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.

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."

"Go for Commvault. It is a very strong, stable solution."

"The compression and deduplication are great for optimizing bandwidth and speed. I don't have to worry about it or think about it, and, because it's a SaaS solution, I don't have to worry about the storage size."

"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."

"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 solution is scalable."

"In terms of the speed of backup, it operates seamlessly, so I'd rate it as excellent... with my daily use and workload, quite honestly I don't even notice when it backs up."

"I recommend this solution to others."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"This solution has improved my organization because if someone accidentally deletes or corrupts something, we have multiple sources to restore them."

"I like the backup features of this solution and the integration is very useful."

"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."

"The technical support is good."

"We are very satisfied with Veeam's technical support."

"It is scalable."

"I haven't explored all of what this solution has to offer as I have only been using it for four months, but so far it's good and I would recommend it."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."

More Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] pros

Cons

"The most common feedback I get in terms of Commvault is that it can be complex."

"Commvault likes to be ahead of the game when it comes to merging with other platforms, but sometimes it's before they have the solution truly baked in."

"Commvault is complex even if the product has comprehensive solutions and covers pretty much every technology out there. There's no unified way to manage all of the products on one single console."

"They can improve the security level for Windows."

"It is quite expensive when compared to other applications in the market."

"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."

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

"I really struggled to configure HyperScale X as there was a lack of detailed documentation."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."

"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."

"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."

"Technical support is okay. They could be more customer-friendly."

"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."

"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."

"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."

"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The complete license gives us options for all the features. Commvault does not license based on storage or the management components. It can integrate with any storage vendor. That means that when we are out of storage and need more, we can integrate without additional licensing. In my opinion, Commvault needs to reduce the licensing cost by 20 to 40 percent to make it cost-efficient."

"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."

"Its cost is reasonable, but anybody else can do better benchmarking."

"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."

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

"The price is a little bit high."

"The tool is affordable."

"In India, this is a very expensive product."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"The costing is very competitive."

"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."

"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."

"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."

"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."

"Price-wise it's good."

"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."

"Licensing costs are monthly."
