Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution's most valuable features are its backup capability and tight integration with other AWS services.""It's very easy to configure. Since it's a managed service, it's very straightforward to set up and use. And my customers get on with it very fast.""The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered.""We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications.""The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup.""It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud.""It also saves costs and is quick.""It works well as a backup and as a service."

More AWS Backup Pros →

"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market.""Commvault has support for backing up operating systems and servers.""Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful.""It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it.""The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage.""We can use it on-premises and in the cloud.""The product is a reliable solution.""One of the most valuable features is the encryption which helps save you from ransomware. Because the data is already encrypted, it cannot be encrypted again."

Cons
"They should work on their visual capabilities.""If AWS Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud.""Only the price could be improved.""There are some limitations to partial backup in AWS Backup.""The notifications on the backup and on the mobile app could be more useful. If they could arrange notes or notifications properly and offer services for managing it in our region, it would be helpful for us.""AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS.""Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors.""For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."

More AWS Backup Cons →

"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.""The product is expensive.""I would like to see more customizable reports. I have reports going right now, but the daily report, for example, shows something like 40 jobs that ran when there are just a few endpoints on there. I'd like to just know if the endpoint was successfully backed up, not how many times. More customizable reports would be nice to have.""The solution requires improvement with its connection and bandwidth.""I really struggled to configure HyperScale X as there was a lack of detailed documentation.""The local support could be improved.""It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement. Commvault could increase the training it provides to customers and partners.""The HTML interface is a remarkable improvement. However, there are still some features that are not available in that interface that are available in the Java console, but I'm sure that will come with time."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We don't use a lot of space, only approximately 900 GB, so the price is reasonable. For standing, it's okay. We normally do a payment to SSML, and they are the ones who pay over there. It is around $100 monthly."
  • "There is a lot of flexibility with the services and pricing. The price is reasonable when compared to other products. This is very good for us."
  • "There are no licensing costs for AWS Backup. You pay only for the amount of backup storage you use and then the data transferred between regions. Overall AWS Backup is priced reasonably."
  • "Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
  • "The solution's price is reasonable."
  • "Price-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. One only has to pay for the storage cost of AWS solutions, which is the standard cost provided by AWS."
  • "Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
  • "The pricing is decent."

  • "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."
