A reliable backup solution that needs to incorporate a flexible pricing model
We use Boxafe for backup.  I like the tool's reliability. Its price is also cheap, and it gets delivered in two days.  Boxafe's pricing policy should be more flexible.  I have been working with the product for seven years.  The product is stable.  I rate Boxafe's scalability an eight out of…

Reliable rollback features for smooth IT operations and an easy setup
We are using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to take backups of shop floor PCs. I use it for clients locally, particularly for critical machines. It is also used globally for server-side backups and includes scheduling features like taking ten backups every Sunday when the factory is closed. This…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature was the repository."
"I like the tool's reliability. Its price is also cheap, and it gets delivered in two days."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the WAN accelerator. This feature allows for large amounts of data from one location to another. If the bandwidth in the environment is slow it makes the transfer slow but the WAN accelerator feature helps speed the transfer."
"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"For data security, we rely on Veeam Backup for Teams and it is quite effective."
"I find Veeam's customer service and support to be excellent, rating them ten out of ten."
"It’s amazing how the solution helps restore old data."
"The way it backs up personal files is great."
"It works well for our backup needs, and I would recommend it for Microsoft 365 due to its reliability."
 

Cons

"Boxafe's pricing policy should be more flexible."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. This is the issue, the reason why we started using Synology."
"The installation could always be a little bit easier. You do need to be a bit technical."
"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"It would be beneficial to implement a mechanism that allows for more efficient input processing, such as recognizing the first capital letter of an email account."
"I'm very satisfied with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and would continue using it if it were up to me. However, my management is considering alternative solutions due to issues with our storage solutions."
"The product cannot back up Active Directory objects while its competitors can. Self-service power enables us to deal with service providers. We provide services for our clients, so having a multi-tenant service portal would be good."
"When you are working in the Cloud security is very important."
"Veaam Backup can be confusing for customers when they start trying to understand how to use the product in multiple environments."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is cheap. I rate it five out of ten."
"Veaam Backup is licensed per mailbox, which customers like because it's per user and so they don't have to pay for shared mailboxes."
"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."
"We looked at a few cloud options. When we did the comparison, we found it to be a cost-effective solution, and it included everything."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"We decided on Altaro because, from the point of view of the total cost, Altaro looks cheaper than Veeam. Veeam has a lot of costs that are not clear when you start it, which makes it less flexible than Altaro, but only after half a year, you can be really sure that you made a good decision."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
