Chose Microsoft Azure
Although some regions have dedicated workflows running on AWS, Microsoft Azure was chosen our Global Standard due to contract negotiation with Microsoft. It is also available in more regions than AWS, and we found its services and integrations more interesting for our use …
Commvault Complete Backup and Recovery and Veritas NetBackup are both Data Center Backup Solutions designed to archive and restore business data. Veritas NetBackup is used by many large enterprises due to its scalability. In contrast, Commvault Complete Backup and Recovery is popular with mid-sized to large businesses. This may be because Commvault Complete Backup and Recovery is designed to handle large, complex data infrastructure, even if it lacks the scalability Veritas offers.
Features
Commvault Complete Backup and Recovery and Veritas NetBackup both include essential data center backup features such as virtual machine snapshotting, but they each have some unique features that set them apart from each other.
Commvault Complete Backup and Recovery includes endpoint protection in addition to virtual machine snapshotting and recovery. The addition of endpoint protection makes Commvault Complete Backup and Recovery a good choice for businesses looking for a data protection tool that covers a wider range of security needs. Additionally, Commvault Complete Backup and Recovery offers a wide variety of integrations that fits into most IT infrastructures.
Veritas Netbackup is able to deploy rapidly, allowing businesses to very quickly implement containerized data protection. Quick deployment could be important to businesses that do multiple backups a day and do not want to waste time on lengthy deployments. Additionally, Veritas Netbackup includes self-service support to all users, so businesses will be able to troubleshoot any problems without issue.
Limitations
Although Commvault Complete Backup and Recovery and Veritas NetBackup both include data center backup features, they also have a few limitations that are important to be aware of.
Commvault Complete Backup and Recovery deploys slowly compared to Veritas NetBackup. If your business value rapid deployment, it may be worth considering Veritas NetBackup. Additionally, Comvault Complete Backup and Recovery does not include self-service support out of the box. Lack of self-service support could be an issue for businesses that expect to need heavy support.
Veritas NetBackup provides robust data center backup features but doesn’t provide endpoint security. Businesses looking for a wider variety of features beyond simple data center backup may consider other options. Additionally, Veritas Netbackup doesn’t have as many out of the box integrations as Commvault Complete Backup and Recovery, so businesses with many third-party solutions that need support may consider an easier to implement option.
Pricing
Commvault does not provide exact pricing for Commvault Complete Backup and Recovery, though interested businesses can reach out to the vendor for a quote.
Pricing for Veritas NetBackup depends on the license chosen, but users can expect to pay around $189.00 per month for the software.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
Comparison of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) features of Product A and Product B
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.
In terms of cloud computing, Microsoft Azure is the only comprehensive result the company offers. Regardless of how big or small an organization is, it can make use of this system. As a cyber-security professional, this is your best option for data management. A business that wants to minimize capital expenditures can use Microsoft Azure. Many Microsoft services accept it. People with little or no knowledge of cloud computing may find it impossible. It isn’t the solution for companies that don’t want to risk having only one platform and infrastructure vendor.
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
Azure simply provides end to end life cycle. Starting from the development to automated deployment, you will find [a] bunch of options. Custom hook-points allow [integration] on-premise resources as well.
Excellent documentation around all the services make it really easy for any novice. Overall support by [the] community and Azure Technical team is exceptional.
BOT Services, Computer Vision services, ML frameworks provide excellent results as compare to similar services provided by other giants in the same space.
Azure data services provide excellent support to ingest data from different sources, ETL, and consumption of data for BI purpose.
In our experience, Azure Kubernetes Survice was difficult to set up, which is why we used Kubernetes on top of VMs.
Azure REST API is a bit difficult to use, which made it difficult for us to automate our interactions with Azure.
Azure's Web UI does a good job of showing metrics on individual VMs, but it would be great if there was a way to show certain metrics from multiple VMs on one dashboard. For example, hard drive usage on our database VMs.
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.
Moving to Azure was and still is an organizational strategy and not simply changing vendors. Our product roadmap revolved around Azure as we are in the business of humanitarian relief and Azure and Microsoft play an important part in quickly and efficiently serving all of the world. Migration and investment in Azure should be considered as an overall strategy of an organization and communicated companywide.
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.
Microsoft Azure's overall usability has been better than expected. Often times vendors promise the world, only to leave you with a run-down town. Not the case with our experience. From an implementation perspective, all went perfect, and from the user-facing experience we have had no technical issues, just some learning curve issues that are more about "why" than "how"
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.
Support is easy with all the knowledge base articles available for free on the web. Plus, if you have a preferred status you can leverage their concierge support to get rapid response. Sometimes they’ll bounce you around a lot to get you to the right person, but they are quite responsive (especially when you are paying for the service). Many of the older Microsoft skills are also transferable from old-school on-prem to Azure-based virtual interfaces.
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.
As I have mentioned before the issue with my Oracle Mismatch Version issues that have put a delay on moving one of my platforms will justify my 7 rating.
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.
As I continue to evaluate the "big three" cloud providers for our clients, I make the following distinctions, though this gap continues to close. AWS is more granular, and inherently powerful in the configuration options compared to [Microsoft] Azure. It is a "developer" platform for cloud. However, Azure PowerShell is helping close this gap. Google Cloud is the leading containerization platform, largely thanks to it building kubernetes from the ground up. Azure containerization is getting better at having the same storage/deployment options.
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.
