“Commvault leads with breadth of backup support and attention to enterprise needs”


Today’s IT leaders are faced with a complex balancing act of driving innovation, protecting from cyber threats while optimizing budgets. This balancing act gets more interesting with applications and data increasingly distributed across on-premises, multiple clouds, and edge. A robust, flexible data resilience strategy across all this hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure is your best defense in keeping your data protected in an increasingly difficult world.

The recently released report, The Forrester Wave™: Data Resilience Solution Suites, Q4 2022 (DRSS) nicely breaks down these key data resilience tenets into a set of comprehensive evaluation criteria. Broadly, an effective data protection solution needs to:

  • Offer comprehensive support for diverse backup sources and restore targets
  • Secure their backups and the backup infrastructure from cyberthreats
  • Address evolving data protection needs, especially in SaaS and container environments

We are honored that the Forrester Wave for Data Resilience Solutions has recognized Commvault as a leader, when evaluated against these critical requirements across current offering, strategy, and market presence. We believe Commvault stands out not just in how we are protecting your data today but also in how our vision and roadmap is future-proofing your IT transformation. We received the highest score possible in 19 criteria because of our joint innovation with our customers and partners – last year alone we delivered over 400 customer requested enhancements and roadmap inputs from our 10,000 strong and growing customer community.

As a Product Manager, it’s no surprise that I get excited by each and every innovation that we have built into our portfolio. I wanted to highlight some of the key aspects in the Forrester Wave, all of which reflect the key aspects that our customers love, trust, and greatly benefit from:

  • We scored the highest in the “Current Offering” category with the top score in the Backup and Restore Functionality criteria – Commvault differentiated itself in 8 out of the 13 different backup-and-restore criteria.
  • The lines are blurring between data protection and data security, and we have been bringing these two worlds closer together through our many roadmap additions over the past year. Achieving one of the highest scores in the Security integration and awareness criterion is, in our opinion, a great validation of our customer-centric approach to data security.
  • Automation is top of mind for all our customers as a key means to reducing risk and increasing efficiency in an increasingly diverse environment. Forrester’s shout-out of our differentiated API-driven automation capabilities is for us a testament to our commitment to making automation simple.
  • We were specifically recognized for our comprehensive ransomware defense capabilities, with our recent addition of Metallic ThreatWise as an early warning cyber-deception defense mechanism.
  • Above all, it is essential that your chosen data protection vendor is a true visionary, always understanding and enabling your future needs. We believe that achieving the highest possible score in the Product Vision criterion reflects our commitment to being the trusted partner in your future journeys, regardless of what it takes!

What a fantastic year 2022 has been for Commvault! The result of the 2022 Forrester DRSS is, in our opinion, another important proof point of Commvault’s persistent leadership in the Data Protection Market, adding to our earlier leadership recognition from Gartner and GigaOM. And oh, there’s so much more innovation coming in 2023!

At Commvault we innovate for your today and for your tomorrow and strive to be the best partner for your organization. In this increasingly complex world, data protection has never been more important for enterprises, and we thank our customers and our broad ecosystem of partners for their trust and collaboration. And thank you to Forrester for this recognition.
