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.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection

Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups

When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you really want to understand your data, audit your data, really manipulate your data, and save money through your data, then Commvault is the place to go."

"I can leverage on cloud storage technologies as well and restore it with granularity level that I have not seen in any other data management tool."

"Complete Data Protection is convenient because you can manage various types of databases, and it's pretty easy to set it up."

"Commvault is also a very reliable backup solution; this is one of our main use cases."

"The solution has the fastest backup and better licensing."

"Security measures, including encryption and threat detection, contribute significantly to data protection, safeguarding against unauthorized access and cyber threats."

"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."

"IntelliSnap for snapshot collection is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to back up large amounts of data."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"The features I find most valuable are probably the VMware snapshot backups and the Veeam replication. Their replication is very good. It can easily be used for disaster recovery in a number of situations."

"The instant VM recovery feature is the most valuable. It is a very good tool for disaster recovery. It is also easy to manage."

"The most valuable data protection features in Veeam are encryption and error handling."

"This solution is very user-friendly."

"The most important feature for me is the security - you can trust that Veeam is working without having to test or check it."

"We strongly recommend this software, due to the IT operations efficiency and data reliability."

"The tool is good for VMware environments."

"The tool's stability is good."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."

"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."

"Offers good recovery quickly."

"You can back up the whole image."

"It has a user-friendly interface."

"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."

"It has a user-friendly interface and configures and integrates nicely with other products."

"The best thing about this product is that it's a unified solution and doesn't require the installation of any other solution, whether it's in a virtual environment, or on-prem."

More Veritas System Recovery pros

Cons

"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."

"Commvault Complete Data Protection would benefit from improving their training resources."

"The interface could be improved because it has two different consoles."

"Virtual machines backup window in GUI is not user friendly. Some improvements should be done to better user experience."

"The product could be easier to implement, they could create a new console to configure the solution."

"They need to improve when it comes to large, video file archiving. They're good, but they have not met my expectations as a customer in this area."

"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."

"The back of virtual machines needs improvement. I know they're working on it. They're always doing new things but I think they still have a little bit more to do."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"The orchestration feature can be improved. They can improve the virtual machine orchestration to make it similar to VMware. They can also provide an option to automate the backup and recovery and schedule a backup."

"I'd like to see better training offered online."

"There is a limitation on the bare metal backup."

"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."

"Dedupe capabilities."

"Tape support is there, but needs improvement."

"They need to improve their technical side. They don't have a lot of compatibility with Solar HP-UX, IX, or SAP."

"The areas of expansion are limited in our use case since it's only used for reporting."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"It needs an easier interface."

"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."

"The pricing could be cheaper."

"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."

"For most organizations these days, their main concern is to protect their database and I think Veritas could make some improvements in that regard."

"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."

"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."

More Veritas System Recovery cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is a little bit high."

"Commvault is quite high in terms of pricing and licensing."

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

"The solution is expensive. However, there are no additional costs involved. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."

"It is not the cheapest solution. I think the pricing is fair for mid-side customers. It is between all the other options."

"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."

"You have to pay for the licenses and the hardware you need for the Commvault environment. If you don't have all the hardware, you have to buy it, which can cost a few million. In the end, it's vital to protect our data, so the price isn't an issue."

"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

"The price is quite competitive compared to other products in my region."

"Our licensing runs for five years, and after that time we do the renewal. There haven't been any further costs beyond our initial licensing plan because our customer is satisfied with the setup that has been configured and the overall backup environment."

"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."

"It's a proper price, as it isn't an issue for what Veeam Backup & Replication is giving us. Obviously, we are paying licensing for our physical VMware environment. It also depends on how the VMware environment is on the side. We have a few very big nodes. So, we need a few licenses and maybe if people had more nodes and sockets and each node was managing less information, machine supplies could be different."

"We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get."

"The product is expensive."

"We are fine with its pricing policy."

"We pay for a license to use this solution, and we recommend that our customers pay for a license and a renewal license."

More Veeam Data Platform pricing and cost advice

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
