Easy to setup, good support
So far so good. We've been a Clumio user for 3 months and have found initial setup support to be excellent (support during the trial, and then help setting up). And the site is easy to use.
I did get some confusing emails about a backup failure--but I didn't do anything...they had already investigated and it was working before I could even respond.
We are still evaluating costs, but I expect they will be as claimed, and I have yet to test a restore or file recovery. Between that and the costing which is not yet compared is the only reason for the 4 stars.
Great backup solution for cloud
Clumio is really the best, secure, scalable backup solution I have found. love the user-friendly interface. it tends to be a bit pricy but overall its great.
Low-friction way to protect AWS assets
We had a few bumps getting Clumio set up, but the support staff were very determined to make it work within a day. Setting up policies is logical and straightforward. The interface is clean enough that I don't fear I am overlooking something important that will come back to bite me later on.
EC2/S3 Backups
Easy to setup and configure, our backups were running within a day. The best product we found for S3 backups especially.
Simplifies DB backups
Earlier I was using Shell scripting to take DB backups. Now , Clumio made easy and organized for taking DB backups with ease.
I wish i can recommend this product across all the accounts in my organization. but, I find it expensive to convince the higher management.

Easy Backup Solution
What do you like best about the product?
I have never used Clumio until I started at this company. This was their backup solution, so I was the one who had to create the backup documentation. Clumio made it easy to follow and understand where to click and how to find the backups for complete backup and incremental. The restoration process is just as easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The built-in reporting could be a bit more robust. If we could edit or create manual reports, that would be great or get alerts via email.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were needing a straight forward backup and restoration solution.
Clumio Review
What do you like best about the product?
The main draw of Clumio was the Immutability of the backups created.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the daily summary email I get was more descriptive. On the report, I see 100% of my Cluster/instances/DBs were backed up successfully, but the "backup success" is 98%
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We know that if an AWS account was compromised or lost to a disaster, we have a way to ensure we can access a valid backup.
Clumio is great, I didn't put 10 as pricing is a bit expensive.
What do you like best about the product?
Upside is, once you set it up you can forget about it, all automated.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing goes up quickly when you start adding vm's/items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Compliance, most of the certification needs offsite backup.
A low cost Cloud backup solution
What do you like best about the product?
Clumio is designed for Vcenter and makes AWS affordable for smaller data centers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to the nature of how it backs up, every time we have an unexpected outage, it takes a while to fix all the connecotrs. Those outages are rare.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Off-site cloud backups!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you do any migrations or planned downtime, make sure you stop all your backups first.
