Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great.""The user interface is very easy to navigate.""It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market.""We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it.""Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux.""This solution gives me the full insight without having to use other products, metrics, or reporting tools.""The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage.""The solution provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover our data across on-premise locations. Some of the guys have been using it to move a virtual machine from VMware to the Microsoft solution, Hyper-V. They back it up and then they restore to the different virtual machine provider, and that works great."

"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups.""The implementation is straightforward.""We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities.""It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half.""The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance.""HPE StoreOnce has high performance.""The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution.""The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."

Cons
"Its technical support could be better.""The solution needs better Office 365 data backup management.""The integration of Metallic could improve. It would be a benefit if Metallic could integrate with multiple applications or platforms.""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.""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.""They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward.""Could be easier to implement.""Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."

More Commvault Cloud Cons →

"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement.""I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed.""Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some.""I would like to see better integration with Veeam software.""improvement? HPE StoreOnce has a limitation with respect to controllers. Other tools offer more than one controller. I feel that the high availability of the view controller should be redundant. The tool’s control and UI part should be improved and made more advanced. The feature that helps with the manual movement of tapes should also be improved.""The solution's pricing could be improved.""We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product.""Agnostic backups."

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."

  • "The price puts me off. It's definitely on the high side."
  • "To be honest, we were quite happy with the price, but we always want things cheaper than they are. I think for what we got, we felt that the price was quite reasonable comparing it to other products that provide that same level of functionality."
  • "There are costs for additional storage and space."
  • "Price-wise, it comes with a high price tag when compared to other products."
  • "The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."
  • "We have got a perpetual license, and we have access to all the features. If you are using cloud banks, you can store the internal data in HPE Cloud if needed. You can offload the data to the HPE Cloud. It is a licensed product. We have got around 10 TB of cloud bank storage with a one-time payment. We specifically took 10 TB for very critical offsite backups. We can also increase it in blocks if needed."
  • "The licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."
  • "I think the product is competitive in terms of pricing. Other products like the one from Dell are costlier compared to the tool."
