Ransomware recovery has become validated and protects critical workloads across multiple accounts
The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy. Consolidating those or offering a slimmer permission set for read-only backup (versus full restore) would help with security review friction. Cross-account restore into a target account still requires manual steps for KMS. If Clumio could handle re-encrypting with the target account's CMK during restore rather than requiring Multi-Region Key pre-staging, that would save significant preparation time. Also, the restore API could surface better progress telemetry since right now, large RDS restores are a bit of a black box until they complete or fail. Finally, DocumentDB and MongoDB Atlas backup support would round out our stack nicely.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Clumio gave us a genuinely isolated vault that sits outside our AWS Organization's blast radius."
"Very reliable and fast data recovery."
"I spend 75-80% less time managing backups than I used to, troubleshooting is easier, and it has fewer moving parts than traditional backup solutions."
"I think this solution does VM back ups very well."
"The backup and replication features are most valuable."
"We are satisfied with Veeam Backup Replication, it is a safeguard for our daily work and our environment and it has given us a substantial return on investment."
"With the implementation of Veeam, our ROI increased from 30% (TSM) to 70% (Veeam), over the first three years."
"I think Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is an excellent solution for ensuring user-side disaster recovery. It involves a platform on-premise, which can be replicated to another site. It's a very effective solution, and we prioritize both the FTO and the FTO."
"The best solution in the market right now is Veeam ONE, so we continued using it."
 

Cons

"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"In future releases, I would like to see the solution provide auto resolution and auto relocation of resources."
"We are now looking to move off of DataDomain due to restore speeds."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
"The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex."
"Sometimes, when we shut it down, it doesn't properly shut down for us."
"Sometimes the solution give reports that are confusing and has errors. So the integration of the full solution with the resolution of resolving the error should be added in the next release.The solution should also provide more customization, automation, better documentation."
"The tech support could be better. I rate it as a six out of ten. Though this is not frequent, when we have had need to resort to it, we found it to not be good."
"They also do not monitor physical workloads, for example, physical Windows Servers and physical Linux Servers."
