Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage.""Commvault provides data protection. Their engine is ransomware-agnostic so ransomware doesn't compromise our backup data. Therefore, we can rely on their data protection to recover and back up our production system.""Integration with Active Directory and the Azure platform make it a complete solution.""The recovery features are useful. It is easy to recover data. If something happens, we can easily recover data. We have faced ransomware issues twice, and we recovered because of Commvault.""HyperScale X is really user-friendly and has a lot of features. It's also cheaper, faster, and more stable than its competitors.""Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive.""Complete Data Protection is convenient because you can manage various types of databases, and it's pretty easy to set it up.""Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature."

"The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof.""I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features.""It is fairly stable.""What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably.""It is very easy to set up and get started. Almost too easy. We racked this device and had it up and running in less than 15 minutes.""When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good.""Backup/archive to multiple locations.""Iinstant recovery (allows a spin-up of your image as a VM on the appliance)."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console.""If I were to ask them to work on something, it would be the fidelity of the alerts that occur. They should tell me if it is a real event or not. It is easy for it to identify that something hit it but give me more information. They can build AI into the engine so that I get better output from an alert to tell me if I should really be interested in that or not.""The workflow has room for improvement.""There is room for improvement in terms of data security.""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.""The solution requires improvement with its connection and bandwidth.""I would like more communication informing us on what Commvault is doing in the background.""Commvault's price is quite high."

More Commvault Cloud Cons →

"​​Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago.""There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable.""The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved.""The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive.""Unitrends can be challenging to scale.""Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution.""Network-based storage stability could be improved.""Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
  • "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."
  • "New licensing is easy and affordable."
  • "Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
  • "Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
  • "In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually."
  • "The price could perhaps be lower as well."
  • "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."
  • More Commvault Cloud Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Make sure you do the homework to size the solution properly. Buy the Enterprise Plus licensing if you can afford it."
  • "When you purchase initially, get into the program which gives replacement hardware for free when you renew your support agreement."
  • "Initial pricing is competitive. Renewal pricing is steep, so make sure to project costs for the lifetime of the appliance(s)."
  • "Talk with the sales guys. They can work with you on the best package."
  • "We found that the cost of Unitrends was about the same as the Dell DR6300. We liked the fact that the Unitrends appliance was all-in-one."
  • "The cost of Unitrends definitely draws you in. The licensing is all included in the appliance, which is a great incentive."
  • "Pricing model constantly changes."
  • "You should be aware how much the monthly costs are to use, what the initial costs for hardware are, and what the options to expand are, if needed."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The convenience of backing up and restoring simultaneously is very valuable.
    Top Answer:The tool is affordable. I rate the pricing a six out of ten. Implementation requires additional costs because we need Commvault Professional Services.
    Top Answer:Data center backup must be improved. We also want the product to provide us with a cloud-based backup. If we use Microsoft Exchange Online for email services, we want to know how to get a backup in… more »
    Top Answer:The most valuable feature of Unitrends for me is the automated feedback
    Top Answer:Unitrends is an expensive solution. We've negotiated deals where they've given us the $ 62,000 to $ 64,000 appliance for free but charged $ 90,000 for three years of support.
    Top Answer:In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses—I had to hover over to find that information. Figuring out the scripting part wasn't… more »
