Chose afi.ai
afi is next generation system, with our previous vendor we had to wait for a long time to access data, sometimes up to 24h.The reason for that was our scale according to the support team. ( 50TB +) With afi it takes a few seconds. The UI is super simple and easy to use, no …
Chose afi.ai
Veritas is an old no-go monster, slow, clunky and unpredictable.
Veeam is good, we use it for on-prem Hyper-V clusters. As for M365 - AFI is much cheaper, low maintenance, and easier to use.
Chose afi.ai
Veeam requires you to maintain local hardware infrastructure (backup server, storage), which adds significant cost. Local is less secure, as its hosted in the same primary infrastructure. It doesn't scale well; we had to install an additional backup server per 3,000 user groups.
Chose afi.ai
afi.ai shows faster backup performance and has live preview of mailbox data. Spanning backup can export Exchange online data in MBOX format, but it provides no live preview option.
Chose afi.ai
We looked at a few vendors, the two most notable solutions being Spanning and Veeam. Spanning is good a well-recognized vendor; however, we found it not to be that flexible in terms of access control configuration. Teams backup is quite limited--neither private channels nor …
Chose afi.ai
Slow, very limited Microsoft Teams support.
Chose afi.ai
We used Backupify before, and decided to move as the system overall became very unreliable (lost data, inaccessible UI, sluggish, etc.).
Chose afi.ai
Hard to use interface, support was very slow to respond. Recovery of large files took multiple days.

1. Data backup for Exchange Online, SharePoint and Teams works very well and reliable. 2. MS Teams support is good, which includes Private channels. 3. Excellent security options ( ransomware detection, encryption keys hosted by us) 4. Self service for end users is a huge time saver for our helpdesk team 5. We kill two birds with one stone with user archiving, compliance and cost savings on MS licenses.

Likelihood to Renew
afi.ai
We will continue to renew the service for as long as we continue to use MS 365, unless Microsoft will release native Office 365 backup that provides all necessary features, including multi-geo admin roles, long-term affordable archiving storage tier, auto-conversion of email formats (MBOX, EML etc), point-in-time preview of previous file versions.

Support Rating
afi.ai
Support is very technical and always eager to help us. The support team's responses are mostly relevant, with no generic/automated answers that would waste our time. The company's online product documentation is very clear and to the point; it answers most of the user questions in a detailed and clear manner.
