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.

Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

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"
"One of the newest features in version 12.1 is malware detection. This feature allows the software to detect malware before initiating a backup job for a server. Although I haven't had the opportunity to personally try it out due to its recent release, I came across it while working on an environment in a cluster for a customer."
"The initial setup was not overly complex."
"The direct SAN backup feature perfectly integrates with our 3PAR storage infrastructure."
"It has helped us to protect our IP address and critical information."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is stable and the performance is good."
"One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of the solution's administration."
"They provide good technical support and we are satisfied with the support we have received."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The backup and integration could be improved."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"It's hard to answer because managing cloud storage in our version could be better, but now that they have improved it in the recent version, I cannot say it's a better point because I know it should be already fixed."
"Veeam Data Platform should improve its air gap backup features."
"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."
"They need full cloud integration such that an on-premises backup can be offloaded to the cloud for storage."
"They can improve the features and Veeam Enterprise Manager. The interface and features are kind of limited. It would be good if they can provide more features and a better interface. For example, if I want to provide certain users with the privilege to back up and restore and do day-to-day tasks, I cannot do it in the current version. It is like you either give everything to everyone or no user can have access to anything. In version 9, a lot of features were missing, and it wasn't clear. Version 10 is easier from the communication perspective, and the disk backup option is very clear."
"The price can be a bit expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors."
"It is an affordable solution."
"The cost is based on the number of core servers."
"We are fine with its pricing policy."
"This is an expensive solution and came at a higher cost than expected."
"Overall, I'm not happy with the pricing. The price could be improved. Every year, most vendors try to increase the price. It says it's being upgraded, but there's no improvement. The product stays the same, but the licensing costs are increasing."
"The changes in pricing have been an interesting aspect. It seems to have become pricier, resulting in a reduction in affordability. There are extra expenses involved, including hardware requirements and the procurement of operating system licenses, which must also be taken into account. I would rate the price seven out of ten."
"We use the community edition of the Veeam Backup Replication and it is a software-based license. It can be a little expensive."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
