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.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance

One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is a reliable solution."

"It is a stable solution."

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

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

"Metallic's customer service — their technical support and their sales and customer contact representatives — were world-class; among the best customer service interactions I've had with anyone, anywhere, for any reason."

"We can use it on-premises and in the cloud."

"It's easy to configure multiple jobs and media agent locations for each server. We do offsite backups for all of our servers, but we also do onsite hourly backups of them. That has benefited us several times when we had an incident and didn't want to roll back a server an entire day."

"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."

More Commvault Cloud pros

"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on and has compatible features."

"The solution is quite stable, and we haven't had any problems over the past five years of use."

"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."

"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."

"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."

"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."

"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."

"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."

Cons

"Our main pain point is that some of our hardware is old. For example, the SSD disks for our application database are slow. It's hard to avoid a slowdown in our environment because the size of our backups is growing every year. If you're growing and don't upgrade the environment, you will see slower backups and restores. You must enhance the environment if you are growing."

"The user creation and management capabilities could be improved."

"When you deploy Complete Data Protection for past services, it's more complicated because you cannot directly back up from the previous service host. We have to build a proxy server, like a middleware, to directly access the past database server. It's complex and hard for beginners to figure out."

"The retention log feature could be an issue for us and can be improved. The backup schedule can also be better in terms of how you set it up."

"Getting my guys the right access has a learning curve. Sometimes, it is, "Oh, okay. I think I got it for you." Then, they say, "Oh, nope. I logged in but I can't see this." Then, it is, "Okay, hold on. Give me a second. Let me change that. Okay, it's this one." That learning curve has probably taken a little bit longer than some simpler things. So, Metallic has some granularity, and as a systems administrator, I appreciate that. At the same time, I also realize that I have to learn it."

"The support needs more improvement. I feel that the support is not yet up to the mark, with not enough professional engineers to provide assistance."

"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."

"I need documentation for Azure backups. One expectation that I have is regarding PDF documentation. When I was trying to browse the documentation, I could not locate that."

More Commvault Cloud cons

"Technical support can be improved."

"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."

"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."

"Other people will prefer this solution because they're used to it. However, from my point of view, you have more breaks, more failures on it than you will with Commvault."

"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."

"The program is quite expensive and I am not impressed by their technical support."

"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."

"The technical team wasn't very helpful."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cost-effective."

"HyperScale X is expensive."

"Using a subscription-based license has been advantageous."

"Metallic is an affordable solution."

"We like that there is no extra cost for SharePoint, Teams, or OneDrive. It is all mimicking Microsoft's model. Every user has one terabyte of space. When users start using OneDrive, everybody has one terabyte that will be backed up included in the price."

"Everyone else offers the subscription-based model nowadays, while Commvault Complete Data Protection still has the traditional license model, where you must buy a set of licenses. You pay for one hundred licenses even if you only use fifty virtual machines, so the licensing model needs improvement."

"New licensing is easy and affordable."

"I looked at this at the beginning of the year and I don't remember what the prices were for all the other services, but I thought that Metallic's was fair. It was also highly rated, which was even more important than cost because I need a reliable, secure, backup method."

More Commvault Cloud pricing and cost advice

"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."

"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."

"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."

"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."

"The program is quite expensive."
