How do they recover an application?
Both replicate an application and the infrastructure around it and recover it as a unit. Arpio keeps a ready recovery environment and runs failover and failback, with published RPO targets from 15 minutes. Cloud Rewind captures point-in-time, in-sync copies and rebuilds the stack into the production VPC or an isolated environment.
Which covers more clouds and resources?
Cloud Rewind states AWS, Azure and Google Cloud and names compute, storage, networking, databases and security. Arpio states AWS and Azure and does not publish a full list of covered resource types.
Which can you price before a call?
Arpio. Standard is $12k a year single-cloud and Premium $36k single-cloud, with multi-cloud prices listed too. Cloud Rewind is Contact sales or a marketplace listing.
Which should you choose?
Choose Arpio if you run on AWS or Azure, want tested failover and failback with a stated RPO, and need a number for the budget now.
Choose Cloud Rewind if you need Google Cloud, you already buy from Commvault, or you want the widest named resource coverage.
Frequently asked questions
Which is better for cross-account recovery?
Arpio states cross-account and cross-region failover on AWS on its home page. Cloud Rewind restores to isolated recovery environments but does not detail cross-account steps on the pages we read.
Do Arpio and Cloud Rewind publish RTOs?
Neither publishes an RTO figure on the pages we reviewed. Arpio publishes RPO targets (as low as 15 minutes in Standard, real-time in Premium).
Where does Firefly fit?
Firefly ranks above both (73.5) on our weights because of its change history and restore as code, but it does not back up data. See Firefly vs Commvault Cloud Rewind.
