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

"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"It's very mature from a technology perspective."
"The cloud is ten times better than physical hardware; it is more cost-effective and the upgrade process is ten times easier."
"It is quick, secure, and has less hassles because we don't have to involve our networking team, infrastructure, etc. It is very easy to deploy and make market ready."
"Teradata can be easily used in ETL mode transformations, so there is no need for expensive and inconvenient ETL tools"
"It's very, very fast"
"The solution scales well on the cloud."
"Teradata's best feature is its speed with historical data."
"It is a solid database a lot of different tools to move data."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version or a cloud component. We have to use other solutions, such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Snowflake for the cloud."
"The setup is not straightforward."
"​The initial setup was complex as we had to rewrite a lot of the code.​"
"Data ingestion is done via external utilities and not by the query language itself. It would be more convenient to have that functionality within its SQL dialect."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
"Teradata has a few AI models, but in data science, we need more flexibility."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."
"The price of Teradata could be less expensive."
"It's a very expensive product."
"Teradata is not cheap, but you get what you pay for."
"The price needs to be more competitive as Hadoop, Redshift, Snowflake, etc are constantly making way into EDW space."
"We are looking for a more flexible cost model for the next version that we use, whether it be cloud or on-premise."
"Price is quite high, so if it is really possible to use other solutions (e.g. you do not have strict requirements for performance and huge data volumes), it might be better to look at alternatives from the RDBMS world."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
