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.

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

"Cloud integration."
"Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"It's got the ability to do automation, that's another good thing about it."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"With Commvault it is a single job, which does both backup and archive, so it does not touch the data twice."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication ratio. It saves most of our space and reduces the network traffic."
"Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."
"The compatibility with other solutions is a key feature; the solution can be configured and integrated with multiple solutions seamlessly."
 

Cons

"Endpoint backup."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"They can improve the security level for Windows."
"There are two ways to use it and I prefer the web-based one over the app. I wish they were a little bit more matched in what they offer because the features aren't as available in the web-based interface as they are in the app."
"Commvault HyperScale X could improve by allowing backups of the storage area network (SAN)."
"We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign."
"They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays."
"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. Office 365 is an example. I feel that my company might be a litmus test for their solution, because we have such a large environment. Some of the promised solutions that we received from Commvault were more like testing solutions. They weren't really validated, meaning they were possibilities. There have been a lot of hot fixes for the solution that we're using right now, more than we expected."
"I must clarify that I can only speak to pricing aspects, not technical features or functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs are determined on a yearly basis. It might be around $40,000 or $50,000. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
"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."
"We have checked some other products, but we are not testing them because price-wise, Commvault is better than the other solutions."
"The solution is licensed based on the number of objects that we're going to back up, and that's a known quantity. As a result, we get predictable costs for our backup requirements."
"The cost of an integrator license is moderate and its features cover most customers."
"It is a bit more than other products, but when you consider the time savings, it is saving money."
