Overall Satisfaction with Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery

Commvault is our core Backup Enterprise tool, used to backup more than 1200 VMs and more than 120 physical Servers. It yearly addresses around 60 to 90 restores or recoveries.
  • It cover all our OS and application scenarios, both virtual and physical.
  • Brings us "peace of mind" on a reliable tool.
  • Have a very good support organization with really qualified technicians.
  • Maybe more deep CLI documentation (both "q" commands and SQL).
  • + We merged two backup tools into Commvault.
  • + We reduced RTO/RPO and we continue on.
  • + We plan "going to the cloud" with the certainty that Commvault will accompany us on the road!
Why Commvault? Well, working with backup software in the last 25 years, I decided on Commvault, for being a safe, reliable tool with excellent technical support and was for sure the tool to cover all our needs. First we started with our physical servers and the following year we also migrated our virtual servers. Today Commvault is a must to preserve our data, independently of the source. We rely on it. We backup more than 1100 VMs and more than 150 physical servers, implementing new end storage devices to reduce our RPO/RTO, get better backup performance, split data on short and long retention periods and always knowing that our data is there for when we need it.
If I had to define in a few words after 5 years why we continue with Commvault, these would be: reliability, innovative, good local partners and with excellent technical support (something that today is not easy to provide).
Just keep on the same path!
Based on my experience with other providers' support, I can say CV have a reliable support organization, one of the key points to choose CV.
