Overview
Commvault Cloud is an enterprise-grade platform built for unified cyber resilience across cloud-native, AI, and traditional datacenter applications to meet the demands of the hybrid enterprise in the face of ransomware and other cyber threats. Commvault Cloud unifies the best data security with the fastest recovery, advanced AI, and the power of a broad partner ecosystem to help the world's largest organizations reduce risk, minimize downtime, and keep business moving forward.
The Commvault Cloud Access Node (or Backup Gateway) is a specialized data mover or proxy that facilitates efficient, secure, and scalable backup/restore operations, especially in virtualized or cloud environments. It offloads data processing from source systems and ensures optimized data flow to backup storage. As access nodes, backup gateways connect with, discover, back up, and restore your data source (which the Commvault Cloud control panel cannot access directly). Note this is an infrastructure component of the Commvault software and requires an existing Commvault Cloud control plane to be used.
New in V11.42 and higher, the OS images are now pre-hardened with Center for Internet Security (CIS) Level 1 benchmark controls.
The Access Node software is free (covered under the BYOL Commvault software license) but you will pay the AWS infrastructure costs for running the virtual machine.
Highlights
- Integrates AWS Backup and Recovery within virtualized (cloud) or Commvault on-prem solutions which provides unified cyber resilience across cloud-native, AI, and traditional datacenter applications
- Agent-less backup of EC2 instances and EBS volumes; agent-based application backup and recovery from other platforms into AWS
- Efficient replication and source side deduplication built-in for cost optimization; writes directly to S3 or other storage libraries

Commvault Cloud 11.42.80: Clear daily reports and more tasks without relying on the Java console
Reviewed on Sep 23, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Our usage of Commvault Cloud—specifically version 11.42.80—has increased; previously, we handled almost everything via the Java console, but since this update, we perform many tasks directly within Commvault Cloud. Key advantages include daily backup reporting—which helps us meet our client's requirement for weekly reports—and the ability to clearly see what succeeded and what didn't. Within these reports, we utilize the "Calendar Job Summary" to view daily job execution by system; this allows us to identify failures without impacting business operations or onboarding processes, while also simplifying support and dashboard management.
What do you dislike about the product?
They release a lot of patches that fail to pass validation, which ends up impacting operations; although they are simple to install, something unexpected always comes up, forcing us to open a support case. In the version we use, we identified a bug involving AIX 7.2 and Oracle RAC. Another thing we dislike is that support is very disconnected—there is no one to coordinate or link the various issues together; they view things in silos, and we aren't entirely happy with that approach.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the new version, we achieved integration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and successfully integrated backups for OpenShift; the client is very pleased with this achievement—being able to back up the system after having been unable to do so for over a year with a different platform.

Easy, High-Performance Agent-Based Backups with Great Cloud storage Integration
Reviewed on Sep 21, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
This has been my best experience with agent-based backups compared to other backup systems. It offers a lot of control while still being easy to use, for example when backing up databases such as SQL Server or PostgreSQL. I’ve also seen a very good deduplication ratio and high backup/copy performance. The integration with mixed and archive tiers of Cloud Storage (like OCI Archive Storage) is another plus. Support has been helpful as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive licensing, especially for workloads like M365. There are also some inconsistencies between the CommCell Console and Command Center. Command Center lacks some of the functionality that is available in the CommCell Console.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maintaining business continuity while handling day-to-day administrative issues.
