Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have VMware, Hyper-V, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL. We have a lot of different systems, and all of them are supported under one licensing agreement. That's one of the benefits.""The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN.""The product is a reliable solution.""There's no impact on the endpoint. It runs in the background and it's something that you install and then forget about.""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.""Technical support is great.""We use Commvault Command Center for backups and restores and for the creation of new clients. We use it for other functionalities as well. In terms of VMware, I can go directly to the Command Center, enter VMware, and I can search it directly. Command Center is very useful and it can be used for more advanced techniques.""The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."

"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface.""They are a large company with good best practices, and they give good support.""The utilization of Data Domain is crucial because of its integration with a key Veritas feature: retention lock. This feature ensures data integrity by preventing any alterations to stored data. When NetBackup interacts with Data Domain, enabling the retention lock feature ensures that neither administrators nor backup personnel can modify data stored within the system. This functionality is vital for compliance purposes and meets the requirements of auditors.""The tool's most valuable feature is recovery.""The standout feature is its connectivity and robust support. They are easily easy to get hold of, making it convenient for us.""It has a lot of very good features. The virtual tape library (VTL) feature is most valuable. Overall, it is easy to use.""The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used in many different kinds of systems.""The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."

Cons
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI.""Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault.""The workflow has room for improvement.""The functional integration could be better.""For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments.""Mostly controls, visibility, cost allocation.""Data center backup must be improved.""Commvault Complete Data Protection would benefit from improving their training resources."

More Commvault Cloud Cons →

"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace.""Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly.""NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower.""The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk.""Technical support for this solution needs to be improved.""The scalability could be improved.""The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower.""It is not easy because I have worked a lot on the tool, and in case it gets corrupted at any point, it is not easy to restore the data without losing information is not easy."

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."
