The initial cost can be high as IT solutions are generally expensive, however, the solution is worth it due to its functionality and reliability. I would recommend revisiting the pricing structure, especially for cloud-based licensing.
From our perspective in South Africa, our biggest challenge is the exchange rate from the South African currency to the US dollar. This makes it a bit pricey for us. However, compared to other backup solutions available, I would rate the pricing at a nine out of ten. For the servers, features, and functionality you get, it's worth the money. Of course, we'd always prefer things to be cheaper, but we also understand that you have to pay for proper functionality. So overall, it's not badly priced at all.

Veeam is more affordable than Veritas and Commvault. They might be the most affordable solution in this market, and it's also the best-known product for backup.

They have newer Pulse licensing that is better. However, our clients do look at the pricing and feel it is too high. The licenses are paid every three years.
Users can pay a licensing fee on a monthly or yearly basis. It is becoming more and more expensive. I'd rate it a three out of five in terms of affordability. There may be extra costs as well. You have to foresee the hardware to run it on and then store the backup. There may be costs around integrations.

We pay some amount yearly. We have a three-year support agreement, and we maybe pay one cost a year. We don't have to pay all of it at the same time and spread it over three years. We have 2000 users and pay about $10,000. It may be a little bit more per year. We have an education institute and may have fewer expenses. If you are an educational institution, you get some cheaper pricing. We need to buy the hardware, of course.
There is an annual license required to use Veeam Backup for Office 365. For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive.
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. Veaam also provides flexible one-to-five-year subscription licensing and no longer use perpetual licenses. There are additional costs for keeping data in the cloud, e.g. for Azure licensing.

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.
I think the pricing model is wrong. Veeam itself is licensed according to the number of cores you have on your system. Maybe in pricing the backup solution they could just match that same model. So instead of having the Veeam license — which you have to have in order to use the Office 365 backup — and tacking on a per-user charge, they could base the cost on the CPU cores instead. Just tell clients that if they want the additional Office 365 Backup option it increases the cost by whatever amount pr billing period. It simplifies billing and cost tracking. Anything they could do to lower the actual cost of using the product would be good. But in the end, right now, the Office 365 Backup component is licensed separately per user. It works in conjunction with the basic Veeam license so you need that too, but it is a separate tool in terms of licensing. You can not get it independently.
