We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""What I found most valuable in Commvault Complete Data Protection is its deduplication technique, mainly because the solution has the highest deduplication ratio, giving you higher storage capacity.""One valuable feature is unlimited backup. You can back up existing users and folders.""Commvault can perform a backup no matter where you are, and it takes a backup every four hours. No matter when you come to the office, it'll take a backup if you're connected to the internet and check the system for online availability.""The features I find most helpful in Commvault are its ability to perform incremental backups and significantly reduce backup times for our diverse multi-architecture, multi-environment environment.""One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore.""We can use it on-premises and in the cloud.""We use Commvault Command Center for backups and restores and for the creation of new clients. We use it for other functionalities as well. In terms of VMware, I can go directly to the Command Center, enter VMware, and I can search it directly. Command Center is very useful and it can be used for more advanced techniques."

"One of the features I find most valuable, is the good technical support.""The speed and the ease of the initial setup are both good. It is not complex."

Cons
"If I were to ask them to work on something, it would be the fidelity of the alerts that occur. They should tell me if it is a real event or not. It is easy for it to identify that something hit it but give me more information. They can build AI into the engine so that I get better output from an alert to tell me if I should really be interested in that or not.""Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer.""The tool should revise its licensing.""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.""Reduce the complexity for better understanding of the reports. There are a lot of variables in which you can get confused while elaborating on reports.""Support for this product needs to be improved because I have seen a couple of cases where it is taking more than the required time to solve issues.""I would like more communication informing us on what Commvault is doing in the background.""Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved."

More Commvault Cloud Cons →

"The product has to be more mature, like to be another six to eight months on the market. A lot of maturity needs to be incorporated.""The interface and documentation need to improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
  • "There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
  • "New licensing is easy and affordable."
  • "Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
  • "Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
  • "In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually."
  • "The price could perhaps be lower as well."
  • "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."
