A toolbox for backup and recovery
What do you like best about the product?
Commvault Complete Backup and Recovery can pretty much back up anything; it is like having a toolbox with lots of different tools to help with all sorts of different challenges. It is great at just doing the simple things like File server or VM backups but allows you to also solve complex backup issues with workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is fairly complex, so it is a steep learning curve if you want to use the more advanced features that it offers. The new HTML console helps to reduce the complexity but it would be great if there were even more wizards to help with the process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are backing up M365 cloud workloads such as SharePoint Online, OneDrive and Exchange Online and looking at Azure workloads at present. We moved from using on-premises backups to Commvault Cloud and the biggest benefit has been the consistency of speed compared to the throttling that MS was applying to our on-premises backups. The GUI is nice and easy to use as well.

Since we implemented Commvault we have solved many issues when losing important data we lost.
The main benefit is that we need to recover a file we can do it anytime, also we can set up as many types of backups as we want (full, incremental). Also, their console alert it is extremely useful since you can identify easily if there is an issue when doing the backups.
Fast response when talking to them via chat or phone.

Very powerfull software to made Backups

Commvault it is a enterprise backup solution for all your needs
What do you like best about the product?
Well let me tell you that Commvault its really a full feature set of backup solutions for all your applications and virtual environment needs. I like the fact that in a single pane of glass I can have all my physical and virtual environments backup. You can define a a very customize backup policies that depends of the application needs. We use it mostly for oracle databases and VMware virtual environment. You can have multiple copies and algo the archiving feature its really neat. Just let your policies handle the automated backup jobs and your're good to go.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ok. let me tell you that in order to use the software to its full extend, you will need to take training. You need to know very well how policies are define and hoy can be schedule and use. So I have to say that it is not a intiuitive product. It has a little of complex to administer it the right way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Commvault we had around 3 tools to do the backups of all our applications (virtual and physical), now that we have it for over 2 years, we have automated the backup process really well. Just sit down and let commvault do its stuff.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do a PoC to know how the backup solution works and if it is what are you looking for. Also if you are buying, then is a must to include training.
The best backup software
What do you like best about the product?
You have all in one software and in just an administration console. The deduplication and compression ratio you get from the backups help you a lot to store all backup depending of the policies of retention that you need.
We have several agents or APIs to do better backups of our applications, bare metal, virtual machines, etc

What do you dislike about the product?
To understand all the function or the capabilities is hard, you must take a course to understand how simpana works. The admin console is not to intuitive so you need to figure out where are the option that you need. For this is mandatory take a course if is the first time you use commvoult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have the security that our backup works and now we can restore with the confidence that the backup will work.
We can do a backup of our ecosystem, we can use the APIs to do better backups of our application like Oracle, MSQL, SharePoint, windows server, Linux server, etc.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The price is quite expensive but not for all is the leader at this moment. If you will get for firsts time commvault I recommend to take a certificate course because the administration is quite difficult
Commvault Enterprise Backup
What do you like best about the product?
We use commvault as our enterprise backup. When I came here a year ago we had multiple backup systems that we were using and still use. My goal has been to roll out the commvault backup system to every area of our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far there is not much to dislike about the product. It really does what they say it can do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being a Financial Institution it is imperative that we backup our systems. Commvault does that for us. The benefit we are looking for in the long run is to have one system and one system only.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely recommend Commvault to anyone looking for a robust backup system.
