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.

Backup has protected our office data and now restores individual emails while admins configure settings
Although Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a Backup as a Service, it should give slight leverage to the admins to do more of their own configurations. When it comes to Software as a Service, we do need to agree on certain things, as we do not have much control over the software. If Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 can improve, it would be better. It could be slightly better, but it is acceptable. As long as support is provided in a timely manner, it is good. I cannot tell it is fully bad or fully good. If I were to give a rating of one to five, I might give 3.5 to four. Rather than giving a help database, which is an ocean of information to search through ourselves, we should be able to open a ticket and have them guide us on how to do it. As an end-user, different levels of admins exist—a fresh admin and a more experienced admin. They need to encourage us to open a ticket quickly, and from there they should guide us straightforwardly with the steps to follow to achieve the desired outcome.

Pros

"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"<p>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.</p>"
"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."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"The way it backs up personal files is great."
"The solution is stable and, with the options available, it's the only one we've used."
"Overall, the solution is okay, the way the system is built is very good, the product offers good stability, the solution is scalable, we have found the technical support to be helpful, and the pricing of the solution is very reasonable and not expensive."
"The solution helps reduce our workload."
"We have seen an ROI, we have been saved from incidents by this solution many times, we've avoided corruption of data, and we are not losing time thinking about how data could be protected."
"When we did the comparison, we found it to be a cost-effective solution, and it included everything."
"Veaam technical support, from my perspective, is one of the best technical support I've ever engaged with."
"It is easy to use and easy to recover files."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"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."
"The solution could offer better reporting."
"While Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is a highly convenient product, there is room for improvement in its integration with Microsoft 365."
"They should include some more options to send alerts in existing monitoring software."
"A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system."
"The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified."
"We have found that there is a limitation in this solution where it only takes the backup of users who are using Office 365 Enterprise email IDs. We have many users in management and approximately 50 other users who are using Office 365 of which Veeam is able to capture the backup. However, for the other users who are on the local email server at that time, the solution is not able to capture the backup."
"I would like Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to increase the speed to reduce the backup time."
"Veeam is quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a subscription-based solution."
"The solution is not expensive."
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"We have 2000 users and pay about $10,000. It may be a little bit more per year. We have an education institute and may have fewer expenses."
"From our perspective in South Africa, our biggest challenge is the exchange rate from the South African currency to the US dollar. This makes it a bit pricey for us. However, compared to other backup solutions available, I would rate the pricing at a nine out of ten. For the servers, features, and functionality you get, it's worth the money. Of course, we'd always prefer things to be cheaper, but we also understand that you have to pay for proper functionality. So overall, it's not badly priced at all."
