Continuous backup ensures data safety and seamless operation
One of the most valuable features of Carbonite Safe Backup is its ability to support versioning, which allows me to restore previous versions if I accidentally mess up the data. It works silently in the background, and when needed, it's readily available. The seamless operation, 'set it and forget it,' ensures ease of use without causing system issues or interactions. Additionally, the continuous backup mode functions flawlessly.

Reliable rollback features for smooth IT operations and an easy setup
We are using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to take backups of shop floor PCs. I use it for clients locally, particularly for critical machines. It is also used globally for server-side backups and includes scheduling features like taking ten backups every Sunday when the factory is closed. This…

Cons

"In the past, I faced a problem where Carbonite would interfere with system restore operations on a Windows 10 machine. This issue was resolved with Windows 11."
"In the past, I faced a problem where Carbonite would interfere with system restore operations on a Windows 10 machine."
"I would like Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to increase the speed to reduce the backup time."
"The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified."
"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."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"The solution is costly."
"They should include some more options to send alerts in existing monitoring software."
"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."
"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 and Cost Advice

Information not available
"From our perspective in South Africa, our biggest challenge is the exchange rate from the South African currency to the US dollar. This makes it a bit pricey for us. However, compared to other backup solutions available, I would rate the pricing at a nine out of ten. For the servers, features, and functionality you get, it's worth the money. Of course, we'd always prefer things to be cheaper, but we also understand that you have to pay for proper functionality. So overall, it's not badly priced at all."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of 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 not the cheapest solution in the market."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."
