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 policies have strengthened security and replication but still need flexible long-term retention

The support and compatibility are areas of concern. When it comes to Azure workloads, Veeam Data Platform has limitations with only MS SQL database and Cosmos, and no other databases are supported by Veeam Backup for Azure. The main challenge I noticed is that enterprise customers may have a requirement to retain backups for 10 years or 15 years with monthly and weekly backups. In Veeam Data Platform, we do not have customization or compatibility to retain specific data backups as monthly and yearly. The retention schedule is fixed. For instance, it is the first Friday of the backup or the last Friday of the month. If it is weekly, it should be one of the weeks. If it is monthly, it should be the last Friday. For yearly, it is the last Friday of that respective month in that year. However, this should not be the case. When a customer confirms, 'Please go and take an EOD backup and retain it for 10 years,' Veeam Data Platform does not support this sort of customization. I even raised a case with Veeam Data Platform and they clearly stated that Veeam Data Platform only accepts the GFS policy according to the retention defined, and there is no customization available. This is a significant limitation. I should have the customization to go and take a backup of a specific date, month, or year, but Veeam Data Platform does not allow this and restricts me to only the policy supported. For example, if I take any backup, I do not have an option to extend the retention. If a customer asks, 'Please take a backup,' and later requests, 'No, it is very critical. Can you please extend the retention for 15 years?' Veeam Data Platform does not support this. Veeam Data Platform does not allow me to extend the retention in the way other tools do. These are limitations I came across in my experience, and I feel these are minimal requirements. The same features are offered by other third-party backup tools available in the market. From the analytics point of view, I personally feel some challenges. Veeam Data Platform has two different products: VBR and Veeam Backup for Azure. As we are running on cloud platforms, if we are in Azure, we must go for Veeam Backup for Azure. If we need to create copy jobs, I must again come to VBR. However, Veeam ONE is not capable enough to integrate both platforms. For instance, if I am taking backup of workloads through Veeam Backup for Azure, I could not find an option to integrate it into Veeam ONE for reports and analytics. It is only limited to VBR. Whatever jobs we created in VBR are displayed there, but Veeam Backup for Azure does not integrate, at least from what I have explored, and it should not be this way. Veeam ONE should support all Veeam Data Platform products.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Clumio gave us a genuinely isolated vault that sits outside our AWS Organization's blast radius."

"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."

"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."

"<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 now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."

"Clumio has a straightforward setup"

"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."

"Do it, it's a great product and is easy to use."

"If you have virtual environments or databases, Veeam Backup Replication is a good solution."

"We were able to recover our investment on Veeam within about 8 months, largely due to reduced licensing costs initially but mainly from a reduction in the management overheads and the previous babysitting we had to do of our backup solution."

"This product has improved the entire RTO and allows us to restore applications and services to customers within a few minutes."

"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to make use of an appliance to use as a staging disk to allow us to make fast recoveries directly from the bridge, helping us avoid using the communication links."

"We are able to restore VM very fast, with 0 downtime."

"Very good product for a mid-range company."

"We are satisfied with Veeam Backup Replication, it is a safeguard for our daily work and our environment and it has given us a substantial return on investment."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"We are still exploring the areas where improvements might be needed."

"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."

"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."

"More alignment with Clumio and Commvault branding would have helped us understand the product better during the discovery phase."

"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."

"Setting up for my case was completely different. There were some product-level bugs that caused a lot of challenges for Veeam Data Platform. So, it took a while."

"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."

"It still doesn't feel like a fully mature solution because it's not exactly ready for very large scale and complex environments with more than 1000 VMs."

"We had one problem once with the network."

"It's sometimes difficult identifying the resources for backup and I think that could be improved."

"I don't really like the proprietary file system or file structure, I always prefer the most simple functionalities where I can define this server, this file, these folders, backing up for this target, etc."

"Occasionally, we would experience slowness on our network that would cause Veeam to get out-of-sync with the replicas."

"Support for containers, and agent-less KVM backups, and Citrix environments."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Veeam ONE is offered at a good price."

"Veeam products are less expensive than other products. The licensing costs are low and they're pretty affordable."

"They have a free edition that can back up up to 10 VMs or physical servers. Small and medium businesses can use this edition until they can afford to get a license, and after they get a license, they just activate it on the same console. That's the amazing thing about it."

"If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors."

"This product is not cheap, but it's well worth the cost."

"Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."

"We try to use perpetual licensing, and there are no additional costs. They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing."

"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."
