A reliable backup solution that needs to incorporate a flexible pricing model
We use Boxafe for backup.  I like the tool's reliability. Its price is also cheap, and it gets delivered in two days.  Boxafe's pricing policy should be more flexible.  I have been working with the product for seven years.  The product is stable.  I rate Boxafe's scalability an eight out of…

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

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature was the repository."
"I like the tool's reliability. Its price is also cheap, and it gets delivered in two days."
"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 has a straightforward setup"
"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"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."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the pricing. This is the issue, the reason why we started using Synology."
"Boxafe's pricing policy should be more flexible."
"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."
"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."
"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 tool's price is cheap. I rate it five out of ten."

What needs improvement with Clumio?

What advice do you have for others considering Clumio?
Invest time upfront in your Terraform module design for Clumio policies. Decide early whether backup frequency is controlled per environment or per caller because refactoring that later across many...
