Clumio vs. SysTools Cloud Backup Tools

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!

• Very good for a backup that is also used for frequent access (like a remote HD) and is easy to share.
• Not 100% reliable as a full copy (like TimeMachine) of the HD, but not far off.

Incentivized

• Offers a highly predictable cost model for all of our environments.
• Easy to manage. One set of policies for all over our VM servers.

Incentivized

• Fast response
• Excellent analysis
• Easy migration

Incentivized

• Since Clumio is a new product, it is not as feature-rich as some of the incumbents, but it is still a superior product.
• Customized reporting capabilities are needed for this product.

• Backup to Dropbox and other cloud services would be great.
• Online backup to 3rd party cloud services that do not affect band-width on the user end.

Super easy usability is something you don’t find out there these days with back up utilities.

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

Great over all for what the purpose is. Not needing to spend much time focusing on backup

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!

From my research, SysTools was chosen mainly due to its simplicity. Other software tends to add a lot of eye candy, which for me was not necessary. I needed something that I could configure and leave running in the background relatively unnoticed. SysTools provided that with little interruption to my daily activities.

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

• Reduces time of sharing files and working on them collaboratively, in fairly large groups. We stopped using email attachments.
• Reduce recovery time from a faulty or retired PC.
• Reduce time of recovering old and large files we do not keep offline.
