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."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"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."
"Clumio gave us a genuinely isolated vault that sits outside our AWS Organization's blast radius."
"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"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."
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"They provide good technical support and we are satisfied with the support we have received."
"It is a cheap solution with the ability to backup for our needs."
"The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time."
"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."
"When it comes to service cases, I would choose Veeam Data Platform over Commvault because restoring from Commvault can be time-consuming due to filtering tasks. Veeam Data Platform, on the other hand, offers a much simpler and faster restore process."
"I'm pleased with the ability to search for documents; it's very useful."
"We had a vendor screw up a financial accounting program at tax season, a critical time for one of our customers, and we were able to roll the VM back in under five minutes, and users were back on the software in under 10 minutes from restore."
"The user interface is good and it is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"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."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"We are still exploring the areas where improvements might be needed."
"I was not a fan of the buy-up-front model due to the scaling of data size."
"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."
"Veeam is not in SaaS right now."
"I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems."
"The scalability of the product in large organizations is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Sometimes, rarely, there is a bug that prevents enabling the restore button, which is hectic."
"The only improvement I could think of is it could be cheaper—cheaper is always good."
"Not sure, but maybe the weakest area is around integration with tape libraries at times."
"The solution is quite expensive, and that becomes an issue if you need to scale."
"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."
"It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten."
"When it comes to pricing for a backup solution for data centers, you do not care about the price. We just care about the service and want it to be reliable. In terms of subscription, it really makes sense. When you want to use all the functionalities it is good that Veeam did the subscription-based model, this is what gives it the most strength on the price."
"Its price is reasonable for a big company or a big client. It is not too much. It is cheaper than VMware."
"I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive."
"The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex. In particular, when mixing different requirements the licensing model is complex. For example, mixing a virtual machine backup and a file server backup in the same installation can be somewhat difficult and is expensive."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication has been increasing their price and my customers are asking why. They have CPU-based licenses and a Universal License, the prices should be reduced."
"Veeam Data Platform, it's pay-as-you-go. So, the more options you choose, the more consumption you have in monthly billing."
