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.

Reliable multi-platform backups have protected diverse servers and virtual libraries
Quest NetVault can improve in the area of Office 365 backups. Two years ago, I purchased the Office 365 plug-in or leased it for a year, and I have never been able to have a solid backup of Office 365 using Quest NetVault. I have resorted to a different solution specifically for Office 365 backups. It is not that it never works, but it fails so many times that it is not production-ready. On a weekly basis, I encounter problems and have to restart jobs or figure out what is wrong and then run it again. It simply needs to run as all the other Quest NetVault jobs do. If tomorrow there was a brand new Quest NetVault and I had the option to add something to make my life easier, besides improving the Office 365 backup, I would like to see that Quest Co Store products should be a part of Quest NetVault. They work and interact, but I have the impression it should be one solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"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."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"The backup and recovery capabilities of NetVault Plus are very important for maintaining my business."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"Ultimately, our customers have been happy with the solution."
"Quest NetVault Plus has a high level of stability."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"NetVault Plus's Unified Manager Console is useful, it is great actually, and helps with the day-to-day activity for my end, making it easier for an IT manager like me."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"I was not a fan of the buy-up-front model due to the scaling of data size."
"We are still exploring the areas where improvements might be needed."
"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."
"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The storage capacity is very low."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"Improvements could be made in the deduplication and data management capabilities. There is also a need for better security measures, as security is critical to ensure backups are safe and free from malware."
"NetVault does not have the feature set that Commvault has."
"Veeam is the product that I can compare to NetVault Plus. I think Veeam Backup is better for VMware backup."
"There's no positive impact that NetVault Plus has brought to my company; I mean, there's no particular benefit I have seen from using it."
