Eon vs. Commvault

Commvault’s architecture requires deploying backup servers and proxies in the cloud. These components must be patched, monitored, and scaled manually. You’re also billed by your cloud provider for the compute and storage powering that infrastructure.

Eon is fully cloud-native and deploys with no infrastructure, agents, or performance impact.

Commvault is powerful, but it demands tagging, scripts, and oversight. Eon delivers cloud backup posture management (CBPM):

• Maps all accounts, workloads, and resource types
• Automatically classifies data sensitivity (PII, PHI, PCI, etc.)
• Aligns backup policies to compliance standards
• Flags underprotected workloads — before they cause data loss

With Commvault, recovery often means a full system restore or digging through complex interfaces.

Eon gives you:

• Instant access to files, folders, and database records
• Full-text and structured search across all backups
• Cross-region, cross-account, cross-cloud restore without rehydration
• Sub-minute RTOs — no ticketing required

Commvault focuses on snapshot immutability and secure storage, but lacks active threat detection and rollback capabilities. Eon includes:

• Anomaly and entropy-based detection
• Built-in snapshot hold even after policy expiry
• Smart rollback to the last clean state
• Audit trail and EDR integration

Commvault introduces cost via:

• Agent licensing
• On-prem or IaaS media infrastructure
• Heavy S3 use with versioning and full copies

Eon:

• Uses true incremental backup
• Dedupes across cloud environments
• Enables schema-aware search on database backups (data lakes)
• Eliminates duplicate snapshots and rehydration costs
• Offers one all-in price — no surprise line items
