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 has protected our office data and now restores individual emails while admins configure settings
Although Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a Backup as a Service, it should give slight leverage to the admins to do more of their own configurations. When it comes to Software as a Service, we do need to agree on certain things, as we do not have much control over the software. If Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 can improve, it would be better. It could be slightly better, but it is acceptable. As long as support is provided in a timely manner, it is good. I cannot tell it is fully bad or fully good. If I were to give a rating of one to five, I might give 3.5 to four. Rather than giving a help database, which is an ocean of information to search through ourselves, we should be able to open a ticket and have them guide us on how to do it. As an end-user, different levels of admins exist—a fresh admin and a more experienced admin. They need to encourage us to open a ticket quickly, and from there they should guide us straightforwardly with the steps to follow to achieve the desired outcome.

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."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"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."
"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"We have seen an ROI, we have been saved from incidents by this solution many times, we've avoided corruption of data, and we are not losing time thinking about how data could be protected."
"We have backups for Microsoft 365 because it is in the account of the complete tenant compromise. If we lose access to a tenant or all of the client's data gets Microsoft 365, and they lose access to all of their emails, OneDrive, and Teams data, then at least we have an off-site copy that is not linked to their Microsoft side of things."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The tool is easy to use and straightforward regarding restoration and creating backups. It's user-friendly, providing results and sending alerts when something goes wrong."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the ease of use. You only need to create a folder in your drive and it's as simple as dragging and dropping files to store them."
"This is definitely a product that I can recommend."
"The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive."
"Veeam does not really have competition in the Office 365 Backup space, which made the decision a slam dunk for me because it was the one product that solved the issue and it works."
 

Cons

"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."
"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"The credit system can be confusing, but if you talk to your account manager, they can help alleviate those concerns."
"We are still exploring the areas where improvements might be needed."
"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 use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower."
"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."
"Currently, I'm working for Huawei and they dropped the support for Huawei, so that's an issue for us."
"The solution could offer better reporting."
"It could be slightly better, but it is acceptable. As long as support is provided in a timely manner, it is good. I cannot tell it is fully bad or fully good."
"If one administrator wants to delete something in 365, another admin must approve it."
"We tried to use Veeam for our DRP. It was complicated to use and did not help us with our DRP needs due to our internet connectivity at that time."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We decided on Altaro because, from the point of view of the total cost, Altaro looks cheaper than Veeam. Veeam has a lot of costs that are not clear when you start it, which makes it less flexible than Altaro, but only after half a year, you can be really sure that you made a good decision."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"Veaam Backup is licensed per mailbox, which customers like because it's per user and so they don't have to pay for shared mailboxes."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a subscription-based solution."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"The price of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is inexpensive. We have a license to use the solution."
