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.
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 license) but you will pay the AWS infrastructure costs for running the virtual machine.
Highlights

What do you like best about the product?
I like using Commvault Cloud for downloading reports or workflows. I appreciate the air gap feature, especially since it’s not available in my local datacenter. With more than 20 years of experience working with Commvault, I find it easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the reports and forecasts lacking in Commvault Cloud. Also, the air gap feature is not available in my local datacenter, which limits its usefulness for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Commvault Cloud for storing my data.

Plans and CommandCenter delivered a clear, structured backup overview
Reviewed on Jul 23, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Transitioning to Plans really helped re-evaluating all workloads and their needs so in the end we now have a structured and clear overview of our backups and an easy onboarding processs for new clients without the need to dig into configuration details.
The CommandCenter also really helped our users having a clearer and more focused overview of their backups and important settings without getting distracted by unimportant menus they don't need.
I am really looking forward on improvements also for administrators.

What do you dislike about the product?
I feel like upgraded Commcells existing for various major versions are not considered that strongly in the documentation and overall development.
New deployments and configurations have different defaults than existing Commcells and we are always faced with new issues and optimization tasks which require intensive manual work (e.g. writing suitable API scripts) to adjust certain behaviour or performance characteristics.
There should be a comprehensive guide or report to optimize Commcell environments regardless of age and previous history.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Commvault supports all kind of workloads and we never encountered any major issues with configuration, backup or restore of any of them.
In general Commvault just works and does not really need micomanagement like other backup solutions.
The reliability and flexibility really helps focusing on overall improvements of our environment without getting distracted by too many everyday task.

Robust and reliable data protection for enterprise workloads
Reviewed on Jul 20, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The combination of reliability and centralized management provides the most value for our organization. Having a single interface to manage all workloads prevents configuration errors and ensures that our data protection policies are consistent across the entire infrastructure. This is a significant improvement compared to the older console which, even while functional, was somewhat burdensome to use at times.
Features like data immutability and built-in anomaly detection give us full confidence that our data is safe from ransomware and ready for recovery.
Furthermore, we highly appreciate the responsive technical support, which provides quick resolutions when needed, and the transparent pricing model that delivers excellent return on investment for an enterprise-grade platform.

What do you dislike about the product?
While the platform is evolving quickly, feature parity between the new cloud interface and the traditional console still isn’t fully there in some areas. Certain advanced configurations continue to require switching back to the old console, which breaks up the workflow and fragments the overall user experience.
We’d also like deeper visibility into individual backed-up assets and workloads directly from the main dashboard. In our experience, granular tracking of single entities can feel less intuitive than it used to, and it takes extra effort to track down to the details we need.
Finally, the built-in reporting could be stronger. We often need more detailed, ready-to-use compliance and infrastructure status reports without having to manually customize views just to get a clear, accurate picture of our environment.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were struggling to manage our hybrid infrastructure across multiple, separate tools. Commvault Cloud addressed this by centralizing our entire backup strategy in one place, which has reduced configuration errors and made day-to-day operations much simpler.
Protecting backup data from cyber threats was another major concern for us. With features like data immutability and built-in anomaly detection, the platform helps keep our backups safe from encryption and lowers our potential recovery time and financial risk. On top of that, tracking data compliance across diverse workloads used to take a lot of time. Now, the platform supports strict SLA consistency and automated data protection policies, making audit preparation and internal reporting far more straightforward.
