“Commvault Offers Extensive Backup Features but Requires Significant Maintenance Commitment”

Commvault is a robust backup platform with endless integrations and features, however, it is also a highly maintenance-intensive tool. pretty much needing a full time engineer focus on its governance and maintenance

CRITICAL

“Awful support mars otherwise OK backup product”

2.0
Mar 25, 2026
The platform works okay once you're up and running - a backup system obviously performs best when you never have to think about it. However, their support is absolutely abysmal. Whenever there's an actual issue you are only ever guided to generic KBs rather than given real personal support. Essentially, whenever anything is "out of the ordinary" the support quality takes a steep nosedive.

Commvault Cloud Likes & Dislikes

Like

Commvault pretty much has you cover or anything you want to backup, SQL servers, FIle Servers, VMs, AD, it can also replicate your backups and perform automatic recovery for testing and compliance requirements , their Microsoft Entra integration and O365 is really good

Like

Fire-and-forget. Relatively modern UI. OK pricing if all you need is simple M365 backup.

Like

What I like most is its comprehensive and reliable data protection capabilities and its ability to seamlessly integrate with various cloud platforms. the user-friendly interface also stands out, making it easier to manage and recover data.

Dislike

Because you can do so much with the tool, its management can become a nightmare. I like to describe Commvult as it's and airplane and not a car, it can take you almost anywhere you want to go, far beyond what most tools can do, but flying an airplane requires trained personnel, fuel, constant maintenance and operational discipline, if what you really need is just a car to get from point A to point B, there are simpler products that will get the job done with far less overhead

Dislike

Support is terrible, impossible to reach somebody with real knowledge.

Dislike

the complexity of the initial configuration, setting up the system integrating it with existing infrastructure can be quite challenging and time consuming, requiring a good deal of technical expertise

    We had a big problem with the old backup system, the Commvault system brought a wide range of benefits. Ease of including, changing and deleting VM machines, gain of disk space, through the use of Metadata. It is a robust tool and very easy to use.

    Clear Licensing and Streamlined Setup Highlighted in Cloud-Based Data Protection Solution

    5.0
    Feb 25, 2026
    We've used Commvault Cloud (previously Metallic) for multiple customers over the past 5 years. It has always been bulletproof. The setup has always been straight forward, and the licensing has been clear to understand. We've always had a great experience with Commvault account managers, increasing storage, licensing, etc. Backing up cloud workloads uses the public API, so you don't have VM-level backups traversing the edge firewall. Which, as anyone knows who's tried it, seriously reduces throughput and risks production traffic.
