Featured Reviews

Rajesh  Makwana - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable platform with good technical support services
The product's implementation process was good. During the trial license period of 14 days, customers could transition between products, such as from Barracuda to Proofpoint or vice versa, without experiencing significant delays. A few domains are sometimes denied access due to site parameters. Properly configuring these parameters and pre-implementing the necessary licenses helps avoid problems on the customer's side.
Thushara Bandara - PeerSpot reviewer
Ensures data protection and supports SAP consistency while reducing costs
Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering. It serves as a reliable solution for backup and reporting capabilities about the health of the backups. Even though I am not utilizing all tools and options, it meets my comprehensive requirements and allows backup of emails as well, making it a versatile tool.
