Secure backups have simplified compliance and now provide immutable protection for cloud workloads
The best features that Clumio offers are the ability to know when a backup has completed, to know how to restore both files at the file level and also restore EBS backups, point-in-time restores, as well as snapshots. Clumio has positively impacted our organization by providing us with the peace of mind of knowing that all of our EC2 instances are securely backed up. This peace of mind has translated into measurable outcomes as we adhere to NIST 800 compliance, and with that, we need immutable backups and the ability to have backups that do not exist within our existing tenants. Clumio fixes that problem for us.

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

"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"Clumio has positively impacted our organization by providing us with the peace of mind of knowing that all of our EC2 instances are securely backed up."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"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 gave us a genuinely isolated vault that sits outside our AWS Organization's blast radius."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"Its simplicity and the fact that it just works are most valuable. We kind of set it up and generally forget about it. It does what we need it to do in the background, and it doesn't involve a lot of management."
"The primary use case of this product is for disaster recovery and ransomware protection."
"Even though there's room for improvement, I believe it's a good solution."
"Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology."
"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"It is cost-effective. A lot of times, people pick Veeam because of its price."
"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."
 

Cons

"I was not a fan of the buy-up-front model due to the scaling of data size."
"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
"The credit system can be confusing, but if you talk to your account manager, they can help alleviate those concerns."
"We are still exploring the areas where improvements might be needed."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"More alignment with Clumio and Commvault branding would have helped us understand the product better during the discovery phase."
"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
"The essentials bundle is great value for money if you have storage from NetApp or HP, but you really have to make sure you will not reach the limits in the near future."
"The scalability of the product in large organizations is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"A different kind of scheduling. We would like to do backup twice a day."
"Physical servers backup should be improved in the product."
"Being able to do both VMware and Hyper-V backups at the same time. At the moment, as far as I know, you can only do one or the other."
"Improve the support of physical servers and bare metal recovery."
"I think it would be great if it could back up from inside virtual machines (like Backup Exec) with compression."
