Devin Mehta - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Raja Farrar - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Service Delivery Manager at Symposiam
Automation and AI have transformed our service delivery and have made IT support faster and more efficient
I always keep up with Freshservice's roadmaps and new features. Freshservice has been very good at listening to feedback and adding those feature requests into their next iterations. I wish they would offer more granular data export options for utilizing in Power BI, along with predictive analytics for capacity planning and SLA breaches to enable more proactive support management and reduce firefighting. While the dashboards are effective, some users find custom reporting limited compared to ServiceNow or Jira. I would also appreciate deeper integrations, especially for niche apps requiring development coding work to enable advanced orchestration. Native integrations for DevOps pipelines such as GitHub Actions and Jenkins, along with stronger API flexibility for complex workflows, would enhance functionality. Although the CMDB and asset management are solid, they do lack advanced dependency mapping compared to other enterprise tools. My wishlist includes automated impact analysis for changes and improved visualization of asset relationships, enabling quicker resolutions from an agent's perspective when alerts come in. I acknowledge that Device42 may enhance this, but it is an extra cost beyond what we already pay. While Freddy AI is excellent for triage and suggestions, some users desire more proactive automation, such as predictive ticket routing based on historical patterns and AI-driven capacity forecasting. Lastly, the pricing tiers might seem rigid for mid-sized teams, so a more granular add-on option for features such as Device42 or pay-per-use for orchestration workflows could be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"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."
"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 has a straightforward setup"
"It's very handy and very easy to use."
"We really like the Freshchat widget that allows people to engage with our FAQs on any kind of webpage or web property."
"We found the initial setup to be very simple."
"The most valuable feature is the sandbox, which allows me to test new configurations, automations, and workflows before taking them live on the production system."
"The tool is an easy, off-the-shelf product which allowed us to decommission our in-house system."
"It has reduced the time to look up who is responsible for a service, and it has reduced the time to finalize a service request because it now goes directly to the person who is responsible for the service in that location. So, a service request is handled quickly and directly by the person responsible for it."
"Depending on the size of your organization, is pretty standard and useful."
"It has allowed the client to implement service management processes that didn't previously exist in the business and to have more visibility and control of process tickets."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"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."
"More alignment with Clumio and Commvault branding would have helped us understand the product better during the discovery phase."
"Not integrated with Google."
"We'd like better integration with other products."
"Freshservice's technical support has issues with delays and translations."
"We did a review of our project management tool internally within the company, and it was one of the choices, but it didn't match up anywhere close to any of the other tools we were considering."
"In hindsight, Freshservice isn't the solution we should have chosen, as it's just not customisable enough."
"The product should look at BCM or ServiceNow and see if there are features that would make nice additions. It would help them stay competitive."
"Freshservice could improve the integration with Microsoft Outlook."
"I've had some problems with Freshservice's technical support. They often drag out cases by continually passing them on to other people, and they seem overeager to close tickets and sometimes mark them as resolved without checking first."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There are some additional costs but not that many. For example, we have unlimited assets, which is something for which we pay extra. We also paid for additional orchestration. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing. They are right in the middle."
"It was a middle tier. It wasn't an expensive one. It was a tier model usage. Licensing costs varied between admin users and regular users."
"The solution has an annual licensing model."
"It is $34 per license, per agent. Currently, we don't see any add-ons at extra fees."
"I don't think it's expensive for the US or some European markets. Still, when I used Freshservice in Mexico, some customers found it a bit pricey, especially considering the platform's features. I think the pricing is fair for use in the European market, but it might be perceived differently in Latin America."
"Freshservice price is competitive, it is not more than other solutions on the market."
"We're basically paying about $100 USD per agent per month."
"Compared to other tools, Freshservice is affordable."
