Technical Account Manager / IT Consultant at OnServe - Your IT Department at OnServe
Inexpensive, easy to configure, good support, and it is easy to scale up when needed
The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with. Whether you're working on the appliance itself, or you're working on the cloud, it is basically the same interface. It got to the point where when we needed to recover a file, we didn't look at the backup solution anymore. Instead, we went right to the Datto Backupify. Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes. With this device, you're capable of logging into the interface or through an IP address to access the data that is stored on it. Recovery can be just a matter of spinning up a virtual machine or doing a full bare metal recovery, replacing the entire hardware-based server.

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.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"I'd recommend it it's a really good, straightforward, easy use system, with no hidden strings."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the fact that users themselves can self-provision and recover."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with."
"Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes."
"Clumio gave us a genuinely isolated vault that sits outside our AWS Organization's blast radius."
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"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."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."

"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."

Cons

"Not a ten because there's always room for improvement."
"The device does not allow you to do multiple backups over the whole environment."
"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"
"More alignment with Clumio and Commvault branding would have helped us understand the product better during the discovery phase."
"We are still exploring the areas where improvements might be needed."
"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"I was not a fan of the buy-up-front model due to the scaling of data size."
"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The costs were about $1,000 USD to buy the unit in the first place, and then between $250 and $300 per year for support."
