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 pricing is reasonable."
"It's user-friendly, especially for taking incremental backups."
"We have backups for Microsoft 365 because it is in the account of the complete tenant compromise. If we lose access to a tenant or all of the client's data gets Microsoft 365, and they lose access to all of their emails, OneDrive, and Teams data, then at least we have an off-site copy that is not linked to their Microsoft side of things."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"This is an easy-to-install easy-to-use solution for backing up Office 365 email."
"The product is easy-to-use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality."
"The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive."
 

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 installation could always be a little bit easier. You do need to be a bit technical."
"As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost."
"Its price could be improved."
"The capacity storage is a challenge everywhere in the backup industry. The general feedback people are coming back to about this is that there is no deduplication based on it."
"I'm very satisfied with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and would continue using it if it were up to me. However, my management is considering alternative solutions due to issues with our storage solutions."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."

"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a subscription-based solution."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
