Commvault Cloud powered by Metallic AI

Verified User
Manager in Information Technology (5001-10,000 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Commvault Cloud powered by Metallic AI to back up SalesForce instances for two different parts of the business. And in the near future, we'll be using it for M365.

Pros

  • Backs up up cloud workloads
  • Ease of use for on-prem customers of Commvault

Cons

  • More integration between on-prem and cloud instances
  • Commercials should favour a customer that uses both on prem and cloud

Return on Investment

  • We did not have a proper backup solution for Salesforce, so very positive response
  • Same goes for M365 in the near future

Usability

CommVault Cloud - Pretty, Pretty Good!

Verified User
Manager in Information Technology (1001-5000 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are slowly dipping our toe in the great pond that is AI, since it is a new technology and forever evolving.
As we use it more and more, we have the AI monitor and alert trends, along with analysis. Events that required our attention and issues that we deem were quite important were exposed on time and when needed!
This is actually a very effective tool with the current scope we have it set at and will expand it more in the future!

Pros

  • Universal Recovery
  • Instant Recovery
  • Business Application Detection
  • Snapshots!
  • Encryption!

Cons

  • Mobile Accessibility. We see this with the Commvault ComCel. I predict it will come soon!
  • Found the adoption of the technology did take some time to configure with our environment
  • The learning curve was a bit steep

Return on Investment

  • The onboarding process was challenging. We felt this could be improved
  • The enhanced data security impressed our internal security team
  • Downtime was reduced significantly overall comparing to past quarters
