Featured Reviews

DanBryant - PeerSpot reviewer
Good SLAs and better suited for large files like videos and anything in the multi-gigabyte range
Support's not great, but Microsoft products are much more industrial strength and enterprise ready than any other services out there. That's why we use them and learn how to use them, even when they change things without much advanced notice. We proactively educate ourselves on how to use it once it's changed. I don't pay for premium support. But at a basic level, Microsoft products can be pretty aggravating to work with. I prefer not to rate it. I don't think a number would accurately describe the experience. We still use it, and it's still valuable. But the experience with Microsoft products, from storage to Teams and everything else, can be quite aggravating.
Ozgur-Ekinci - PeerSpot reviewer
The product is affordable and can be easily deployed, but the scalability must be improved
We just need to create an account in Wasabi. Wasabi gives us an access link, username, and password. We provide this information to Veeam so that Veeam is able to reach Wasabi resources. Then, we can copy our backup data to Wasabi. It's very straightforward, and it's very easy. The deployment can be done within an hour. The user creation and Wasabi account login creation take about an hour. The final process takes about five minutes.

What needs improvement with Wasabi?
It's an opportunity to have a data center in Brazil because, nowadays, all data centers are outside Brazil. So, if you can have a data center inside the field to work, it's an excellent opportunity.
