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

"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"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."
"It's very reliable."
"The functionalities that Veeam offers are fantastic."
"As of now, we have never had any issues with Veeam, it has performed perfectly, and it's a very mature product."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
"Its most valuable features are seeding and faster backups over small links."
"So far, it's worked quite well for our clients and I can't think of any places where the solution is lacking feature-wise."
"Even though there's room for improvement, I believe it's a good solution."
"The most valuable aspect is its reliability in recovering any replaceable data in the event of server issues in a production environment."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The initial setup was not straightforward or easy. It was difficult and complex."
"The price can be better."
"It would be beneficial if it could expand its coverage to support Frostbox and provide greater flexibility for service providers to recommend backup solutions based on customer preferences in prospective environments."
"Setting up for my case was completely different. There were some product-level bugs that caused a lot of challenges for Veeam Data Platform. So, it took a while."
"Physical workload protection and item level recovery for Linux-based systems."
"Improve compatibility with the database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL, and increase the number of compatible disk systems for the snapshot functionality."
"Not covering the physical environment is both a pro and con of the product."
"No issues as such with stability and scalability, but from the deployment perspective, we expect it to support a hybrid environment - multiple-edition deployment within one single Veeam Backup Server instance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive."
