Sometimes, we have to restrict the number of users as per the contractual agreement and in this case we simply cut down on the licensing. When considering costs, NetApp works out better for us than the backup solution from Veeam.

You could compare it to a Dell EMC or ECS, and I think it's probably a little less costly than that. Within the marketplace, it's a medium cost.
The pricing is more or less the same as what we'd get from Veeam on Office 365, so it's fine.
