A reliable backup solution that needs to incorporate a flexible pricing model
We use Boxafe for backup.  I like the tool's reliability. Its price is also cheap, and it gets delivered in two days.  Boxafe's pricing policy should be more flexible.  I have been working with the product for seven years.  The product is stable.  I rate Boxafe's scalability an eight out of…

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…

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature was the repository."
"I like the tool's reliability. Its price is also cheap, and it gets delivered in two days."
"Once you set it up, it works very well. You do not have to go back to reconfigure it– it is very easy to use"
"It was easy to set up."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"The product is easy-to-use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the backups, we do not want to lose any files. Each one of the files is updated on a regular long-term basis and kept together in the Microsoft cloud-only."
"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."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the pricing. This is the issue, the reason why we started using Synology."
"Boxafe's pricing policy should be more flexible."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
"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."
"If one administrator wants to delete something in 365, another admin must approve it."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
"Veeam is quite expensive."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is cheap. I rate it five out of ten."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
"The pricing is expensive."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a subscription-based solution."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
