Commvault scores top five rankings in 2025 Gartner data report

Commvault has achieved the top ranking in five out of six evaluated Use Cases in the 2025 Gartner Critical Capabilities for Backup and Data Protection Platforms report. The report assessed the capabilities of technology providers across key Use Cases such as Hybrid, Multicloud, SaaS, Data Services, Disaster Recovery, and Ransomware Protection, Detection and Recovery. Commvault is noted as the only provider to have received a score of 4.0 or higher out of a possible 5 across every one of these categories. The five categories in which Commvault ranked highest are Hybrid, Multicloud, SaaS, Data Services, and Disaster Recovery. The sixth evaluated category, Ransomware Protection, Detection and Recovery, also saw Commvault receive a score of 4.0 or higher, although it did not attain the very highest listed rank in that area. Commvault's leadership position The company's performance in the 2025 Critical Capabilities report follows closely on the heels of its designation as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Backup and Data Protection Platforms, marking the 14th consecutive occasion Commvault has been placed in the Leader category for this area. Commvault Cloud continues to set the standard for modern cyber resilience and recovery, especially as organizations face increasing pressure to defend against cyberattacks, streamline recovery, and protect workloads wherever they live," said Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology and AI Officer, Commvault. "We believe this recognition from Gartner further validates our strengths in architecture, cloud native data protection, and the customer-centric AI and ML capabilities. In addition to being recognised in the Critical Capabilities report, Commvault was named a Sample Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle for Data Security Technologies. This inclusion was, according to Commvault, indicative of its development into areas of cyber resiliency beyond conventional backup and recovery. Industry context Gartner's Hype Cycle provides an industry framework for assessing the maturity and adoption rates of new technologies and applications, as well as their suitability for business challenges and opportunities. The methodology seeks to offer insight into how technologies may develop over time, aiding organisations in their planning and deployment strategies. Gartner's published research assesses market participants independently and states that it does not endorse any particular vendor, product or service. Gartner also emphasises that its research should not be interpreted as statements of fact or recommendations limited to those receiving the highest ratings. The Critical Capabilities assessment, compiled by analysts Jason Donham, Rizvan Hussain, Sankalp Rastogi, Michael Hoeck, and Rene Rodriguez, forms a supplement to Gartner's Magic Quadrant evaluation, which is widely used by IT and business leaders to compare providers in the enterprise data protection arena. Commvault profile Commvault's solutions are targeted at organisations adopting hybrid cloud strategies, and the company currently works with over 100,000 customers worldwide. Its stated focus is on providing a platform for cyber resilience that aims to combine data security and recovery features. The comprehensive nature of the evaluation criteria in Gartner's Critical Capabilities report and Hype Cycle signals an ongoing demand for robust and flexible data protection, particularly as businesses increasingly look for scalable solutions to defend against cyber threats and ensure continuity of operations across diverse IT environments.
