Cloud Solution Architect at Tata Consultancy

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.

Continuous replication and backup simplify customer service across enterprises of any size

Veeam Data Platform provides me with the most useful features such as application restore, single file restore, backup and replication, and continuous replication. We utilize these features for management and the customers we serve. Veeam Data Platform provides features such as immutability and ransomware protection. While we use other applications for ransomware protection, we rely on Veeam Data Platform for encryption.

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

"The beauty of this solution is that it includes two disk libraries therefore backing up to tape will often not be required, unless very long term retention is needed and even then it is likely to be very infrequent."

"Compared to other products out there, we have found that Commvault is best suited for our needs."

"A very stable and scalable platform (you can backup/restore/protect a couple of MBs or hundred of TBs as well from the same console/platform)."

"We find the most valuable features in Commvault Cloud to be from the appliances perspective."

"Metallic has reduced the amount of manual work required to manage our client's backup operations; it is reliable, we trust it and don't need to monitor it as much as another backup, and it saves our technician an hour or two a day."

"We have multiple workloads, including SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, especially Sybase, as well as file systems, VMs, and Exchange mailboxes. Commvault provides very good support for them."

"All workloads can be integrated with Commvault. If we use a new technology, Commvault integrates with it. Commvault is a data management solution with support for building the DR side of things. With Commvault we can rapidly back up and restore any application we add to our environment."

"The fact that the solution is a single platform has enabled our company to accelerate growth."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"Very reliable and easy to use."

"The tool's stability is good."

"I would recommend the solution to others for its ease-of-use."

"In a fully virtualized environment, the ability to perform instant or quick restore full VM is invaluable, and because this product is reliable, I often forget the backup appliance for weeks or months."

"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."

"We have been using this product for the past three to four years now, and we have well and truly recovered the cost of implementing it."

"The backup features are valuable."

"The solution is easy to install and very stable."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

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

"It has a user-friendly interface."

"You can back up the whole image, not just files and folders, but the image from the server, and you can restore the whole image."

"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."

"The installation was straightforward."

"Offers good recovery quickly."

"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."

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

More Veritas System Recovery pros

Cons

"The retention log feature could be an issue for us and can be improved."

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

"Improved documentation and user training resources could contribute to a smoother onboarding process and more effective utilization of the platform's capabilities."

"The solution requires improvement with its connection and bandwidth."

"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."

"The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release."

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

"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"It would be helpful if there was something that could assist you in managing the database more effectively."

"The initial setup can get complex."

"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."

"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."

"If you don't have technical knowledge about these services, monitoring the virtual machines is hard."

"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."

"Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas."

"Add an archive option to support legal obligations."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."

"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."

"The pricing could be cheaper."

"This solution needs an easier interface that is more comprehensible. Also, sometimes we have issues with restoring images when we initialize the servers."

"The reliability is sometimes lacking."

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

"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."

More Veritas System Recovery cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We work with Commvault and a partner on our environment needs according to capacity, licensing, pricing, components, modules, etc. Additional costs depend on your backup needs."

"Our yearly cost is around €20,000... The cost is based on the number of users and the amount of data. They sell it per terabyte."

"It is a bit more than other products, but when you consider the time savings, it is saving money."

"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."

"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."

"I would rate the price of Commvault Cloud seven out of ten with ten being the cheapest."

"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest price, I rate the pricing an eight."

"Commvault's pricing model and pricing structure were initially confusing, but once we worked more closely with the company, we were able to transition to a subscription license that saved us a lot of money."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"We pay on an annual basis. We pay roughly $12,000 for our software subscription."

"I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive."

"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."

"The product is expensive."

"The price of the solution is high."

"Its software solution has a fee."

"The price of Veeam Backup and Replication is expensive."

"Several licensing schemes are available."

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."
