Fri, 15th Sep 2023

GigaOm has named Commvault, an enterprise data protection provider for global businesses, a “Leader” and an “Outperformer” in its most recent report.  

An assessment of competing solutions, the GigaOm Radar for Hybrid Cloud Data Protection for Large Enterprises report places Commvault in the Leaders circle of the Innovation/Platform Play quadrant.

The report highlights its platform-driven approach with strong integration across the portfolio, a best-in-class BaaS (Backup-as-a-Service) experience, exceptional data management capabilities, and cyber resiliency features. 

Param Kumarasamy, Vice President of Product Management at Commvault, emphasises their commitment to providing robust data protection. 

"Commvault's strong position in GigaOm’s latest Radar report reaffirms our commitment to delivering secure, efficient, and scalable data protection,” says Kumarasamy. 

“With AI-driven anomaly detection, threat mitigation, and risk analysis capabilities, we help customers improve their security posture across any hybrid cloud environment.”  

The GigaOm Radar Report is a forward-looking analysis that plots vendor solutions’ relative value and progression based on strategy and execution. 

The Radar report includes a breakdown of each vendor’s offering, highlights the critical hybrid cloud data protection vendors, and, according to GigaOm, equips IT decision-makers with the information to select the best fit for their business and use case requirements. 

GigaOm defines large enterprises as organisations with 1,000 or more employees.

GigaOm describes Commvault as having “a comprehensive hybrid cloud data protection portfolio with excellent cyber resiliency capabilities and a very broad workload support across clouds,” deeming it “well-suited for organisations with advanced data management requirements.”

Max Mortillaro, Analyst, Data Analytics and AI, GigaOm, says: “Commvault delivers a best-in-class BaaS experience with Metallic. The solution offers broad services, including excellent cyber resiliency features and regulatory compliance.” 

“[Commvault] supports an extensive range of platforms, including multicloud, databases, unstructured data, Kubernetes, and SaaS applications, making it capable of replacing a traditional on-premises data protection solution for most use cases," says Mortillaro.

In addition to vast support for distributed cloud workloads, GigaOm also calls attention to Commvault’s robust security capabilities, including insights and posture management tools, malware scanning, threat detection and alerting, immutable data backups, and more.
