We use the Commvault for data optimization because it maintains enough data. We have implemented it to run two incremental backups per day and a full backup at the end of the week. We also perform the restoration of the database and DR servers, using it.

Commvault is a software-based solution that can manage backups to any storage and VMs. It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate. Backups of large volumes do not take much time to complete. It also facilitates restoring Oracle data, which can be opened directly to a database after restoration without any user intervention.

There are still a lot of ways to improve the recruitment process. Commvault deployment is executed remotely, but managing their support on time is difficult. They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays.

I have been using Commvault Backup & Recovery as a customer for around two years.

The stability is good. I rate the product’s stability an eight out of ten.

There is some gap in technical support, but it is good. Restoration happens only when there is a disaster. In that case, customers always expect the solution providers to be present. They regularly go through the update process and release updates frequently.

The initial setup is easy. Integrating the database and server for clients might be difficult. The deployment does not take much time. However, changing advanced features or integration may take some time. Once the software and backups are ready, it will take seven to ten days to complete. You may need more people involved in the deployment if you have many servers. A team of two to three people is usually sufficient, including a deployment engineer from Commvault and two to three executives on the client side. I rate the process a six or seven out of ten.

The product generates a good return on investment.

I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten.

They should decide to go for Commvault Backup & Recovery or another solution depending on the infrastructure requirement.

I rate it a seven out of ten.

We now have the capability to recover a virtual machine without relying on the NFS system, but instead are able to use certain features provided by Commvault. This is why we've opted for Commvault over other technologies.

They could work on the implementation of the features.

We will be using Commvault Backup & Recovery for the next 3 years.

Every three years, we require server updates to either embrace new technologies or enhance our existing technology stack. Therefore, our approach involves reevaluating and refreshing our infrastructure every three years, so we can’t comment on this solution as we have started fresh.

We usually interact with integrators, however if the issue is complex, we refer to technicians for further support and guidance

We are consistently exploring new solutions for our systems, and each solution must align with our server requirements and other objectives. Our timing is also a key consideration, as we operate on a three-year cycle. We have worked with SAP, Oracle, and Cisco.

The installation is complex.

I can’t fully endorse it, because it depends on the final use of the customer. I would conservatively, rate it an eight out of ten.

The solution has the fastest backup and better licensing.

Compared to Rubrik, MongoDB Data Protector, and NetBackup, Commvault is better. The licensing team was quite tricky recently because they stopped the unlimited files for that license. Commvault made a bank of 500GB only, a node-based license can take it, which is disappointing. Reporting needs to be more granular. Also, there should be a showback of data being backed up, and the backup cost to share the cost internally with the department.

I have been using Commvault HyperScale X as a customer. I have almost nine HyperScale nodes and expect four more nodes this year.

The product is scalable. To scale, we need to buy more agents. We’re using HP hardware for HyperScale. We’ve three backup administrators working with the solution.

The customer support is interesting, but they need to work on their competency. My team is happy.

I work with a couple of other solutions, such as HP Store, Veeam, NetBackup, MongoDB Data Protector, and Rubrik. Commvault is the most competitive in the market because local support is easy and faster.

The solution is easy to implement if you have a proper infrastructure and require two people to set up.

The solution is bundled with hardware licensing. If I want to increase the hardware, I have to buy exactly the same because it's based on the core hardware license. We cannot tell discount because we have an NDA signed with Commvault because of my academic license. The solution is more expensive than NetBackup and Veeam but cheaper than Rubrik.

The solution is easy to use after four months of training. Before implementing, make sure you negotiate well and agree to the terms and conditions in advance. Once you implement it, you will use it for at least the next five to six years. So, you must negotiate and file a contract, the best way to know the cost of ownership in the beginning itself. Overall, I rate the solution an eight-point five out of ten.

We use the solution for file system backup, Linux OS system backup, and Domino backup. Our data center team uses the solution for testing servers and database-level backups. In my company, we are not using the end-point features.

Earlier, it would take us a long time to create a backup. After implementing Commvault, the time needed for creating a backup has been reduced.

IntelliSnap and file system backups are valuable features. There are multiple functions, but we are currently using these two functions.

Data center backup must be improved. We also want the product to provide us with a cloud-based backup. If we use Microsoft Exchange Online for email services, we want to know how to get a backup in Commvault.

I have been using the solution for the last three years.

I rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten.

