Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The data is well-protected. It doesn't age off until it's copied. That's a big feature right there. When you reach the end of your retention, it does not expire until the secondary copy is completed. That allows you to hold onto data that otherwise would have aged off by retention. I like that feature. It's hard to just delete or lose data using the Commvault platform.""The solution is easy to use and the duplication is quite good.""It's the leader in backup and archiving.""The most valuable feature of Metallic is its flexibility and user-friendly.""The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform.""Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux.""It is a scalable solution.""The recovery features are useful. It is easy to recover data. If something happens, we can easily recover data. We have faced ransomware issues twice, and we recovered because of Commvault."

More Commvault Cloud Pros →

"The most valuable features are the backup and disaster recovery services.""Technical support is very proactive and helpful.""Setting up VMs can be done quickly. It is easy to use.""We feel the ability to move virtual machines while they are still running to be the most valuable feature.""The initial setup is easy depending on the environment you are working with."

Cons
"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface.""We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue.""The speed of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is adequate. Microsoft controls the amount of bandwidth that people have when they're using Azure and the O365 environment... If they could work out something with Microsoft to improve the speed, that would help.""Setup is complex.""The solution must provide deception files across the network.""The product's migration process and stability need improvement.""The product does not provide an option to save a copy of data on-premises.""Commvault has two management dashboards. The first is the CommCell Console, which is Java-based, and the second is Command Center. We don't always find all the features we need in the Command Center and we need to go through the Java console, and sometimes features are only on the Java console."

More Commvault Cloud Cons →

"When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient.""The improvements should be as per customer requirements.""It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution.""The automation should be simplified or improved.""VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage."

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."

  • "I would say VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery is very expensive in comparison with other available virtualization solutions."
  • "The price of VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery should be lowered in order to compete better in the market."
  • "The pricing is good."
