Devin Mehta - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager Infrastructure & Security at VISBY MEDICAL, INC.
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 have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"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."
"Clumio gave us a genuinely isolated vault that sits outside our AWS Organization's blast radius."
"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."
"If you want to sleep at night and not worry about your data, spend a few more $$ on the Veeam solution, and I guarantee you will love it."
"I would mostly recommend this product because it's easy to use and it is easy to install."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"If you are using a virtualized environment, there is nothing better than Veeam Backup and Veeam One."
"We use Veeam to protect our production environment without the need to install clients on every VM for every different MSFT applications that we have in production."
"Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense."
"It has improved our organization; I don't have to spend all day troubleshooting backups, so it has freed up a lot of time."
"The product is very reliable, easy to manage, and, above all, complete."
 

Cons

"The credit system can be confusing, but if you talk to your account manager, they can help alleviate those concerns."
"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"We are still exploring the areas where improvements might be needed."
"More alignment with Clumio and Commvault branding would have helped us understand the product better during the discovery phase."
"I would rate the technical support from Veeam 6 out of 10 because I have faced difficulties due to response time and quality of support."
"Scalability needs to be improved in the solution."
"The product must provide better security."
"The pricing is high. It's not the cheapest on the market."
"The software really needs to expand into physical machines backups."
"In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based."
"Sometimes it can be a bit slow to get assistance as we don't have production support."
"Tape support is still not performing as expected (at least for my opinion) as Veeam relates to tape backup as a repository instead of a long term archive."
