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.

Backup and recovery options integrate smoothly while affordability remains a challenge
My relationship with Veeam is that I am a reseller and system integrator. The support for both cloud-based and on-premises infrastructure from Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 impacts my data protection strategy because that's the reason we are using Veeam. Veeam is a platform that supports both on-prem and cloud. It's a single pane of glass that we can support both, which is one of the good reasons we are using Veeam. The key benefits my organization has experienced with Veeam's integration of SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, and Teams within its data protection framework are that single licensing is one of the things customers prefer to use because it's very easy for them to manage. I would rate Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 overall an eight on a scale from 1 to 10.

Pros

"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"Technical support in Veeam is good."
"Veeam makes modular solutions, so you can install Veeam Backup for Office 365 and Veeam Backup and Replication in one single server. You can do an all in one installation, and roll it out."
"One of the main features of the solution is it is easy to use."
"Its absolute functionality and intuitiveness are the most valuable features."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."
"It’s amazing how the solution helps restore old data."
"I find Veeam's customer service and support to be excellent, rating them ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
"The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified."
"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"The solution could improve scalability, both in terms of more storage and users. These two attributes are quite important when you talk about good scalability."
"One major drawback is that Veeam doesn't support migrating data once it's stored in object storage like S3."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"We decided on Altaro because, from the point of view of the total cost, Altaro looks cheaper than Veeam. Veeam has a lot of costs that are not clear when you start it, which makes it less flexible than Altaro, but only after half a year, you can be really sure that you made a good decision."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"Veaam Backup is licensed per mailbox, which customers like because it's per user and so they don't have to pay for shared mailboxes."
"The pricing is expensive."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
