Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The rate of duplication is great.""We can go from one page to another page, from office backups to VM backups, or applications like secret backups. So everything can be configured or restored from a single pin.""There are many valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X giving many possibilities to complete jobs.""I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies.""We can use it on-premises and in the cloud.""The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed.""It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it.""The most valuable feature is sharing data sets like they're in a private cloud. We call it our "private cloud" because we can share anything that is inside our backup set with our colleagues or with other people, and yet, everything is still in Belgrade, in Serbia. It's not somewhere else on cloud servers. Everything is in our environment."

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.""The initial setup is easy depending on the environment you are working with.""We feel the ability to move virtual machines while they are still running to be the most valuable feature."

Cons
"It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be.""The pricing could be more flexible in terms of licensing.""The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions.""The integration of Metallic could improve. It would be a benefit if Metallic could integrate with multiple applications or platforms.""Commvault is complex even if the product has comprehensive solutions and covers pretty much every technology out there. There's no unified way to manage all of the products on one single console.""There is room for improvement in terms of data security.""The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me. My OneDrive is protected by multifactor authentication, and to get the backup to begin behind that multifactor authentication took a little bit of almost customized support, even though I was following the instructions and the videos. That process could have been easier.""Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."

More Commvault Cloud Cons →

"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.""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."

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."
