Commvault Cloud Reviews

We can use it on-premises and in the cloud. 

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.

I have been using this solution for a year.

It is stable.

It is easy to scale.

The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment took a couple of weeks. The biggest challenge is about the equipment.

Its cost is reasonable, but anybody else can do better benchmarking.

You need to look at the cost as compared to other similar products.

I would rate Commvault an eight out of ten.

We deploy the solution on cloud and on-premises, but when we want to go on-premises, we need at least two servers, like CommServe and MediaAgent. Whereas we can use cloud from anywhere, like a web interface, without having a MediaAgent. Everything is flexible in the web console.

The solution could improve its security.

We have been using the solution for approximately eight months and are currently using the latest version.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have had a good experience with customer service and support. I rate them an eight out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. The setup timeframe depends on the bandwidth in the network and the gateway. First, we need to configure a gateway and then configure the endpoint as a physical server. There is only one endpoint, and there is no need to take a gateway or install it. Instead, you can configure it directly to the cloud.

We deployed the solution in-house.

The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We are a solution provider and Commvault is one of the backup and recovery solutions that we implement for our customers.

We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager. The support for this from Commvault is better than it is with Veritas.

Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage.

We have been using Commvault for one year.

This is a stable product.

I know that we can add nodes to the system, although I don't have much experience with scaling Commvault.

I have experience with several backup and recovery solutions, including product by Veritas.

Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis.

The suitability of this product and my recommendation for using it depend on the environment. Not all backup products are suitable for every environment.

In summary, this is a good product but it would be better if it were easier, and not as complex to use. 

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

The solution is used for normal backups, file system level backups, or database backups.

The solution is easy to use and the duplication is quite good.

The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The stability is good for the solution.

In my experience, the solution has been highly scalable.

The technical support has been good.

The setup is complicated and complex. The length of time it will take depends on the environment and how large it is.

It is best to use a consultant to do the deployment.

The solution is not cheap. However, for an enterprise-level solution, the price is comparable to other competitors. It would not be affordable for small to medium size organizations.

I recommend this solution to others. I would advise others wanting to implement this solution to spend some time on the initial setup and once the initial setup is done, then it will be quite easy to use.

I rate Commvault a nine out of ten.

We are using Commvault as our main backup software.

Commvault is very broad in its possibilities to keep the backup environment up and running.

What I like about Commvault is that it's very robust. When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive. Usually, there is a good direction towards the solution if there is a problem. Commvault is very self-supporting and the software tries to solve any issues by itself.

There is a bit of an overkill in functionality, especially in the interface, when you decide to deploy all of the software. I'm talking specifically about the Java console, which is the one we are using because it has all of the features that Commvault has in it. With so many features, sometimes you cannot find what you are looking for in the interface and you have to dig into books online to find out how to solve an issue.

The web console is more organized than the Java console, although it lacks some features.

In the next release, I would like to see different options made available for hot versus cold data.

I have been using Commvault for six years.

We have not been in contact directly with Commvault for technical support. We have a partner who takes care of all of the issues if any Commvault intervention is needed.

We are currently working through what we need for disaster recovery in general, and Commvault already has a major place in that. However, there are several things that we do not currently use, so there may be an option to use more of it for that benefit. For example, the product supports archiving capability, which is something that we do not use at this time.

In summary, this is a good backup solution but considering my comments on the GUI, it is not perfect.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The primary use case of Commvault Complete Data Protection is purely to protect the data in the database.

With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn. 

Commvault Complete Data Protection would benefit from improving their training resources. Some of the topics are very complex and are difficult to explain to our customers. The configurations are complex for users compared to other solutions. 

I have been using Commvault Complete Data Protection for four years.

This solution is stable. Every three months they perform maintenance and release the latest service.

We currently have approximately 30 customers that use Commvault Complete Data Protection. 

The initial setup of Commvault Complete is more complex when compared to some other products.

I would recommend Commvault Complete Data Protection to anyone who is considering implementing the solution into their organization.

Overall, I would rate the product an eight out of ten.

We are a service and solution provider, and we use Commvault to secure our client's data. Our motto of security is to secure the data and using this is very important. We are providing services to commercial and financial companies, so our data is critical.

We have two options for backing up data. We have a DR site, and we can also back it up on-premises.

This is a very technical solution that I would like to see Commvault offer customer support and marketing development resources in India. To my understanding, there is no marketing development team in India and we face problems when we speak with Commvault about these things.

When we send a query to Commvault, they take a long time to answer our questions. It can be very difficult to contact the Commvault team. Whenever we try to contact them, we are transferred to other distributors.

We have been using Commvault for the past full year.

Commvault is a stable product.

This solution is scalable, and we have more than 5,000 users that are using SAN services.

We don't require technical support or customer support from Commvault, as we have a dedicated team for the product.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The deployment was done in-house.

We have a dedicated Commvault team of 25 members. We have a test area, where Commvault and other products are tested. We have, for example, the Commvault test cases, data center test cases, computer testing, hyper-converged facilities, and more.

In India, this is a very expensive product.

We have not evaluated other options, as we are focusing on Commvault.

When we first started using Commvault, we had many problems. They were on a daily basis and including things like data access and data loads. At this point, we are no longer facing problems.

This is a product that I might recommend, although it depends on the scenario.

I would rate this solution a four out of ten.

We are using this solution to backup our public and private cloud data. It is very compatible with all backup types and environments. It backs up our databases, as well as other systems such as email and files.

We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it.

With Commvault, we provided trusted environment to our customer and increased our incomes with new customers.

The Commvault Console is very good, as it is capable of archive and backup in the same system.

This solution is very successful at cross-platform replication. 

Virtual machines backup window in GUI is not user friendly. Some improvements should be done to better user experience.

We have been using this solution for about three years.

This is a very stable product, and in fact, one of the reasons that we choose this solution.

This is a scalable product.

We have been using it more frequently in the past three months, and we have ten companies as clients who are using it for their backups. I do not know how many users they have. We are planning to increase usage.

We have been using technical support, and the response time is very acceptable. We have had no problem with support for this solution.

We previously used Acronis as our backup solution in this company, but it is not a stable product. It fails as we need to restore a backup, and we needed a stable product. We also needed support for many different platforms. I had worked with this solution at my previous company six years ago and was familiar with it, which is why we choose it.

The initial setup of this solution is not complex, and it was not hard for me.

The deployment takes between two and three hours.

We deployed this solution in-house, with our experience. We have a backup team of five people who are in charge of deployment and maintenance, although the team consists of three main people. They are backup administrators and backup experts.

We did not evaluate other options before we switched to Commvault from Acronis.

This is a product that I recommend because it is stable and has good support. However, it still has some limitations and can be improved.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
