TCO was the one of the major factors in our decision, Commvault did have it over the other products in there dashboard and the feature set, we have used Commvault Cloud in the past for other backup products and never had any issues. Both Veeam and Acronis have pros and cons …
Commvault Complete Data Protection supports Tape backup and Druva does not support tape based backup Commvault Complete Data Protection lets use own cloud account for backup storage to cloud Druva does not allow customer own account
Many other backup and recovery platforms have their strengths and weaknesses. They might specialize in backing up VMs but fail to adequately backup Oracle databases, or do well in the cloud, but not so well on-premise. In my opinion, Commvault handles the variety of clients and …
Not all the backup tools have the ability to backup directly to Cloud (Blobs, S3, etc.). It can be a little controversial, but when dealing with 900TB of user data to be backed up you don't have much options. When doing this backup to tapes, we had 2 giant Tape Libraries …
Veeam is not suited for large environment and has lot of issues when setup in large environment. It also has difficulty processing large-size data as it takes long time to merge the data with blocks required when it needs to expire the data. This is not a problem in Commvault.

Chose Commvault Cloud powered by Metallic AI
Hands down, CommVault exceeds the functionality of all products that we've evaluated. Few products bring together the comprehensive feature set that CommVault brings to our environment.
Before we chose Veeam Data Platform, we compared it with CommVault and Rubrik storage management solutions. However, to compare them by strengths, it was Veeam Data Platform that offered better VM integration and a way easier management console. One was the fact that it was …
Unlike many of the vendors above, Veeam is providing a solution that scales from one workload to hundreds and fits comprehensively in any of the spaces between without compromising the core functionality and feature set that makes it such a great product. Veeam are confident in …
Even though Veeam Backup and Replication was one of the most expensive products evaluated by our company, the overall package of the solution was enough so we can decide for this solution. The price of the support goes up every year, but the support team is really fast and …
Veeam B&R compares very well with other backup and restore (BUR) utilities, but the fact that it is free, easy to use, and hassle-free (set it and forget it) made it an easy choice. It does everything we need it to do and it does it without any compatibility issues, licensing …
Veeam Backup & Replication is cheaper and easier to manage. A system admin can easily install, configure and manage Veeam Backup and Replication, while for CommVault, it is better you hire an expert.
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.
I've been using Veeam for years, and it has been very consistent. Once it is set up and working, it keeps working. The biggest disruptions to Veeam have always been the upgrades. Veeam tells me about cool new features, and I upgrade, but then the upgrades seem to not install correctly, and I run into huge problems and have to contact support. You are guided to email-based support, and they don't respond and resolve issues quickly, which leads to a lot of stress. Then I remember to look up the support phone number, and that always leads to getting issues resolved. So, in summary, the product is great, but I wish they would push harder to get customer support tickets resolved quickly. It is very stressful not to have Veeam running when it is so essential to our business.
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
Easier way to coordinate or schedule jobs at one location or among multiple. For example, If I'm running a backup at one location, and I have another job going at another location where I want to replicate to the first location, some sort of feature so VMWare is aware there's a backup going and it should wait.
Additional reports, such as monthly reports that shows how many restore points were created per VM and how many incremental points failed for a VM in a month.
A feature that gives a better overall view of all your restore points, what jobs they belong to, their age and where the data lives.
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.
I have used many other data backup products that are on the market. I trust the configuration options within Veeam to do as they are labeled, without any specific back end software changes that may cause backups to fail if you don't use a systems integrator.
I trust the product for my own home environment as well due to relationship I have with the product at work.
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.
Veeam is fairly simple in terms of how it is set up; its not an overly-complicated dashboard that can be intimidating to less technically-inclined users. Veeam also offers good instructional videos to help users work through how to do specific functions. I appreciate that they have specific video tutorials rather than having users scroll through a cumbersome manual.
I give Veeam Data Platform a rating of 9 for availability because it consistently performs reliably in critical data protection and recovery tasks. The platform is designed to minimize downtime, ensuring that backup and recovery processes are accessible when needed.While there may be rare instances of maintenance or minor application errors, these do not significantly affect the overall reliability of the system. Veeam’s strong architecture and features like high availability configurations further enhance its performance, allowing us to trust it in crucial situations. Overall, it has proven to be a dependable solution that meets our organization's needs effectively.
To identify a bottleneck in the data path, Veeam Backup & Replication detects the component with the maximum workload, the component that works for the most time of the job. For example, you use a low-speed storage device as the backup repository. Even if VM data is retrieved from the SAN storage on the source side and transported over a high-speed link, VM data flow will still be impaired at the backup repository.
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.
All support cases were solved in a timely manner and there was no unnecessary communication needed to get the answers that were needed to solve the issue. Also the mail communication after closing support cases id on point without too much nagging for feedback or reviews of the completed support tickets.
I rated the in-person training an 8 because it was generally effective and provided a solid foundation for understanding the Veeam Data Platform. The instructors were knowledgeable and engaged, making the sessions interactive. However, I felt that some topics could have been covered in more depth, and additional hands-on exercises would have further reinforced the learning experience. Overall, it was a positive training session that adequately prepared attendees for using the product, but there's room for improvement.
I gave it a rating of 7 because, although the online training offered valuable content and covered the essential aspects of the Veeam Data Platform, it lacked interactivity and opportunities for direct engagement with instructors. This made it challenging to ask questions or delve deeper into specific topics. Additionally, some sections felt a bit rushed, which could hinder a comprehensive understanding of more complex features. Overall, while the training was useful, improvements in interactivity and pacing could elevate the experience significantly.
Plan well and make sure you collect all the required information and details before going for implementation. Organize it in step by step or break the setup into different modules to make it simple.
(I assume this question should say "Veeam" and not "Crownpeak Universal Consent Platform") Planning is key. Planning your backup schedule, size, data restore points, replication if you're doing that, &c. Testing is also important; make sure you back something up and then do a test restore. Set up alerts so you know if things aren't working (or even if they are, always good to know that too).
In the past it has been necessary to leverage multiple products to provide a complete data protection solution. Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery has been able to mirror the functions of competitive products while increasing functionality and management. Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery works cleanly in disparate environments that leverage dissimilar technologies and products.
Before we chose Veeam Data Platform, we compared it with CommVault and Rubrik storage management solutions. However, to compare them by strengths, it was Veeam Data Platform that offered better VM integration and a way easier management console. One was the fact that it was cheaper to use than the other platform, which was packed with a number of features.
In terms of scalability for our company, Veeam was able to cover our backup needs with ease. They have options for even more individualized backup if we were to need them; i.e. if a specific workstation needs its own independent backup. We have not used these resources yet, but I am confident they will be beneficial to our company in the near future.
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.
Protecting our customer's email has been a breeze with Veeam! It gives us peace of mind that the data is safe and easily accessible.
Protecting (and restoring when things have gone south) our half dozen mission critical software for managing and monitoring our network
We have a few physical endpoints we back up with Veeam and they're just as easy to restore or pull files from as needed as the virtual server backups are
