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

"I like the tool's reliability. Its price is also cheap, and it gets delivered in two days."
"The most valuable feature was the repository."
"The product is very stable and performs exceptionally well."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with ten being easy."
"Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises."
"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the data backup functionality."
"This covers the areas of backing up Office 365 that Microsoft does not include in its standard routine."
"The solution is stable."
"Technical support in Veeam is good."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the pricing. This is the issue, the reason why we started using Synology."
"Boxafe's pricing policy should be more flexible."
"They should include some more options to send alerts in existing monitoring software."
"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."
"One area that needs improvement is the pricing of Veeam Backup, as it can be expensive at $28 per user for one year."
"The solution announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
"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."
"It's hard to predict the usage on the storage. I need to make some estimates for customers in terms of how much storage will be needed on the cloud, and this is always tricky. It would be helpful if they could help us estimate storage or simplify the estimation portion."
"Technical support could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is cheap. I rate it five out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
