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 and recovery options integrate smoothly while affordability remains a challenge
My relationship with Veeam is that I am a reseller and system integrator. The support for both cloud-based and on-premises infrastructure from Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 impacts my data protection strategy because that's the reason we are using Veeam. Veeam is a platform that supports both on-prem and cloud. It's a single pane of glass that we can support both, which is one of the good reasons we are using Veeam. The key benefits my organization has experienced with Veeam's integration of SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, and Teams within its data protection framework are that single licensing is one of the things customers prefer to use because it's very easy for them to manage. I would rate Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 overall an eight on a scale from 1 to 10.

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 feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive."
"It is easy to use and easy to recover files."
"The solution is also easy to manage and work with."
"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
"For data security, we rely on Veeam Backup for Teams and it is quite effective."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"It's user-friendly, especially for taking incremental backups."
"The solution helps reduce our workload."
 

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."
"One area that needs improvement is the pricing of Veeam Backup, as it can be expensive at twenty-eight dollars per user for one year."
"We tried to use Veeam for our DRP. It was complicated to use and did not help us with our DRP needs due to our internet connectivity at that time."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"Veaam Backup can be confusing for customers when they start trying to understand how to use the product in multiple environments."
"In future updates of Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365, I would like to see mail archiving functionality."
"We have found that there is a limitation in this solution where it only takes the backup of users who are using Office 365 Enterprise email IDs. We have many users in management and approximately 50 other users who are using Office 365 of which Veeam is able to capture the backup. However, for the other users who are on the local email server at that time, the solution is not able to capture the backup."
"If one administrator wants to delete something in 365, another admin must approve it."
"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is cheap. I rate it five out of ten."
"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"The pricing is expensive."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
