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"
"The most valuable features are the notifications, which give us failure alerts for some infrastructure within the backup, and the reporting is excellent."
"A simple and stable solution for small businesses that use virtualization."
"I'm pleased with the ability to search for documents; it's very useful."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the integrity of the backups."
"The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable."
"The solution is carefully designed to be easy to use - even if you're in a panic."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."
"Enables us to restore the VM when the needs arises and for disaster recovery."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
"In Linux, I suggest you backup for a PostgreSQL database."
"The stability for AIX machines could be better."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
"While the Veeam Backup Replication tool can mostly back up all the data in the environment, the AIX from IBM backup capabilities nowadays could stand improvement as they are not featured on a single pane of glass."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by making the monitoring system free. If I would like to have any monitoring system by Veeam I have to purchase it. It should come free with the solution. They should provide a monitoring system to make the work easier and smooth."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide."
"The cost needs to be considered."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get."
"Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."
"We pay for a license to use this solution, and we recommend that our customers pay for a license and a renewal license."
"It is relatively cheap."
"The price is quite competitive compared to other products in my region."
"Overall, I'm not happy with the pricing. The price could be improved. Every year, most vendors try to increase the price. It says it's being upgraded, but there's no improvement. The product stays the same, but the licensing costs are increasing."
