A backup solution with better reporting and easy configuration
We were looking to replace our backup software and started doing a POC. During the POC, we realized the benefits of Clumio, especially given our small team. We always look for solutions that are easily manageable and not cumbersome. Clumio offers an easy interface, is simple to set up, and is easy to maintain. It provides a way to get daily reports directly from the software. Clumio has a straightforward setup; it involves deploying an OVF agent and connecting it to the cloud. Once connected, it begins backing up to the cloud. You can easily go to the cloud console and specify which servers need backups, and it starts the process. Different policies can be defined and assigned to servers, making the process much easier. Clumio also sends daily report emails, so every morning, we receive a report detailing what was successfully backed up and what failed. Their support is also good. If a backup fails twice, they proactively open a ticket and contact to resolve the issue.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"One of the most valuable features is the integration. Another good feature is the instant recovery."
"The feature that we have found most valuable is its traffic plan. The traffic plan is very good."
"Its ease of use for restore is really good. For Exchange, the Exchange Active Directory is great."
"We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work."
"Veeam Backup Replication is stable I have not had any problems."
"I like the backup and backup copy features."
"One of the newest features in version 12.1 is malware detection. This feature allows the software to detect malware before initiating a backup job for a server. Although I haven't had the opportunity to personally try it out due to its recent release, I came across it while working on an environment in a cluster for a customer."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment."
"We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."
"We had one problem once with the network."
"The product's pricing is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The remote SQL server has had multiple sizing issues within the logs and SQL backup space and sharing with other database apps."
"The patching can be quite difficult at times."
"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities. It could integrate with automation services to automatically resolve identified issues rather than simply providing instructions to the user."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a one to ten scale, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as a five out of ten."
