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

"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."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"The way it backs up personal files is great."
"This is an easy-to-install easy-to-use solution for backing up Office 365 email."
"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with ten being easy."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 are its intuitive interface, ease of use, and unlimited capacity for backup and restore."
 

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."
"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."
"It requires quite an amount of infrastructure. You have to set up the instance, and you need to know quite a bit about Microsoft 365 authentication. For some customers, it is a challenge."
"Pricing is an area for improvement, and I would rate it at five out of ten."
"One area that needs improvement is the pricing of Veeam Backup, as it can be expensive at $28 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."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
"If one administrator wants to delete something in 365, another admin must approve it."
"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."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a subscription-based solution."
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"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."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
