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's a good solution that works and we can rely on."
"The most valuable feature is the data backup functionality."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent."
"The ease of use is great and the integrations with the storage vendors are useful, with snapshot capabilities and similar features, and the setup was straightforward, making it a stable solution with great scalability."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 are its intuitive interface, ease of use, and unlimited capacity for backup and restore."
"Once you set it up, it works very well. You do not have to go back to reconfigure it– it is very easy to use"
"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
 

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."
"If it could rebuild the data without pulling down the entire chunk, it would be an improvement."
"While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use."
"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."
"The solution could offer better reporting."
"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."
"The solution could improve scalability, both in terms of more storage and users. These two attributes are quite important when you talk about good scalability."
"They should include some more options to send alerts in existing monitoring software."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by reducing the time it takes for backups. I have mentioned this to Veeam and hopefully, in the next version, it will be a faster backup."
 

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."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"The price of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is inexpensive. We have a license to use the solution."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"I have a per-user license for the number of users and the mailboxes that I have."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
