Commvault growth playbook

Diagnosis

Commvault is growing recurring revenue fast (subscription ARR of $1.05 billion, up 22%; SaaS over $100 million, up 39%), and its hiring shows where it wants more: a product-led path for Clumio builders, AWS co-sell, cloud-native hunters, a large German sales team, GSI partners and Marketo-run regional journeys.

The website loses some of that demand: links without "www" drop to the homepage, including the homepage's own Clumio button; /pricing is blank; and language tags hide the German site from German search. This playbook fixes those first, then builds Clumio's first-twenty-minutes path, numeric content for builders and partner kits.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Make Clumio easy to find, price and try without a salesperson, so the product-led motion and AWS co-sell grow together.

Biggest Risk

Eon, Rubrik, Cohesity and Veeam all pitch AI-era recovery; if builders hit dead ends on the website and in the trial, they choose the vendor that gets them to a first backup faster.

The three moves to make first. Each one is written up in full below.

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    Commvault is hiring a content engineer for Clumio's builders, who "arrive from a search result, an AI assistant, or a colleague's recommendation", and a Marketo specialist to build landing pages and emails. But any link to commvault.com without "www" loses its path: commvault.com/clumio, /trials, /request-demo and /pricing all land on the homepage. The homepage's own "Learn about Clumio" button points at http://Commvault.com/clumio, so a visitor who clicks it goes straight back to the homepage.

    Change the homepage button and watch clicks to /clumio for a week.

    Why it works

    Change the non-www redirect so it keeps the path (commvault.com/x goes to www.commvault.com/x), fix the homepage button to the www address, and search emails, ads, slides, partner portals and social bios for non-www links. Add a monitor that tests a sample of non-www paths every day.

    Shared links, typed addresses and links in colleagues' messages are how builders find Clumio. Each one that lands on the homepage instead of the page asked for is a likely lost trial, and the fix is one redirect rule.

    Ready to use

    ChecklistNon-www link check

    [ ] commvault.com/clumio lands on www.commvault.com/clumio
    [ ] commvault.com/trials and /request-demo keep their path
    [ ] Query strings (UTM tags) survive the redirect
    [ ] Homepage "Learn about Clumio" uses the www address
    [ ] Marketo templates use www links
    [ ] Daily monitor on 20 sample paths

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Redirect loops on edge cases

      Test http, https and query strings before release.

    • Hidden old links stay broken

      The path-keeping redirect fixes them all at once.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteThe homepage's "Learn about Clumio" button links to http://Commvault.com/clumio. Any address on commvault.com without "www" is sent to the homepage with its path dropped: commvault.com/clumio, /trials, /request-demo, /pricing and /platform/integrations all 301-redirect to https://www.commvault.com (checked several times on October 23, 2026). The same pages work at www.commvault.com, for example www.commvault.com/clumio.Source

They start a trial. And within about twenty minutes, they either get their first backup running or they close the tab." Clumio "is one of the top products in AWS Marketplace and carries an NPS of 88", but "the ceiling on a product-led motion" is "our content". The role is measured on "activation rate, time to first backup, trial-to-paid conversion, docs-sourced signups" and should make Commvault's content what an AI assistant draws from "how to protect S3 at scale", turning "petabytes, object counts, recovery times, cost deltas" into public proof and building "hands-on lab and GameDay content used at AWS events".Source

    Redirect /pricing to /clumio/pricing today.

    Why it works

    Redirect /pricing to a short pricing hub: Clumio's public per-GiB prices, a link to SaaS pricing, and "talk to sales" for Commvault Cloud. Or redirect it to /clumio/pricing and remove it from the sitemap. Write a real meta description either way.

    Pricing is one of the most visited pages for B2B buyers; an empty one looks like a broken site to someone evaluating a recovery vendor.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Redirect hides other pricing

      Link SaaS pricing from the hub.

    Evidence

    • Your websitewww.commvault.com/pricing is listed in the sitemap, set to "index, follow" and titled "Clumio Pricing | Commvault", but has an empty meta description and no content between the header and footer. The real price list is at /clumio/pricing (for example S3 SecureVault Standard backups at "$0.025 per GiB-month" plus "$1.50 per million managed objects/mo"); /clumio-pricing redirects there, and /saas-pricing is separate.Source

    Commvault is hiring a Director of Enterprise Sales for Germany, Enterprise and Commercial AEs across German regions, a DACH channel engineer and German-speaking success staff. The site has twelve country versions, but every alternate link is tagged hreflang="x-default" and the German homepage says it is English (lang="en-US"). Search engines are not told which page is German, so German searchers can be shown the US page.

    Fix the German homepage and check its search listing in two weeks.

    Why it works

    Generate hreflang tags per locale (en-US, en-GB, en-AU, en-CA, en-AE, en-IN, en-SA, de-DE, es-ES, fr-FR, it-IT, pt-BR) with one real x-default, set the html lang per locale, and check Search Console by country. Then add German case studies and a German demo path for the new team.

    Correct language signals help the right page rank in each country, and the new sellers get local inbound instead of only outbound.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Plugin overwrites the fix

      Fix it in the WordPress translation settings, not by hand.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteTwelve country and language versions (US, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, UAE, India, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Brazil).

    Why it works

    A/B test a form with business email, company and workload only; collect phone and title later in onboarding emails or enrich them. Keep the full form for regions where sales calls are expected.

    Each field cuts form completion, and builders who want to try the product are put off by a phone field.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Lower lead quality

      Judge by activation, not form fills.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteTrials page: "Experience Commvault Cloud free for 30 days", "No credit card information is needed".

    Publish one S3-at-petabyte-scale page.

    Why it works

    List the 30 questions builders ask (S3 versioning vs backup, restoring millions of objects, Iceberg recovery, cost at a petabyte) and publish one page each with worked examples, numbers from customers and the public price list. Track which pages assistants cite.

    Specific, numeric answers are what search and AI assistants quote, and they meet builders before they talk to sales.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Numbers go stale

      Date each page and review quarterly.

    Why it works

    Build a calculator: data size, object count, change rate and retention give a monthly cost by plan, compared with an estimate for keeping copies in S3 by hand. Offer to save the result and send it to an AWS private offer.

    A number in the buyer's own terms moves evaluation forward, and the calculator becomes a lead form that builders want to use.

    Package the GameDay as a self-serve lab: a sandbox AWS account with sample data, a scripted "incident", and a guided recovery with Clumio. Award a Readiverse Academy badge on completion.

    Recovering their own broken data is the most convincing demo, and it spreads by word of mouth among builders.

What customers say

Customers value broad workload coverage. The most cited problem: backup cost at large data volumes.

  • Clean, fast recovery after ransomware
  • Proving recovery readiness to boards and auditors
  • In their words: “clean recovery”

Market

Competitive landscape

4 competitors compared: Rubrik, Cohesity, Veeam and Eon.

  • Rubrik: Fewer cloud-native per-object price points in public
