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."
"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"It is a perfect, mature product."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is its performance. Additionally, the user interface and documentation are easy to use and navigate."
"The scalability of Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is very good."
"At the moment I think we have all we need for backing up our Office 365 emails reliably, we have a solid solution with this product so I don't see any reason it would have to change."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Generally speaking from my experience, this solution is very good, but it also has some room for improvement."
 

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."
"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."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
"The solution needs to improve its speed."
"They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance."
"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."
"I think the pricing model is wrong."
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
"A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is cheap. I rate it five out of ten."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"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."
