External reviews are not included in the AWS star rating for the product.
Clumio is replacing our aging and outdated on-premises backup environment. We are using it to back up our whole virtualized environment at our data centers.
Clumio offers a highly predictable cost model for all our environments. It is very easy to manage one set of policies for all of our VM servers.
The best features Clumio offers are that it is very easy to operate. I appreciate the encryption features, operational reporting and analytics, ransomware recovery, and data storage in the cloud or on premises.
I use operational reporting and analytics by relying on the reports and insights that we receive, which enables us to make data-driven decisions. We are able to know when our backup system is operating properly or when it is not operating as expected.
Clumio provides multiple data restoration options that are valuable to our operations.
Clumio has positively impacted our organization as we are able to eliminate an aging backup infrastructure and free up expensive rack space.
Since Clumio is a relatively new product, it is not as feature-rich as some of the incumbents, though it remains a superior product compared to other alternatives.
Customized reporting capabilities are needed for this product.
I have been using Clumio for approximately five years and several months.
Clumio is very stable.
Clumio's scalability is very strong, handling an organization's growth effectively.
The customer support for Clumio is very responsive and proactive.
I previously used Zerto, VMware ESXi, and Citrix ADC before switching to Clumio.
Clumio's cost is very affordable and can be used by any size of organization. The pricing setup was straightforward.
I have seen a return on investment as we have been able to save significant time by eliminating an aging backup infrastructure and freeing up expensive rack space.
We have been able to reduce costs from 65% to 40%.
Before choosing Clumio, I evaluated other options including vSphere.
My advice for others looking to use Clumio is that Clumio support has been responsive, definite, and helpful. Clumio is a great tool and represents the answer to backup now and in the future.
A specific example of how I use Clumio in my day-to-day operations is that it addresses the problem of having a reliable backup source available for when recovery of data is needed. It allows us to eliminate the need for infrastructure strictly dedicated to backup and provides the flexibility of the cloud.
If you have a highly virtualized infrastructure, Clumio is the only choice right now. It was built in the cloud, for the cloud, and handles on-premises environments very effectively.
I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.
I use the product for air-gapped, off-premises backups.
It has improved our disaster recovery footprint. Previously, backups were only stored on premises. Having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security.
Policies are a valuable feature. I can create standard policies for instances and databases to enforce our company's information security policy. Using tags in AWS, I can add the desired tag for a policy and achieve compliance.
A UI refresh is always nice.
I have been using the solution for four years.
We have been using Clumio for four years. Before that, we used AWS Backup and Snapshots.
The cost model is better now with Pay-as-you-go. I was not a fan of the buy-up-front model due to the scaling of data size.
I did not consider alternate solutions, as I had an internal Clumio representative relationship from a prior company.
I hope CommVault continues to improve the product and keeps the pricing competitive.
I use the solution for backup and retention.
The solution has helped with cost optimization and provided clarity in our backup policy.
Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience.
More alignment with Clumio and Commvault branding would have helped us understand the product better during the discovery phase.
I have used the solution for one month.
Previously, we used the native AWS solution.
Having clarity on pricing is helpful.
We considered Veam and BackBlaze as alternate solutions.
The solution is easy to understand and set up.
I use AWS Backup and Recovery for our AWS infrastructure to ensure efficient backup and recovery processes.
We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment. This includes EC2 Instances, S3 Buckets, and DynamoDB Tables.
The Protect and Restore features are very helpful. I can set up tags to include specific assets in our environment for backup. When I include those tags in my search, the assets are easily found and can be added for backup. I love the restore feature and how easily I can restore files, folders, or an entire image.
I would like to see a Dry Run feature for a full disaster recovery implemented.
I have used the solution for 1 month.
I used N2W prior to this and was unhappy with multiple areas of the product. I found the backup and restore process confusing. I was charged for licensing and for hosting the platform in our ecosystem along with all the snapshots, which proved to be expensive.
The credit system can be confusing, but if you talk to your account manager, they can help alleviate those concerns.
I did not consider alternate solutions.
I recommend starting with a trial and ensuring that the CloudFormation stack properly deploys in your environment. Set up email alerting to make sure you receive notifications about backup successes or failures.
We’ve been using Clumio for several years, and it continues to exceed expectations. The platform is incredibly easy to use. Backups are straightforward, and restores are even simpler. The file-level restore functionality is especially useful and has saved us time on multiple occasions. One standout feature is the proactive alerting. We’re notified any time a backup fails, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. We also appreciate the built-in air-gapped architecture, which provides peace of mind and meets critical compliance and security requirements. Clumio just works, and that reliability is exactly what you want in a backup solution.
Clumio Protect & Backtrack makes DynamoDB incremental backups effortless and reliable. The backup process is smooth, and restoring data to a specific point in time is straightforward. It saves time and ensures data consistency without impacting performance. A great solution for DynamoDB data protection.
We looked at different options and solutions and found that Clumio is the best product with the best price.
Best of all, it just works and backs up everything quickly. For us it backed up over 100TB in a day.
Clumio is easy to use and offers multiple options to meet diverse user needs, making it a versatile cloud backup solution.
