Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery does its job well in any type of environment. The possibilities of backing up different types of environments with VMs, SQL, File Servers and their restore and disaster recovery process are extremely useful for any company.

It has a reasonable cost of implementation so I don't think it is the best idea for backing up smaller companies or simpler operations. The cost benefit may not pay.

It’s well suited for Nutanix AHV data protection and includes the ability for immutable backups via WORM policy. I’m unsure of its performance in environments that use Hyper-V OR VMware for virtualization. The use of tiered backups without additional policies are great when creating new VMs, even automatically assigning a default backup policy to ensure that all workloads have at least a minimal level of data protection

Pros
  • Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery provides complete auditing. Having worked with many products in the past, most fell short on reporting. In particular reporting on restores. Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery provides detailed information on operations that were performed, the account performing the operation and where was the data placed.
  • The flexibility of the product allows it to be more of a framework than a rigid application. By leveraging vendor specific API's, such as NetApp SnapVault/SnapMirror access, stronger integration and a more reliable service is produced. The workflow functionality and ability to utilize personal scripts helps administrators perform developer functions.
  • Support for aging technologies is a challenge for any large institution. Maintaining the ability to support old solutions, even in a limited capacity, is more desirable than bringing in a secondary solution or not support it at all.

  • Backup of virtual machines.
  • Upload to Cloud backups.
  • Recovery of databases backed up through HYCU.

Cons
  • For database restores, it has to restore the entire database in order to recover just one table.
  • Backups of virtual machines with direct attached storage is difficult.
  • I wish it covered cloud assets more thoroughly, like AWS ELBs and Security Groups.

  • Better DR support guidance/best practices
  • Reporting isn’t straightforward and as customizable as I’d like
  • Including M365 backups without additional cost would be a big value add for us

It is serving it's purpose and for companies that have a smaller IT staff, it is not time consuming to manage. Support for the product when needed has been very good and they are responsive when tickets are opened for support. The product is scalable so as we grow we can easily increase the resources as needed on the backend.

Usability
It's a 9 only because it is very complex to administer. It would be good if they could transform the management console to be more user friendly, while keeping its functionality and wide range of features. But it is a very complete tool, with a lot of fine adjustments to your backups, thresholds, policies, backup destinations. We're really satisfied with Commvault protecting our environment.

Very simple interface. Can learn it in a day. The instances where I needed a little hand holding, I just called support and they assisted immediately. That's the best of both worlds.

Support Rating
The real winner of this company and application is its staff of support engineers and the management. Seriously, I could hate the application and despise using it and would still subscribe and deploy 100% across the company. No other company works as hard for its users as Commvault. Having a solid application on top of this is more than anyone can ask for.

I have had several requests, and issues with the rollout and deployment of HYCU in our production environment. The HYCU team of support and developers have met each issue with importance and some kind of resolution or explanation of help. They have been so supportive even in the not so easy ones. That says something for their product and team behind it.

Plan well and make sure you collect all the required information and details before going for implementation. Organize it in step by step or break the setup into different modules to make it simple.

Many other backup and recovery platforms have their strengths and weaknesses. They might specialize in backing up VMs but fail to adequately backup Oracle databases, or do well in the cloud, but not so well on-premise. In my opinion, Commvault handles the variety of clients and situations in most enterprise datacenters the best with features for efficient and effective backup policies, such as deduplication for managing storage of backups and use of hardware and software snapshots to minimize impact to production storage and compute resources.

I have used several backup programs, I selected 2 just to be brief. The best thing I see with HYCU over Veeam is that it is much more difficult for an attacker if inside the network to gain access to the backups and objects saved in the backup storage. The best part about HYCU over Bacula is that it is much easier to use and more stable. The interface alone will save you from time and energy using other products

Return on Investment
  • Disaster Recovery. We wouldn't be able to do it at all without Commvault.
  • We are looking continually for data management opportunities to use Commvault instead of other products. To date that hasn't been significant for us much as I personally would like to see inside our company.
