Devin Mehta - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager Infrastructure & Security at VISBY MEDICAL, INC.
Secure backups have simplified compliance and now provide immutable protection for cloud workloads
The best features that Clumio offers are the ability to know when a backup has completed, to know how to restore both files at the file level and also restore EBS backups, point-in-time restores, as well as snapshots. Clumio has positively impacted our organization by providing us with the peace of mind of knowing that all of our EC2 instances are securely backed up. This peace of mind has translated into measurable outcomes as we adhere to NIST 800 compliance, and with that, we need immutable backups and the ability to have backups that do not exist within our existing tenants. Clumio fixes that problem for us.

Unified data protection has simplified hybrid backups and has improved ransomware recovery speed
Commvault Cloud's best feature in terms of protection is that it provides data protection and accomplishes its job effectively. It offers a unified approach to backup across all environments, including on-premises, public cloud, and SaaS applications such as M365 and Salesforce. I also use it for virtual machines and databases. The unified protection approach helps my team manage different environments effectively. Before Commvault Cloud, I used a separate VM backup tool to protect the VMware environment. For database backup, I had to use the native tool or backup scripts. For the cloud part, I had to use the native AWS or Azure cloud tools. After moving to Commvault Cloud, a single policy or a set of backup policies is applied across virtual machines, databases, workloads, and cloud workloads. I can protect my environments, which reduces manual configuration errors. Regarding visibility, it provides one dashboard to manage and centralize monitoring of all workloads. It is very easy to track backup success or failure. I can see the SLA compliance and storage usage without needing to jump between tools to check or have visibility of it. Regarding the recovery experience, the recovery time has been reduced drastically by using Commvault Cloud. It has simplified cloud management and provides easier manageability to manage retention policies, encryption policies, and compliance rules. This helps reduce operational workloads. Commvault Cloud has impacted me very positively. It simplifies and unifies data protection across hybrid workloads. Instead of managing multiple backup tools for virtual machines, databases, and SaaS applications, I now have a single platform with consistent policies and centralized visibility. This has really reduced my operational complexity and improved backup reliability. Regarding the cyber resiliency posture, the immutable backups and ransomware recovery workflow give me greater confidence in recovering quicker from potential risks. Commvault Cloud has positively impacted me in several key areas: unified backup management across environments, reduced operational overhead, improved ransomware resiliency, faster recovery times, better visibility for compliance, and easier management of hybrid or cloud workloads.

Quotes from Members

"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"Clumio gave us a genuinely isolated vault that sits outside our AWS Organization's blast radius."
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"The 1-Touch recovery feature is helpful for all customers."
"The solution has provided our organization with a better security posture."
"We can use it on-premises and in the cloud."
"Commvault is easy to use, easy to deploy, and easy to update."
"They have a strong development team and are market leaders in the space."
"If you really want to understand your data, audit your data, really manipulate your data, and save money through your data, then Commvault is the place to go."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"More alignment with Clumio and Commvault branding would have helped us understand the product better during the discovery phase."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The credit system can be confusing, but if you talk to your account manager, they can help alleviate those concerns."
"We are still exploring the areas where improvements might be needed."
"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
"Commvault Complete Data Protection meets market standards, but an area for improvement is its licensing model. It would be good if it could use the subscription-based model rather than the traditional licensing model."
"I have written a lot of different reviews about the product and every time I have mentioned the user interface is not user-friendly, e.g., the admin portal is not user-friendly."
"The initial installation is straightforward and took approximately two days. However, the process could be more simple."
"Suppose I am restoring a particular file. If I want to restore the permissions only from that particular folder, that is not possible. I have to restore all the data for that particular folder. If there was an option to just restore the permissions, that would be better."
"They should move the CommServe outside of Windows machines and the database should be distributed among servers. It's still a single point of failure."
"They can always improve the interface design to make it easier."
"I just wanted to compare the features, which are there in EMC NetWorker, which are not available in Commvault. We have things using Networker."
"Its technical support could be better."

"The tool is cost-effective."
"The price is a little bit high."
"The product is very competitive for pricing in some countries because it is possible to set up Commvault hardware with other vendors using its certification."
"The solution is expensive. However, there are no additional costs involved. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The price should be reduced because it is too expensive for our customers."
"The solution is licensed based on the number of objects that we're going to back up, and that's a known quantity. As a result, we get predictable costs for our backup requirements."
"There is a bit of cost involved with signing up the entire solution. It's not a cheap solution."
"The solution is highly-priced."
