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."
"It is a really good and intuitive solution; Veeam has developed a fantastic product, and I've never seen anything that I don't like about Veeam."
"I find Veeam's customer service and support to be excellent, rating them ten out of ten."
"For data security, we rely on Veeam Backup for Teams and it is quite effective."
"Veeam is affordable and end-to-end configuration is straightforward, whether you're going from source to destination or vice versa. Retrieval is also easy."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the ease of use. You only need to create a folder in your drive and it's as simple as dragging and dropping files to store them."
"The program has been working really well for us."
"The solution is stable and, with the options available, it's the only one we've used."
"Overall, the solution is okay, the way the system is built is very good, the product offers good stability, the solution is scalable, we have found the technical support to be helpful, and the pricing of the solution is very reasonable and not expensive."
 

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."
"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."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
"When you are working in the Cloud security is very important."
"The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified."
"They don't have native integration with deduplication of storage."
"When you add a new site for backup, it gives you a notice that there is a new site, but the way you select that and configure that could be slightly better. It works, but it is not always very clear. For example, for the URL, you need to hover over the title or the name of the site. You should see it immediately on the screen. It should have a better user interface for selecting what you want to back up so that you get a more clear overview of the sites that are there and the ones that you want to combine in a backup. Its user interface should be more user-friendly. It has a lot of scrolling and doesn't give you a complete overview when needed. That's the main thing why it is not very user-friendly. It should have a better user interface."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is cheap. I rate it five out of ten."
"We have 2000 users and pay about $10,000. It may be a little bit more per year. We have an education institute and may have fewer expenses."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"The solution is not expensive."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
