  • Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery provides complete auditing. Having worked with many products in the past, most fell short on reporting. In particular reporting on restores. Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery provides detailed information on operations that were performed, the account performing the operation and where was the data placed.
  • The flexibility of the product allows it to be more of a framework than a rigid application. By leveraging vendor specific API's, such as NetApp SnapVault/SnapMirror access, stronger integration and a more reliable service is produced. The workflow functionality and ability to utilize personal scripts helps administrators perform developer functions.
  • Support for aging technologies is a challenge for any large institution. Maintaining the ability to support old solutions, even in a limited capacity, is more desirable than bringing in a secondary solution or not support it at all.
  • Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery has developed the concept of plans that work great in smaller institutions but can hamstring large enterprises by the limited flexibility. There are situations where plans appear to be forced into decisions. Ideally, providing the ability to disable plans would be beneficial.
  • The security model is granular in respects to permissions and ability to implement it for a single object (client, user, job). Implementing the correct collection of permissions can sometimes feel like opening a padlock. This appears to be a great place to implement a wizard for guiding administrators through desired behaviors and building the appropriate security role.

  • Deduplication: Allows for multiple point in time restores without using tons of backend storage. Commvault Dedup has been proven to work effectively time and time again in our environment.
  • Upgrade and Supportability: Commvault upgrades usually go extremely smoothly. The upgrade process is well documented via Commvault website. We are able to maintain a secure and up to date environment very easily.
  • Commvault IntelliSnap backup is a very effective and useful tool for protecting multiple VMS at a quick speed.
  • Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery's client based backups are just about as solid as any tool I have ever seen or used. Client side backups are very user friendly and extremely easy to deploy. I like the amount of information given when failures occur makes troubleshooting issues very easy.
  • Support is good until it is an advanced troubleshooting problem. Then it takes a very long time to get to DEV and sometimes even longer to fix.

  • Automation like workflow.
  • Ease of use, less complexity.
  • Excellent support, very pro-active.
  • Leaders in the backup realm.
  • Additional workflow template and not so much the canned reports that comes with it.
  • Pricing, it does get pricey when you start adding new features not purchased before hand.
  • Licensing structure, should be more flexible especially in for an enterprise level customers.

  • Manages thousands of backups across multiple OS types and releases
  • Provides an easy way to locate, view and restore the content of those backups.
  • Permits distributed configuration and control through role-based user accounts
  • Balances the workload against the backup infrastructure capabilities.
  • The new "extent-based-backup" feature is potentially a huge win and Commvault advantage for sites with enormous files to back up (terabytes), but the assignment of extents to backup streams could use some optimization, and there should be some tuning tools for extent-based backups.
  • It shouldn't be so hard to figure out how to get the GUI to use a larger font. The default font is extremely small and completely unsuitable for many of us with "Senior" in our titles.
  • It should be trivial to clone an existing backup set or client configuration and then update just the unique bits.

  • The virtual environment is protected. New machines can be included automatically.
  • Network bandwidth is used efficiently.
  • Failed backups are highlighted quickly so the underlying cause can be addressed.
  • Manually aging jobs to expire the data could be easier.
  • Jobs that run through a firewall can be tricky to get running.

  • Recent major release upgrades provide tools for pre-flight checks on the management servers if the environment is fit for upgrades or requires attention or fixes prior to a successful upgrade.
  • Recently we went through a management server consolidation exercise and it worked flawlessly and the process was pretty straightforward and easy to follow.
  • Support team is very responsive and provides confidence in solutions and good follow through until the problem is rectified or solved.
  • CommServe can manage backups for virtual machines via VSA without installing agents on virtual machines (non application aware backup)
  • Does not have any migration tools if a customer is migrating from a non-CommVault backup tool to CommVault.
  • If Full backups for Virtual Machines failed on a subclient, they can only be rerun for incrementals instead of FULL backups

  • Well designed to assist with protecting large environments.

  • Everything backup and recovery, replication, endpoints and cloud solutions can be managed by single console.
  • Having a web console makes it easier to access from anywhere.
  • Been able to use LAN free backups (using only fiber SAN network).

  • Point in time recovery of SQL databases.
  • Integration into multiple clouds for single pane management.
  • Encryption for endpoints using SaaS cloud offerings.
  • Simple archiving of data to long term storage.
  • End user self service data restore.
  • Licensing model is somewhat difficult to understand and estimate when deploying solution.
  • Legacy protocols for SaaS integrations still in place. Slow to upgrade.
  • Not cost efficient when compared to cloud integrated backup solutions.
  • There does not seem to be an offering for small companies or small deployments. Wish there was a light version for smaller clients. Wish there was a solution generator tool instead of a lengthy sales process for each new feature deployment.

  • Commvault offers the ability to recover all workloads in a single platform.
  • Their support is unmatched. When a problem arises, support is usually knowledgeable of a solution.
  • The only thing that I would like to see different is for Commvault to have a direct line that customers could call for escalated instances. No matter what the severity of your support instance is, you have to open a ticket via the web and wait for an engineer to pick it up.
