Rating: 10
Author: Colin Bogan

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a managed services provider, we use it both internally for our corporate backup solution as well as sell it as a service to our managed services customers. Commvault is used primarily for data protection, but we also use it for archiving and endpoint protection.

Pros and Cons

Virtual Server backups
SQL backups
Archiving

UI consistency
Better control over feature releases and hotfix packages. Sometimes there are too many bugs

Alternatives Considered

Dell EMC Avamar, Tivoli Storage Manager, Veeam Backup & Replication and Veritas NetBackup

Commvault is our flagship data management platform. We have a large Avamar presence but chose Commvault as our go-forward solution because of the array of features and capabilities that Commvault has that other products do not. We needed a full suite of data management tools and Commvault provided all of those tools in a single platform.

Support Rating

Commvault support is like nothing I've ever encountered. They go above and beyond to troubleshoot problems even when the source of the issue is not directly tied to the Commvault software.

Likelihood to Recommend

Commvault is very well suited for our situation where we are deploying MediaAgents and storage at a customer site, backing up their data, and then replicating those backups to a secondary site (cloud, hosted data center, or second customer site). The auxiliary copy capabilities, ransomware protection, and granular control for each copy make Commvault a very reliable product.

Reporting and alerting are major advantages that Commvault has over other products we support. With so much capability built into the product, we don't have to rely on 3rd-party tools to help us manage our Backup As A Service offering.
