Incremental backup simplifies content recovery with beneficial features for email and file services
Almost all the features are valuable for Microsoft 365, specifically signatures and backup for email services and files for Microsoft. It is a full module suitable for any organization. The incremental backup feature is beneficial as it allows me to restore any imaging and filing with just a few clicks, simplifying content recovery after errors occur.

Automation has reduced backup overhead and simplifies multi-cloud protection and disaster recovery
The biggest advantage of Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot is that it is agentless, which means Dell manages the platform by reducing maintenance effort and operational overhead. It protects workloads across cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure through a single user graphical interface, and it automatically protects new workloads while reducing manual backup admin tasks, which in turn minimizes human errors. Automation in Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot helps define protection policies such as which resources to protect, when to take snapshots, how long to retain them, and where to copy them, effectively creating and managing snapshots and their retention. The solution does help to streamline IT operations by providing centralized visibility into backup operations, audit logs, and recovery readiness through Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot, which also assists administrators in monitoring protection status.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Almost all the features of CodeTwo are valuable for Microsoft 365."
"The tool's porting of targeted sources in CSV was a nice feature. The integration and connection between the tenants were smooth. We could access a template CSV as well."
"The solution offers ease of configuration. With a wizard, you run through the setup, and everything is configured correctly. Additionally, creating a job is very easy, and overall, the ease of access is excellent. Also, it allows you to use the backups to migrate to another Office 365 environment."
"The most valuable feature of CodeTwo Backup for Office 365 is its restore functionality."
"Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot has a positive impact by reducing downtime and giving us confidence in recovery."
"In terms of ROI, I would say that Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot saves backup admins between 10 lakh to 20 lakhs per annum, providing a strong ROI by automating protection policies and lowering operational costs."
"It is easy to restore VMs in the cloud."
 

Cons

"There are two major improvements. First, the UI seems outdated. Second, the tool should support cloud backups. I suggest using Windows Server 2016 or 2019."
"I attempted to modify the XML files in the product's configuration to enhance the speed and efficiency of the process. While the KBs and documentation were well-written, technical aspects related to speed adjustment parameters were unclear."
"The customer service and support could be improved. When communicating via email, they sometimes take until late the same day to respond."
"There is room to improve in managing email signatures."
"However, it depends on the customer's use cases and whether they really want to spend that much money and time on it."
"One area for improvement with Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot is the reporting dashboard."
"Regarding scalability, I find that while Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot offers multi-cloud scalability, it is not one of its strongest features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing was reasonable. I don't remember the amount per mailbox, but the cost seemed fair, considering we had around 300 mailboxes to migrate and needed to do it in a rush over a weekend. We didn't have many choices for people to operate the migration."
