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.

Provides solid compatibility and integration with multiple solutions while having room for improvement in marketing and promotions
I must clarify that I can only speak to pricing aspects, not technical features or functionality. I am primarily involved in the commercial and management side. I cannot make judgments about backup solutions including Veritas eDiscovery Platform, Commvault, Rubrik, or Veeam. I can only discuss list prices, not discounted prices. I have not received full promotional or marketing information about the product. My review rating for this solution is 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very stable."
"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"Commvault gives us a single platform to manage and recover our data. Since we are a research organization, backup is one of the most critical parts of our IT operations and services. Internally, we run it as a managed service, and there is a single console that makes it easy for management to see the performance."
"Compared to other products out there, we have found that Commvault is best suited for our needs."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The user interface is very easy to navigate, the interface itself is very simple, and overall it is doing the job we need it to do while supporting all types of backup systems quite easily."
"Commvault is an all-in-one product that is very simple and operational for business use."
"We find the most valuable features in Commvault Cloud to be from the appliances perspective."
"The compatibility with other solutions is a key feature; the solution can be configured and integrated with multiple solutions seamlessly."
 

Cons

"The only problem is that some of what we snap most of is the VMs. We found about 10% of the VMs that we can't snap because they're too interactive; it actually causes the application to crash."
"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"I would like them not to push Command Center. It is good, but I would like them to enable all the features for the Java console. Some things are not in the Java console, like Office 365 agents. In fact, they are there, but one of the engineers had to show me how to configure it. It's not done the same as in the Command Center."
"For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups."
"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."
"With respect to the cloud, they need to offer more integrations."
"Its major disadvantage is it's expensive."
"Improved documentation and user training resources could contribute to a smoother onboarding process and more effective utilization of the platform's capabilities."
"I must clarify that I can only speak to pricing aspects, not technical features or functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Commvault is quite high in terms of pricing and licensing."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery is perhaps the best value for our money that I have seen in a backup product."
"If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
"The pricing is fairly in line with the other products we've compared it with recently. We do spend more on it than we did in our Backup Exec days, but it's fairly competitive with some of the other best-in-class data protection platforms."
"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."
"One of the most interesting aspects is that the licensing model can be modified. We're paying for our licensing by the client, as opposed to the size of the footprint of the backup, which decreased our cost by about 20 percent."
"The product is very competitive for pricing in some countries because it is possible to set up Commvault hardware with other vendors using its certification."
"We have checked some other products, but we are not testing them because price-wise, Commvault is better than the other solutions."
