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."
"This is an easy-to-install easy-to-use solution for backing up Office 365 email."
"The product offers good stability."
"The most valuable aspect of Veeam is its stability."
"Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises."
"This covers the areas of backing up Office 365 that Microsoft does not include in its standard routine."
"The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers."
 

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 solution needs to introduce more features."
"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."
"We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups."
"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."
"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."
"You can't really edit. For example, if you have created a backup for a user, you can't drill down on a granular level during the backup. You have to back up the mailbox completely. That's it. It would be helpful if you could at least go inside the mailboxes to choose what you want."
"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."
"If Veeam could offer backup as a service for data backup and recovery, that would be great. We'd like something like what Druva is offering at the moment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is cheap. I rate it five out of ten."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"The cost of Veeam Backup is $28 per user for one year."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
"The pricing is expensive."
"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."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
