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 has a straightforward setup"
"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."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"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."
"Overall, we are happy with this software and have not found any limitations to it."
"The whole replication aspect of the solution is excellent because it compresses the data so well."
"The most critical features of Veeam Data Platform for ensuring availability and integrity are its fast virtual machine restoration using duplication for quick backups and the COBRA point functionality that allows us to run regu"
"Regarding the initial setup and configuration, I find it straightforward and it should not be more simplified because users are able to back up most environments within minutes."
"ROI for backup point of view comes only when you are in a condition that only backup can help, I have been in such conditions many times in which Veeam has proved to be an EXCELLENT ROI for my company."
"It's a pretty complete product."
"I love the ability to either restore the entire VM or just a single file if needed."
"As of now, we have never had any issues with Veeam, it has performed perfectly, and it's a very mature product."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
"We are still exploring the areas where improvements might be needed."
"The credit system can be confusing, but if you talk to your account manager, they can help alleviate those concerns."
"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."
"The only improvement I could think of is it could be cheaper—cheaper is always good. Sometimes the product is just finished. Cheaper is always nice for the customer, but the company needs to benefit so that they can keep maintaining the product. New Windows versions, etc., always take some work. At the moment, I wouldn't switch to another solution because of the money."
"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with. For example, there is no solution for VM to VM replication when it comes to Oracle OEM servers."
"We found that due to faster than typical internet speeds available (i.e. 1 GB) – we were not seeing the benefits that we had expected."
"The solution is quite expensive, and that becomes an issue if you need to scale."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"I would want them to improve some technical features that are still missing because we are working with NetApp NVMe and they're not fully supporting it yet. But both NetApp and Veeam know about it and they're working on it."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
"Regarding managing LQ or Liberty delivery, there was no system initially; it was solely for backing up Vista Disc. I suggested enhancing this option. However, my experience with Dibree was unsatisfactory. I recommended adding Azure for EBMI XPower backup and incorporating SolarWinds for end-of-month risk processes, which were not part of the initial solution."

"The product is expensive."
"The price is quite fair."
"The price of Veeam Backup and Replication is expensive."
"It is reasonably very cheap. I would rate the licensing model a one out of ten, where one is very affordable and ten is extremely expensive."
"The solution's pricing is cheap."
"The tool’s licensing is yearly and flexible. I would rate the solution’s pricing a seven out of ten."
