Beatrice  Rice - PeerSpot reviewer

Modernized backup has replaced legacy hardware and now saves space with flexible recovery
The best features Clumio offers are that it is very easy to operate. I appreciate the encryption features, operational reporting and analytics, ransomware recovery, and data storage in the cloud or on premises. I use operational reporting and analytics by relying on the reports and insights that we receive, which enables us to make data-driven decisions. We are able to know when our backup system is operating properly or when it is not operating as expected. Clumio provides multiple data restoration options that are valuable to our operations. Clumio has positively impacted our organization as we are able to eliminate an aging backup infrastructure and free up expensive rack space.

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."
"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."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"Clumio is a great tool and represents the answer to backup now and in the future."
"I would highly recommend it to anyone running an extensive virtual environment."
"We use Veeam because it's easy to use."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"Let me start by mentioning that, before Veeam, my company used to backup data with Microsoft Robocopy; backup times now are more than ten times faster and the data to be moved is only a fraction."
"It is very easy to implement and by far a better product than any I have seen so far."
"It is a straightforward solution. There is no need for a dedicated technical person to do the backup and replication. Veeam is very straightforward when it comes to doing the replication."
"Veeam Cloud Connect has helped us to reduce the cost of cloud storage for an offsite solution using their archive storage feature."
"Instant VM Recovery provides very fast recovery of our critical VMs."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"Since Clumio is a relatively new product, it is not as feature-rich as some of the incumbents, though it remains a superior product compared to other alternatives."
"For me, I have trouble with large VMDK files (multi TB) regardless of where I place the proxy and while there are several others who have similar results, Veeam hasn’t seemed to find a solution for this yet."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication has been increasing and my customers are asking why."
"The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product."
"Customer Service: 2/10. Technical Support: 2/10."
"Veeam Data Platform needs to improve data backup for Oracle admin. It needs to improve its stability."
"The cost needs to be considered."
"Problems occur using VMware based snapshots."
"You may not be able to fully get rid of your regular backup software if you have physical servers or specialized applications that required specific plugins that Veeam does not support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM solution."
"Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."
