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.

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.
