High-performance backup with fast recovery and robust encryption features
I use Gluster as a backup. In fact, my company has a product called xBackup, which is completely based on Gluster. It includes various tools and technologies for high-performance backup, including solid-state technologies and mechanical disks, among others. Additionally, I use various other…

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 of the solution is the ease of installation it provides its users."
"Bareos offers encryption on the fly, compression on the fly, and a robust and stable configuration."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is its performance. Additionally, the user interface and documentation are easy to use and navigate."
"The solution is stable."
"Veeam makes modular solutions, so you can install Veeam Backup for Office 365 and Veeam Backup and Replication in one single server. You can do an all in one installation, and roll it out."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up not only to the cloud but also to your local environment so a copy of your data can be kept on-prem."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with ten being easy."
"The product is very stable and performs exceptionally well."
"The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive."
 

Cons

"The virtual machine backup is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"Improvement is needed in the graphical web administration tool."
"Pricing could be more affordable."
"The license pricing can be reduced."
"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."
"They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
"While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use."
"You can't really edit. For example, if you have created a backup for a user, you can't drill down on a granular level during the backup. You have to back up the mailbox completely. That's it. It would be helpful if you could at least go inside the mailboxes to choose what you want."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I use the open-source version of Bareos, which means I used the free version of the solution."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."
