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.

Automation simplifies workflows with no code and excellent support
Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis. Tines has its own dashboard, which displays information like how many stories have been created and how many automations have taken place. However, the reporting and dashboard are not advanced; they are quite basic, with fewer customizable options. The look and feel of the dashboard could be enhanced. Another area for improvement is in terms of documentation, as every tool and company has its own knowledge base.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"The product's stability is good enough."
"IntelliSnap and file system backups are valuable features."
"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"The solution is very stable and offers a good level of performance."
"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
"One valuable feature is unlimited backup. You can back up existing users and folders."
"The best advantage is the no-code automation, excellent customer support services, and ease of integration with other tools."
"The tool was vendor-neutral."
"One of the most valuable features is that it’s a low-code solution."
"The best thing is that it's no code, so it doesn't require coding knowledge."
 

Cons

"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"The local support could be improved."
"Its technical support could be better."
"I would like to have a manager-level dashboard to review the backups. This is not from an administrative perspective where you can see the details of the execution. Rather, it would only show the percentage of completeness for each one."
"Commvault HyperScale X could improve by allowing backups of the storage area network (SAN)."
"They can improve the VMware recovery and VMware backup. There is an improvement area on the VMware infrastructure. They can make available what they call a VSA proxy. They can have an appliance-type setup to deploy VSA backups and help recover quicker. They can have an appliance ready. Instead of having to have a server dedicated to that and installing software on a server, they can just provide an actual appliance for that."
"Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved."
"Commvault should keep and continue to develop the Java GUI."
"They started implementing some AI, and their AI is isolated."
"Maybe Tines can add more features and demonstrations, like videos on how to use the features within the tool."
"Tines was a little bit more expensive than Torq."
"Reporting and dashboards could be more advanced for deeper analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is paid on an annual basis and the price is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"It is cheaper than NetBackup, but its price can be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The product is cheap."
"HyperScale X is expensive."
"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."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery is perhaps the best value for our money that I have seen in a backup product."
