The only drawbacks of clumio can be the speeds to restore large servers.

Would highly recommend to other organizations.

offsite disconnected backups that are not accessible by malware
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Can't really fault it at the moment, other than the lack of detailed emailable reports per individual server
Clumio is great, I didn't put 10 as pricing is a bit expensive.

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.
Great DR Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Clumio is a easy straight forward setup which only requires to setup cloud connectors for each site. From there you can go to the GUI and view all VM"s and choose which ones to back up. Also, there is proactive monitoring, so you will be contacted if there are any issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
You cannot restore files directly back to the production VM. It has to be downloaded from the Clumio portal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Clumio, we can meet our DR plan of having an offsite copy of all of our VM's on the cloud for a certain retention period without the headache of maintaining our local site branch DR site in the past.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Clumio is a great DRaaS solution for companies that don't have the physical infrastructure for a DR site and need a DR solution without the high capital & maintenance costs.
Awesome backup system built in the cloud and for the cloud
What do you like best about the product?
Very simple to use and works great. It is like using a Managed Service but with total control. It gives you the best of both worlds.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the UI features, which they are still working on, like being able to perform wild card searches.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides us with a single pane of glass to backup our AWS environment, our VMWare environment, and or Office 365 environment, all while saving us a lot of money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it and see for yourself.
Great Backup Solution

Restores sometimes takes a long time to complete.

We recently had a cyber attack and Clumio was a big help on getting us back up and running.
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.

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.
Review of Clumio
We've been using Clumio for a couple of months now as an evaluation to replace our current backup provider.
We use it to backup EC2 instances (via AMIs), RDS databases, DynamoDB tables and a few selected S3 buckets.
So far it has been working out OK.
We've done various recovery testing and those have been successful.
The web user interface is pretty nice and intuitive.
The feature where you can run direct SQL queries against RDS backups is very nice, once you come up to speed on how to use it.
We also rely on the fact that the backups are outside our AWS account, unreachable in case our AWS account got compromised.
The only drawback for us so far is they only support a few AWS regions so we cannot cover 100% of our resources at this point using Clumio.
Support is very responsive and helpful.
The best backup for AWS
Great Sales and Engineering teams. I was able to completely replace AWS Backup with Clumio and their Sales and Engineering team worked with me through the process. I now have more efficient backups, better protection, reporting and at a lower cost. I have needed help several times and their support team not only resolves my issues but tells me how to do things in the best way possible. No one comes close to matching what Clumio can provide with backing up AWS resources.
