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."
"The solution is also easy to manage and work with."
"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."
"Its ability to restore at the item level is very valuable. It is very strong at that. In the past, we had to restore a lot of data only for a couple of items. We can now restore an item as well as an email, which is good for productivity."
"We are able to store it on various cloud providers such as Amazon S3, Rocket, Azure, and IBM Cloud. It can also do on-premise integration, and we are able to use storage from on-premise. We are also able to recover data. It is a really good and intuitive solution. Veeam has developed a fantastic product. I've never seen anything that I don't like about Veeam. It looks like a very complete solution. It is really mature, simple to use, and quite interrogative. It also has APIs for writing scripts."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"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."
 

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."
"As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
"We tried to use Veeam for our DRP. It was complicated to use and did not help us with our DRP needs due to our internet connectivity at that time."
"Currently, I'm working for Huawei and they dropped the support for Huawei, so that's an issue for us."
"It needs to be able to integrate with other emailing systems, like Linux."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
"If one administrator wants to delete something in 365, another admin must approve it."
"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."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"Veaam Backup is licensed per mailbox, which customers like because it's per user and so they don't have to pay for shared mailboxes."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a subscription-based solution."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"The pricing is expensive."
