Applications experience downtime due to ransomware attacks, cloud misconfigurations, zone-level cloud service failures, natural disasters, region failures, or simply human error. Traditional backup & recovery or DR products do not auto-program your cloud services to recover your distributed cloud environments from downtime, costing organizations precious time, labor, revenue, and reputation. With Appranix integrated Backup and DR-as-a-Service, you can backup an entire application environment resources such as VMs, Containers/K8s, Cloud Volumes, Security Groups, Elastic IPs, Elastic File Systems, Network interfaces, VPCs, Routes, Load Balancer, RDS, and their dependencies and configurations using policies.

Please allow us to clarify a few points, 1. There is no need for regular intervention as you can use Tag/Label based automated discovery so all the environments are protected as they scale out and scale-in. 2. Compared to other backup, recovery solutions, we think Appranix is cheaper as the license is per instance per month and grows or shrinks as the cloud environment changes dynamically. Other BCDR systems are typically based on storage capacity protected and it gets very expensive very fast as storage tends to grow faster compared to other resources. 3. Yes, there is of course free trial available through the cloud marketplaces.

Appranix App Resilience Platform - Must have for cloud automation **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2019 **What do you like best about Commvault Cloud Rewind?** Appranix is the first cloud service of it's kind in the market that delivers true cloud application environment level resilience. Since it is SaaS, on-boarding our AWS account and doing a quick app environment failover DR test was a breeze, quite literally with a single click of a button. There is no agent to install and no additional data management infrastructure on top of our AWS services. Appranix uses all the cloud-native services to protect our cloud environments composed of our EC2 instances, EBS volumes, Security groups, Load Balancers, and VPC configurations. Appranix automatically discovers all the services and cloud configurations automatically so you can create a composition of those services as a "Cloud Assembly". The service automatically builds an application environment time machine in the backend based on our protection policies. We have four different protection SLO templates. Now, Appranix makes it much easier for our SREs to provide complete resiliency at the application level with the capability to go back in time and recover the entire application environment in the primary region of the cloud or an alternative region to recover from any type of disruption or a disaster. You can also configure your AWS Route-53 based DNS zones so you can change over to a new failover environment literally with a button click to further reduce RTO. **What do you dislike about Commvault Cloud Rewind?** I really do not have anything I dislike about the service. **Recommendations to others considering Commvault Cloud Rewind:** Just make sure you create a separate security key in your AWS account for Appranix to read the meta-data of your production environment using the API. **What problems is Commvault Cloud Rewind solving and how is that benefiting you?** Prior to Appranix, true DR on AWS was not at all possible for our entire cloud environment across a different region or even within a zone. There are backup products in the market that protect and recover individual VMs. There used to be VMware SRM for VMware based datacenters. You could consider Appranix as VMware SRM Plus Plus specifically built for cloud platforms such as AWS, Google, and Azure. The fact that Appranix is a cloud service makes it very easy to get started. We are now using for multiple use cases, for example, creating a copy of the production environment for patch testing becomes very easy. This ensures that we test all the security patches with an exact copy of production so we know we can confidently roll out those operating system or database patches. ## Commvault Cloud Rewind Discussions - [What is Appranix Cloud Application Resilience used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-appranix-cloud-application-resilience-used-for) - [Where do I find more information about application resilience?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/where-do-i-find-more-information-about-application-resilience) - 1 upvote - [View Commvault Cloud Rewind pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/commvault-cloud-rewind/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-17+00%3A13%3A33+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=ff05c470-1dfc-47ad-ac71-91463f1265d2&secure%5Btoken%5D=fb280bc5c647c7ab5f01616225d5995e645c7d1331f6387c67ad769a1216e13d&format=llm_user) ## Commvault Cloud Rewind Features **Administration** - Alerts/Notifications - Security and Compliance - Administration Console **Compatibility ** - File Server Backup - Database Server Backup - Virtual Machines - Repository Models **Functionality** - Real-time Sync - Storage Capacity - Remote Backup - Versioning **Functionality** - Data Backup - Backup Automation - Integration - Diverse Database Handling **Functionality** - On Premises Recovery - Cloud Recovery - Prior State Recovery - Recovery Automation - Replication **Solution Provision** - Service Provision - Pay by Usage - System Failover - Off-Site Data Storage - Data Replication **Management** - Real-Time Analytics - Solution Integration - Infrastructure Compatibility - Monitoring **Management** - Disaster Recovery - Remote Backup - Storage Formats - Scheduled Backups - On-Demand Restoration **Operations** - Service Management - Workflow Management - IT Discovery - Intelligent Automation **Management** - Continuous Backup - Disaster Recovery - Storage Capacity - Remote Backup - Activity Monitoring **Compatibility ** - SaaS Application Variety - Storage Formats **Admin** - Backup Management **Management** - Local Management - Infrastructure Compatibility - Solution Integration - Real-Time Analytics - RTO and RPO Management **Management** - Infrastructure Compatibility - Solution Integration - Real-Time Analytics - RTO and RPO Management **Solution Provision** - System Failover - Pay by Usage - Service Provision **Reporting** - Activity Monitoring - Documentation - Alerts/Notifications **Recovery** - Disaster Recovery - On-Demand Restoration - Incident Reports **Compliance** - Security Standards - Cloud Data Protection - Data Deduplication **Management** - Security Standards - Encrypted Storage **Agentic AI - Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Agentic AI - Database Backup** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Agentic AI - Disaster Recovery** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Security** - Data Encryption - Security and Compliance - Deduplication **Agentic AI - IT Resilience Orchestration Automation (ITRO)** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Agentic AI - SaaS Backup** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Agentic AI - Server Backup** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making ## Top Commvault Cloud Rewind Alternatives - [Unitrends Backup and Recovery](https://www.g2.com/products/unitrends-backup-and-recovery/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (434 reviews) - [Veeam Data Platform](https://www.g2.com/products/veeam-data-platform/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (676 reviews) - [Druva Data Security Cloud](https://www.g2.com/products/druva-data-security-cloud/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (716 reviews)
