Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The storage backup is very efficient. This solution allows me to restore either the VM or the data, depending on what is needed. | It's very stable. We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it. It's the leader in backup and archiving. It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market. In the VM, we have Live Recovery, Live Mount, and Live Sync. Global deduplication and the indexing of the data object are the most valuable features. It saves costs on the product side by doing compression and deduplication. It will help you and make your life easy to reach the data that you need within the minimum downtime when it's required. It's an enterprise product. It's a stable product. We have good support. Almost all databases are in the scope. Backup and archive with a single window, with a single backup job. You only need to type "c". |
Cons | |
The support for Office365 backup is atrocious and is something that has to be improved. The user interface is a little bit confusing and it could be better. | The back of virtual machines needs improvement. I know they're working on it. They're always doing new things but I think they still have a little bit more to do. This solution can be complex and difficult to administer because it supports all of the many platforms, so it would help if they could simplify it. Its competitor, Veeam, includes backup and replication in the same product. I don't know if Commvault has it or not, but they should if they don't. 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. We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign. The setup is not that straightforward or easy. Even the documentation is not generic or public like other products. You have to be a partner or you have to have a specific account and download it from the vendor themselves. You need quite a lot of human resources to maintain a Commvault environment, to keep it operational. Also, it would be nice to if there were an easier way set up some Commvault components. 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 | |
The pricing of this solution is good, and it is one of the easiest things that you can sell Azure with. The pricing of this solution is ok, but I'm expecting that the price will decrease in the future. | 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. Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair. |
