As said before Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager is very useful for DR scenarios where you have your data up-to-date in another site/place where your Recovery Point Objective should be short - this is our case regarding some critical applications - and VOM is the best tool, in my opinion, to make those things happen.

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.

Pros
  • Replication
  • Reliability
  • Escalation

  • 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.

Cons
  • More pricing option for small to medium size companies
  • More user-friendly reporting options for intrusion detection
  • Customizable user access rights and profiles (e.g the ability to schedule different notifications for user profiles)

  • 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.

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.

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.

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.

Alternatives Considered
The features that Dell EMC and Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager offer are similar, and both are backed up by an impressive client portfolio. The difference is given by the cost,Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager, unfortunately, has a higher cost, in a world where Data Protection solutions are not the main reason why clients might choose you from a list of options. I believe that if it would diversify its portfolio, Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager would keep its leading marketing position for small-medium-size companies as well.

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.

Return on Investment
  • By keeping the data safe, with scheduled deletion options of certain sensitive information, we keep our company safe and avoid fines, reputational damage.
  • While the overall cost of Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager solutions are high, choosing or changing the location of where the data is stored in EU comes free of charge.
  • Automatic backup and recovery of data helps us maintain of certain level of trust, less disturbance in daily operations, reducing the high cost that tech data outages would cause.

  • 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.
