Trilio is a commercial backup as a service tool by Trilio. Commvault VM Backup is a commercial backup as a service tool by Commvault. Compare features, ratings, integrations, and community reviews side by side to find the best backup as a service fit for your security stack.
CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise teams running Kubernetes or OpenStack need Trilio specifically for ransomware recovery in cloud-native environments where traditional VM backup tools fall short. The platform maps directly to NIST RC.RP (incident recovery execution) and handles both stateless containers and stateful applications across Red Hat OpenShift, Mirantis, and Nutanix clusters. Skip this if your infrastructure is primarily on-premises VMware or you need backup for databases and file servers alongside Kubernetes; Trilio's strength is narrowly focused on cloud-native infrastructure recovery, not broad enterprise backup.
Mid-market and enterprise teams managing multi-hypervisor environments will get the most from Commvault VM Backup because it actually handles VM migration between platforms without the recovery friction that locks you into a single vendor. The platform covers five hypervisors natively (VMware, Hyper-V, Azure, EC2, Nutanix AHV) with centralized management, and its air-gapped backup copies plus anomaly detection address both ransomware and compliance requirements across NIST RC.RP and PR.DS functions. Skip this if your infrastructure is purely cloud-native and containerized; Commvault's strength is protecting traditional VMs, not Kubernetes workloads.
