KetanPatel6 - PeerSpot reviewer
A backup solution with better reporting and easy configuration
We were looking to replace our backup software and started doing a POC. During the POC, we realized the benefits of Clumio, especially given our small team. We always look for solutions that are easily manageable and not cumbersome. Clumio offers an easy interface, is simple to set up, and is easy to maintain. It provides a way to get daily reports directly from the software. Clumio has a straightforward setup; it involves deploying an OVF agent and connecting it to the cloud. Once connected, it begins backing up to the cloud. You can easily go to the cloud console and specify which servers need backups, and it starts the process. Different policies can be defined and assigned to servers, making the process much easier. Clumio also sends daily report emails, so every morning, we receive a report detailing what was successfully backed up and what failed. Their support is also good. If a backup fails twice, they proactively open a ticket and contact to resolve the issue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"NAKIVO gives us the security to retain valuable data backups and recover them in case of emergency."
"All in all, NAKIVO helped us save a lot of time."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"The back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich."
"It uses all the bandwidth available if not limited and backs up entire servers with all data about four times faster than Windows Server Backup and EaseUS TODO Backup."
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"There is a familiar error that pops up and that is a VM error as much as it is a Nakivo error. It says that the job couldn't calm the VM and restores might be impacted. That error is, to say the least, a bit scary. I have seen this type of error on other backup systems also."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"They had given a feature of real-time replication which they stopped in NAKIVO."
"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"From an administrator usage perspective, the interface is very intuitive, but maybe the wizard for creating and modifying backup jobs could look a little fancier."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
