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 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

"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"<p>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.</p>"
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Clumio gave us a genuinely isolated vault that sits outside our AWS Organization's blast radius."
"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
"I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in implementation, as it is a good solution with good email capacity and is easy to use."
"Technical support in Veeam is good; if you face any issues, the response times are good and the engineers' quality is also good, most of the time."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up not only to the cloud but also to your local environment so a copy of your data can be kept on-prem."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 are its intuitive interface, ease of use, and unlimited capacity for backup and restore."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with M365. Its GUI is intuitive and not bad. The granular recovery options for VMs have been useful, though not as crucial as Office 365 integration, which is why we use it. Granular recovery depends on the specific problems our customers face."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"The product is very stable and performs exceptionally well."
 

Cons

"We are still exploring the areas where improvements might be needed."
"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The credit system can be confusing, but if you talk to your account manager, they can help alleviate those concerns."
"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"More alignment with Clumio and Commvault branding would have helped us understand the product better during the discovery phase."
"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."
"We attempted to use it for our DRP, however, we found it too expensive and complex, so we decided to use it just for backup."
"Its price could be improved."
"It's a new product. It's not mature."
"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."
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
"I find that technical support can be improved because for people who are knowledgeable, it is good, whereas for people who are not, the support is too technical."
"The solution is costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"I have a per-user license for the number of users and the mailboxes that I have."
"From our perspective in South Africa, our biggest challenge is the exchange rate from the South African currency to the US dollar. This makes it a bit pricey for us. However, compared to other backup solutions available, I would rate the pricing at a nine out of ten. For the servers, features, and functionality you get, it's worth the money. Of course, we'd always prefer things to be cheaper, but we also understand that you have to pay for proper functionality. So overall, it's not badly priced at all."
"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."
"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
"The solution is not expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
