COMMVAULT® CLOUD VS. VEEAM

When it Comes to Enterprise Data Security, Veeam’s Not All it Seems

Veeam promises to protect all your data. But they require a slew of add-ons to deliver on that promise that add costs and create vulnerabilities. Commvault Cloud delivers true cyber resilience that’s easier, smarter, and more adaptable than Veeam.

True cloud cyber resilience that delivers in every category

Built-in data security
Core data security features are built directly into our code – no third-party applications or separate tools needed.

The result?
Always-available critical threat prevention features you can rely on.

Dependent on separate tools
Veeam boasts about “immutability everywhere” but the truth is quite the opposite. Even basic backup immutability is limited – hence their reliance on 3rd party storage solutions to provide that functionality.

The result?
Increased risk that your backups are tampered in the event of a cyber breach.

Proactive: Earlier detection and response
Commvault Cloud provides a layered approach to threat detection, looking beyond the recovery environment to actively monitor the live data.

The result?
Earlier warning of potential threats and the ability to quickly respond and mitigate any impact.

Lacking in data security
Veeam lacks key features to harden their own solution like multi-person authentication or even enterprise-wide ransomware/malware detection. Plus, they have no way to automatically restore the last good copy of your data –forcing customers to manually comb backups to find the right files.

The result?
Limited detection means slower recovery and more risk to your data

Any workload. Anywhere.
Commvault Cloud supports the broadest spectrum of data platforms, workloads, and cloud native applications. Powered by Metallic AI, you can easily protect your cloud-native workloads and apps, SaaS, Kubernetes, and M365 data.

The result?
Consistent and integrated security for all of your data, wherever it lives.

Veeam seems to have a backup product for everything – but that’s the problem. Each product is a completely separate solution, each with its own UI, infrastructure, and resource pools that you need to buy, build, scale, and maintain.

The result?
The more places your data lives, the more products, cost, and complexity you need to add.

Build. Scale. Grow.
Commvault Cloud customers can choose a mix of appliance, reference architecture, virtual, cloud, and even SaaS to best fit their evolving business needs. Plus, features like global deduplication, dynamic provisioning and power management reduce infrastructure costs on-premises and in the cloud.

The result?
The ability to build and scale your environment with one solution, all at the industry’s lowest TCO.

Don’t forget all the hardware
Veeam likes to say they provide a low TCO, but their software is only half the picture. Since they lack a true SaaS offering, customers must provide all the infrastructure needed to run the solution for M365 protection, cloud-native backup, and more. This can also include 3rd party virtual appliances and object storage.

The result?
More cost, less flexibility.

“We evaluated other backup solutions like Veeam, but only Commvault Cloud had all the bells and whistles to enable fast and secure backup and recovery across Microsoft Azure, AWS, and on-premises environments in a single console.”
