It’s Commvault Simple!! IDC Survey Reveals That in 2021, Commvault Customers Drove Efficiency Up and Costs Down

Data is a company’s most critical asset—it helps organizations make money, spend money, and spot inefficiencies in their operations. But how are businesses effectively managing their data today?

The new IDC White Paper, sponsored by Commvault, “Quantifying the Business Value of Commvault Software: Worldwide Customer Survey Analysis,” digs deep into the customer experience with data management using Commvault solutions.

With more than 18 months of uncertainty around world events and business challenges—and more to come—IT right now faces a chaotic landscape with ever-evolving threats like ransomware, obstacles like lack of agility, and the overall need for data resiliency.

We’re diving into a blog series on this survey to uncover customers’ biggest challenges and how they’re leveraging Commvault’s Intelligent Data Services to overcome them. The survey covers 470+ Commvault customers and their struggles to manage and protect data wherever it lives. The 2021 survey updates similar surveys conducted by IDC commissioned by Commvault in 2016 and 2018.

According to the survey, Commvault’s key benefits fall into three categories:
