Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have multiple workloads, including SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, especially Sybase, as well as file systems, VMs, and Exchange mailboxes. Commvault provides very good support for them.""There's no impact on the endpoint. It runs in the background and it's something that you install and then forget about.""It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it.""The most valuable feature is the ability it gives me to automate backups well and consistently, and to follow up on them as well. It also provides consistent recovery processes. Whenever we have needed to do a restore, it has worked quickly and efficiently.""Great archive feature, OnePass, for the file system and Exchange servers.""It's very stable.""There are many valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X giving many possibilities to complete jobs.""Commvault has support for backing up operating systems and servers."

"The solution is very stable.""I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc.""It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines.""The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use.""It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts.""Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis.""The technical support is excellent."

Cons
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge.""We had some small issues with the reporting, but that was just a matter of fine-tuning the kinds of messages we receive by email. It was a little overwhelming in the initial configuration. So we reviewed our configuration with our partner and customized the reports so that we only get the important reports. I haven't seen any big issues or things that the solution is missing.""This is not a very high standard product.""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.""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.""I think the one thing that could be improved is the customer experience. The interface should be more user friendly.""Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer.""The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory."

More Commvault Cloud Cons →

"We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email.""There were minor UI bugs.""​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​""I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function.""The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better.""In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow.""Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."

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."

  • "EnCase is an affordable solution."
  • "We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