The solution is really good in terms of scalability. I rate the scalability an eight out of ten. We have deployed the product in three factories. We are centrally managing the solution from the head office. Three people in our organization currently use the solution 24/7 to its maximum potential.

We have faced a little bit of delay in support. The support team is not available during the night. The product must improve support.

Previously, we were using EMC NetWorker. It had some limitations. We compared it with Commvault to determine which solution would fulfill our requirements. We switched to Commvault because it had certain features that were not available in EMC NetWorker.

The initial setup was easy. I would rate the ease of setup an eight out of ten. Currently, we are using the solution on-premises. We are also checking whether we can take backups on the cloud. It took us almost three to four months to deploy the product.

Commvault Professional Services helped us with the deployment. We required two or three professional team engineers for the deployment. We have two to three engineers to manage the solution in the data center.

The tool is affordable. I rate the pricing a six out of ten. Implementation requires additional costs because we need Commvault Professional Services.

We evaluated other options, like EMC Networker and Veeam.

People considering using the solution must consider their budget and requirements. They must also consider the quality of support. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for auto backup and tape library.

The product is used for backup purposes. Data backup is important for us. The product helps us secure our data.

The product is user-friendly. We can restore it very quickly. The browse option is also good for browsing files. We can also index files.

The product is expensive.

I have been working with the solution for the last two to three years. I am using the latest version of the solution.

The tool’s stability is good. I rate the stability an eight or nine out of ten.

The tool is perfect. I rate the scalability an eight and a half out of ten. It is scalable according to our needs. We have more than 100 users in our organization. We use the solution 24/7. We use it to its maximum potential.

The technical support is good. We have a team on site 24/7.

I rate the ease of setup a seven out of ten. New users may find the initial setup difficult.

We have a dedicated user for maintaining the solution.

I rate the pricing an eight out of ten.

We are still exploring the features since we are new users. We were using a different solution before Commvault. I joined the organization after we started using Commvault. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

Our clients use the solution for their emails.

The email archiving feature is very smooth and better than others.

The product must improve Oracle client configuration. It is difficult to configure clients of Oracle and SaaS. The solution must also improve bare metal restore for Oracle and Active Directory. Active Directory is not fully protected with bare metal restore. The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory.

The product must provide features for converting VM to physical and physical to VM.

I have been using the solution for six years.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

The tool’s scalability is very high. It can be scaled in any environment. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. In a single organization, we have 4000 to 6000 users. Our clients are enterprise businesses.

Technical support is very good. The support personnel are very fast and helpful.

It is easy to configure the tool. I rate the ease of setup a nine out of ten. The on-prem version is better than the cloud version. In the future, as the technology grows, the cloud version will be better. Our customers trust the on-prem version. It takes one day to deploy the product.

To deploy the solution, we must install Commvault’s master server and MediaAgent. Then, we must configure the email archiving solution and add storage.

The product is cheap. It is an integrated solution. I rate the pricing a two out of ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. We have to pay for the implementation services.

Our company has a partnership with Commvault. Overall, the solution is better than its competitors. I would advise people to use the solution again and again. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

We use the Commvault HyperScale X to manage complex infrastructure, so deployments are fast.

Commvault HyperScale X is also a good choice for regulations that require the backup system to be isolated from the rest of the infrastructure. If there is an issue with the software, we open a support ticket with the software vendor. We then escalate the case to the hardware support team.

Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions.

I have been using Commvault HyperScale X as a reseller for five years.

I rate the product’s stability an eight out of ten.

The scalability is very good, but there is a limitation on expanding the cluster to scale to a higher level. We have smaller and enterprise-level clients. I rate its scalability a nine out of ten.

We have a team of four to manage support. We have many paid credits for networking and application support.

The initial setup is moderately easy. I rate the process a seven on a scale of ten. The deployment time depends on the environment. It takes around four to eight hours to complete.

I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten.

If the customer needs to protect five terabytes of data, they will need five licenses if they need to upgrade to make devices flexible or create this model. Many small customers can start with a 10TB appliance, and enterprises can scale up to 50 TB. The appliance is compatible with various hardware platforms, including LG, Lenovo, IBM, Dell, etc.

I recommend the Commvault HyperScale X for its enhanced quality, performance focus, and data isolation. I recommend looking for support for various solutions from a single vendor. Overall, I rate it a seven out of ten.
