The term "self-service" is a marketing term without much meaning, if any at all. With Commvault, anyone can clone the database, given the appropriate privileges. Privileges can be assigned by the Commvault administrator. Even at a gas station you need a credit card for "self service". Having a credit card is a privilege and very far from being universal, at that.
Also, I am not sure that the original topic included marketing of the products and doing feature by feature comparison. In my opinion, that part is not appropriate for this group. I also try not to push the products of my employer through this list. Refraining from marketing avoids awkward situations like this one. After all, I am a computer geek, not a sales person.
