Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
"The solution's support team is excellent."
"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."
"We have backups for Microsoft 365 because it is in the account of the complete tenant compromise. If we lose access to a tenant or all of the client's data gets Microsoft 365, and they lose access to all of their emails, OneDrive, and Teams data, then at least we have an off-site copy that is not linked to their Microsoft side of things."
"The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive."
"This covers the areas of backing up Office 365 that Microsoft does not include in its standard routine."
"The product is very stable and performs exceptionally well."
"The product offers good stability."
"I appreciate that Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 allows me to back up on both local storage and cloud storage, providing two options for data restoration."
"The most valuable aspect of Veeam is its stability."
 

Cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
"Veeam's performance is inconsistent."
"Pricing is an area for improvement, and I would rate it at five out of ten."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"The solution is costly."
"Pricing could be more affordable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."
"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The price of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is inexpensive. We have a license to use the 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."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
"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."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"The pricing is expensive."
