string
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
It has improved our disaster recovery footprint. Previously, backups were only stored on premises. Having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
A UI refresh is always nice.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for four years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have been using Clumio for four years. Before that, we used AWS Backup and Snapshots.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not consider alternate solutions, as I had an internal Clumio representative relationship from a prior company.
What other advice do I have?
I hope CommVault continues to improve the product and keeps the pricing competitive.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Ensures efficient backup and recovery processes
What is our primary use case?
I use AWS Backup and Recovery for our AWS infrastructure to ensure efficient backup and recovery processes.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
I would like to see a Dry Run feature for a full disaster recovery implemented.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used the solution for 1 month.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
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.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The credit system can be confusing, but if you talk to your account manager, they can help alleviate those concerns.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not consider alternate solutions.
What other advice do I have?
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.
