Cisco Cloud Object Storage (COS) vs. Commvault Cloud powered by Metallic AI

IBM Cloud storage is a platform for backing up and archiving an unlimited amount of data in a simple, inexpensive, and adaptable manner. It adds additional smart tier capabilities, such as automatic tier categorization and cost optimizations depending on data activity. More secure storage of sensitive information through encryption and fine-grained regulation. A single, permanent, safe, and inexpensive location for all that historical data is IBM's cloud. Now, with query-in-place and machine-learning technologies, developers may create a data lake from which to draw meaningful insights. Offering both high levels of data durability and transmission speed, it is ideal for storing sensitive information on devices that must remain unchanged. Because of the service's excessive latency, a conventional database cannot be stored on it.

Commvault works well in a large environments with a variety of client types and data classes. With its policy-based configurations, it makes administration of large environments easier when configuring storage and retention, copies, schedules, client configs, etc. Commvault also backs up just about everything you can think of, and works with almost all storage and compute platforms, so there are rarely any cases where Commvault cannot accommodate.

• Commvault is the Swiss Army knife for data protection in an Enterprise environment. You name the environment and Commvvault has something to protect it. Very helpful in this on-prem/off-prem world that is developing into a DevOps world.
• Improves our Disaster Recovery
• Starting to utilize for data migration for VMware in places where Zerto is too expensive

• Better 3rd party integration is needed for the use cases where applications can use Cisco Cloud Object Storage (COS) directly.
• Cisco Cloud Object Storage (COS) implementation with an On-premise network can be made more robust.
• There can be some enhancement in the version control feature of the files specifically for the REST API based applications.

• For database restores, it has to restore the entire database in order to recover just one table.
• Backups of virtual machines with direct attached storage is difficult.
• I wish it covered cloud assets more thoroughly, like AWS ELBs and Security Groups.

It is serving it's purpose and for companies that have a smaller IT staff, it is not time consuming to manage. Support for the product when needed has been very good and they are responsive when tickets are opened for support. The product is scalable so as we grow we can easily increase the resources as needed on the backend.

Cisco Cloud Object Storage (COS) stands out in terms of scalability, reliability, and security. Even the storage plans are competitive with other cloud object storage providers. It provides great performance for unstructured data and large datasets, which are highly used in industries requiring analyses of large datasets. For an efficient user experience, it also provides content delivery for the users spanning across the globe.

Have a interface very user friendly. You do not need a lot of training, or any formal training really, to get up and going and use nearly all of the functionality of the product. This facilitates the post-implementation company as it reduces costs with backup specialists and any trained analyst can take care of its infrastructure. One negative point is not all the options and features are in the HTML view.

I would rate Commvault's support as an 'average' support. Now that we have a very experienced guy working with Commvault, most of the time we can fix or do anything by ourselves. We had some issues with their support taking a really long time to respond and fix some issues in the past. In most cases we ended up appealing to the community, other peers, or Commvault's SE team.

• I am not privy to ROI, but just having confidence and trust that Commvault will back up whatever needs backing up, and that we will always be able to restore it quickly, allows our technical people to concentrate on the problem at hand, knowing that we do not have to worry about the safety of the data. This saves time for some very expensive human resources and shortens schedules by eliminating a whole class of data safety and disaster recovery issues.
