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…

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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bareos offers encryption on the fly, compression on the fly, and a robust and stable configuration."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of installation it provides its users."
"The product is easy-to-use."
"It is very simple to set up."
"It is easy to set up. You can use some functions to make sure you get the maximum bandwidth to do the backup. It has an option to bypass Microsoft network limitations and things like that."
"The way it backs up personal files is great."
"It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast."
"It is easy to use and easy to recover files."
"The solution is easy to use. It's very simple and clients find it very easy to find all objects and things they need with the Veeam Explorer."
"The pricing is reasonable."
 

Cons

"Improvement is needed in the graphical web administration tool."
"The virtual machine backup is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"It needs to be able to integrate with other emailing systems, like Linux."
"The solution needs to improve its speed."
"The license pricing can be reduced."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"Veaam Backup can be confusing for customers when they start trying to understand how to use the product in multiple environments."
"The solution could improve scalability, both in terms of more storage and users. These two attributes are quite important when you talk about good scalability."
"When you add a new site for backup, it gives you a notice that there is a new site, but the way you select that and configure that could be slightly better. It works, but it is not always very clear. For example, for the URL, you need to hover over the title or the name of the site. You should see it immediately on the screen. It should have a better user interface for selecting what you want to back up so that you get a more clear overview of the sites that are there and the ones that you want to combine in a backup. Its user interface should be more user-friendly. It has a lot of scrolling and doesn't give you a complete overview when needed. That's the main thing why it is not very user-friendly. It should have a better user interface."
"One area that needs improvement is the pricing of Veeam Backup, as it can be expensive at $28 per user for one year."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I use the open-source version of Bareos, which means I used the free version of the solution."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"We decided on Altaro because, from the point of view of the total cost, Altaro looks cheaper than Veeam. Veeam has a lot of costs that are not clear when you start it, which makes it less flexible than Altaro, but only after half a year, you can be really sure that you made a good decision."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
