Overall Satisfaction with Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery

We have been using Commvault [Complete Backup & Recovery] for over 5 years in my company. We use the solution to backup part of our Virtual infrastructure and some file servers to tape. The possibility to implement it across many platforms such Virtual environment, File Servers and is a biggest challenges was to backup and protect data on a large scale of different environments but Commvault [Complete Backup & Recovery] is the best way to facilitate management and have a single view of backup processes. Our biggest challenge was to abandon our old tape backup software. Commvault [Complete Backup & Recovery] brought us a better interface and a greater reduction in support costs.
  • Simple interface
  • Virtual machines backup quickly and completely
  • Centralized management
  • Good Duplication ratio
  • Integration with NetApp storage and Esxi
  • The time to restore process could be better.
  • The Commvault support need an error to start a case
  • Some complex to implement
  • Positive impact in reducing costs with the old backup tool that was used in our company.
  • Even with high implementation costs, for medium or long term it is the best option.
  • Having a backup and disaster recovery tool has facilitated our way of operating company data.
  • It's best suited to large environments
  • And also is very recommended to protect a large NetApp environment
The option for replacement started with the need to replace our old backup software.
Commvault [Complete Backup & Recovery] brought us the possibility of reducing disaster recovery time, implementing a friendlier interface, a higher rate of data deduplication, the possibility of working with both tapes and other target repositories, as well as greater integration with the Netapp and VMware environment.
Our only downside in the entire Commvault Complete Backup & Recover environment is support.
We have some cases of doubts or implementation of best practices that we need an external consultant which costs us investment. The support always needs an error or something that is not working well to continue with the help. I hope that support for doubts and everyday items will be noticed by them soon.

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.
Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery does its job well in any type of environment. The possibilities of backing up different types of environments with VMs, SQL, File Servers and their restore and disaster recovery process are extremely useful for any company.

It has a reasonable cost of implementation so I don't think it is the best idea for backing up smaller companies or simpler operations. The cost benefit may not pay.
