Clumio vs. Metallic Office 365 Backup & Recovery

If you are in a highly virtualized infrastructure, Clumio is the only choice right now. It was built in the cloud, for the cloud, and handles on-premise environments very well. If your environment is lots of physical servers or lots of database servers, maybe start with a slower rollout of Clumio, but do not go with something else. Clumio is the answer to backup, now and in the future!

With the office 365 cloud storage being immense, locating files is very tiresome; that's why Metallic 365 stands out with the robust search controls to ease the strain. I constantly pinpoint data backed up with Metallic in just a few clicks. It supports all office 365 applications spanning (but not limited to) 365 groups, teams, and my favorite 365 SharePoint.

• We can create backup jobs that are easily manageable to control when the environment gets backed up.
• No backup is good unless you can easily restore from it and Metallic does a very good job at organizing our backups and delivering a restored copy when needed.
• We are able to restore multiple Office 365 tenants allowing us to test backup processes.

• Since Clumio is a new product, it is not as feature-rich as some of the incumbents, but it is still a superior product.

• The retention policies for mail boxes are rigid and inflexible.

Clumio support thas been both responsive, definitive, and helpful. They have been great to deal with as we have worked our way from Proof of Concept, to production roll out. They are quick to answer emails, and also alert us when they see a potential issue. These new "proactive" vendor support models are great to experience

There was nothing like Clumio to evaluate. We did look at some of the incumbent on-premise solutions that have cloud-based offerings. They all require hardware infrastructures to accomplish their job, thereby locking you into having to manage and update hardware. Clumio displaces these systems by offering a true cloud-based backup with no need to manage hardware, or maintain hardware, or manage software upgrades. And new features are added all the time without having to upgrade!

We chose Metallic Backup & Recovery over Backupify as we were looking for a SaaS solution to get this done. We didnt want any further hardware in our environment and we wanted something that can be accessed and used anywhere a web browser is. We also went with Metallic as it was a pretty simple tool to implement and we felt that the features that came with it were superior to Backupify.

• We are able to get rid of an aging backup infrastructure and free up expensive rack space.

• Full utility of office 365 with confidence.
• We've benefited from the built-in EDRM protocols for regulatory compliance.
