means we don't need buy a new shelf or new disks, just create a virtual machine and the system does everything behind the scenes."
"The always-on deduplication and compression is also effective and allows us to achieve about 3x savings on space utilization."
 

Cons

"The solution requires constant attention. Commvault is very complex. We are constantly making adjustments and working through hotfixes, updates, and issues."
"Commvault tries to integrate with every new product that's coming out on the market. Sometimes it makes everyone's life easier if it works well. If not, we don't know where the error is coming from, and it has a lot of bugs."
"The product's migration process and stability need improvement."
"They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"The interface could be improved because it has two different consoles."
"We get an alarm if a lot of files are deleted, for example. That could look like ransomware, even if it is not."
"I would assess the Command Center as a very useful but sometimes difficult tool. It is multipurpose. It has all the features of logging and monitoring, especially for the actual setup. For us, it is easy because we work daily with it, but for customers who only use it once a week, they sometimes have some difficulties. Command Center is not user-friendly for beginners."
"If Reduxio could manage multiple Reduxio systems within the same dashboard, or manage them as a single mode, it be very, very helpful for us."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."
"The latest release limits web access to the admin console via Chrome only, and that's a bit of a hassle. Would definitely prefer something less restrictive there."
"Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware."
"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."
"I would love to see deeper integration with VMware vSphere/vCenter."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
"The solution is expensive. However, there are no additional costs involved. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"We have checked some other products, but we are not testing them because price-wise, Commvault is better than the other solutions."
"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."
"It is cheaper than Veeam."
"The solution is expensive, but it is worth the money."
"Based on the customer's needs, their pricing and model is very confusing sometimes. You need to check with their sales to make sure you are getting the right pricing on whatever you are using. I know that they have simplified a lot regarding the licensing model nowadays, but it is good to always double check and make sure it has everything that you really need."
"Commvault is more expensive than Veeam, which is the reason that we are changing to Veeam for cloud environments."
"They have very competitive pricing and were able to work within our budget constraints as a public school."
"All of their new features that were released following our purchase are free of charge. For example, we are about to upgrade getting cloud integration for free."
"Set up costs are minimal. We were early adopters so we received really good pricing."
"One of the key selling points of the Reduxio was that it really is fully licensed for the unit. There are no additional licenses needed for the product, which really helps scalability. There were no additional options to purchase, per se. They were already wrapped into the product."
"For less money than my previous solution, I receive way more performance and backup features that far surpass anything on the market."
"I think they're really worth what I get. It's not cheap, but I get all I need."
"The pricing and licensing were favorable.​"
"Setup and licensing are included in the solution cost."
