Improves operations, cuts expenses, and is reliable
What is our primary use case?
Our company integrates Commvault Cloud, a backup and recovery software solution, for customers. While Commvault Cloud itself resides in the cloud, each customer has the flexibility to choose their preferred cloud provider.
How has it helped my organization?
Commvault Cloud has been reliable for our customer's data backups – I haven't encountered any problems, and restorations have consistently been stable.
Commvault Cloud streamlines operations with its built-in scheduler, but we can also leverage external scheduling tools through its Bay REST API. This allows for comprehensive disaster recovery processes, including source and replication monitoring, for both backups to the cloud and failovers back from the cloud, ultimately optimizing our disaster recovery workflows.
Commvault Cloud cuts operational expenses by eliminating the need for on-premise software installations, and its integration with multiple cloud storage providers allows us to leverage the most cost-effective options for our backups.
Commvault Cloud's deduplication technology and compression capabilities solved our challenge of backing up massive data volumes by eliminating redundant data and significantly reducing storage requirements.
What is most valuable?
Commvault Cloud stands out for its ease of use and reliable backups, along with its ability to handle large data volumes for VMs, servers, and applications. It offers flexibility with disaster recovery features, efficient storage management, and strong compliance capabilities for governance.
What needs improvement?
Commvault Cloud currently lacks support for backing up Proxmox environments, which limits its functionality. This is an area where the software could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Commvault Cloud for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability of Commvault Cloud ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the scalability of Commvault Cloud nine out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
While technical support offers a quick response time in English, French-language assistance comes with a wait due to limited availability.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment of Commvault Cloud is straightforward. The cloud version is much easier than the on-prem one because Commvault has reduced the product to the primary use for end users.
Commvault Cloud deployment time varies depending on what you're backing up. Simple setups, like backing up Microsoft Mailbox or SharePoint, can be done in one to two hours, while more complex on-premises installations for VMs or servers might take half a day up to one day.
Two to three people are required for the deployments. This includes one person from the customer's IT department and an end user of the application.
What about the implementation team?
We implement Commvault Cloud for our customers.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I would rate the price of Commvault Cloud seven out of ten with ten being the cheapest.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Commvault Cloud nine out of ten. Commvault Cloud is one of the best backup products I have used. When I install Commvault Cloud in a customer's organization, I never worry about it not working. It helps me sleep at night.
We handle Commvault Cloud maintenance for our customers, ensuring smooth operation. While issues are rare, we often assist customers with restoring data, as infrequent use can lead to forgetting the process. Additionally, we perform biannual agent upgrades to maintain optimal performance.
I recommend Commvault Cloud to others.
