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…

Backup has protected our office data and now restores individual emails while admins configure settings
Although Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a Backup as a Service, it should give slight leverage to the admins to do more of their own configurations. When it comes to Software as a Service, we do need to agree on certain things, as we do not have much control over the software. If Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 can improve, it would be better. It could be slightly better, but it is acceptable. As long as support is provided in a timely manner, it is good. I cannot tell it is fully bad or fully good. If I were to give a rating of one to five, I might give 3.5 to four. Rather than giving a help database, which is an ocean of information to search through ourselves, we should be able to open a ticket and have them guide us on how to do it. As an end-user, different levels of admins exist—a fresh admin and a more experienced admin. They need to encourage us to open a ticket quickly, and from there they should guide us straightforwardly with the steps to follow to achieve the desired outcome.

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 customer service and support team are good."
"It is easy to use and easy to recover files."
"It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to restore a specific email. For example, if a user has deleted an email and they would like that particular email back we are able to restore it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality."
"Its absolute functionality and intuitiveness are the most valuable features."
"Its ability to restore at the item level is very valuable. It is very strong at that. In the past, we had to restore a lot of data only for a couple of items. We can now restore an item as well as an email, which is good for productivity."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
 

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 initial setup is a bit complex."
"The solution needs to introduce more features."
"It's a new product. It's not mature."
"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."
"If it could rebuild the data without pulling down the entire chunk, it would be an improvement."
"This solution would be improved if our customers could simplify their graphic user interface and for it to be more user-friendly."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
"Microsoft currently saves only two months of conversation history, and it would be better if Veeam could focus on backing up more than two months of conversation data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is cheap. I rate it five out of ten."
"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."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"The solution is not expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."

"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
