Likelihood to Recommend I feel that Axcient x360Recover is well suited for any environment, both large and small. Weather you build your own device, BYOD or purchase one of theirs, it all works great. I even use it at home via the direct to cloud option. Well work the investment. I am unable to find a downside at this time.
Read full review If your company is using a lot of G-suite products such as Gmail, Google Drive, etc..., it's easy to backup your important documentations and texts from email via Free Gmail Backup. You can also schedule your backup automatically. Very easy to use. One downside is this is only for Google users.
Read full review Pros Setup and configuration is extremely easy. The business continuity component for spinning up the desired recovery point as a virtual machine on the appliance in order to keep the business operational is rock solid. Recovering the desired backup point back to the physical hardware or virtual environment and syncing the most recent changes to finalize the recovery is awesome. The system documentation is concise and easy to use. The support team is absolutely fantastic. Read full review Google Cloud Account backup app. All-in-one solution to backup your Google Account. Able to restore the whole Google account or just selected files or emails in a few clicks. Read full review Cons The only thing missing is the ability to cancel a backup as they appear to just continue to try to run even after rebooting the BDR and endpoint until a failure finally occurs. The only other ask would be to expand support to Linux operating systems. Read full review Sometimes it slows down your computer. It doesn't restore selected emails and you have to do it twice. The UI interface could be more aesthetically pleasing. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We've been using Axcient over the years and have worked with their development team to suggest new features, something that you would not normally be able to do with other companies. They listen to what we have to say and understand that we are a business, just like them. It's great to know that someone will always be there for you when you need them.

Read full review Support Rating Issues with failing backups drag out for months at a time. Axcient hardware replacements are quick to be suggested by support but as the issues are most often with the software architecture this almost never helps. Support often uses their access to the appliance as a back door into customer environments without our consent and despite our repeated complaints, accessing our customers servers and executing disruptive diagnostics like chkdsk in the middle of production hours for that customer environment. More recently they've been blaming their frequent off-site transfer failures on our customer's firewalls (of all makes and models) and insisting that the only possible resolution is to increase the TCP session timeout dangerously high (multiple hours), putting every client environment at substantial disk of even accidental Denial of Service attacks. Talking to any two support individuals, even when escalated all the way to their development team, often yields entirely different and contradictory answers regardless of the problem.
Read full review The support for this software has been very impressive. I have not had any problems as I have been using it for the past year. I never have to worry about what may happen if I lose a file because I know it can be recovered by the support provided here.
Read full review Implementation Rating I had the miss fortune to go back to this device. Alot has changed since the first time I had used it. Now instead a full deployable network appliance, you have to download a preconfigured virtual machine that will only run on an ESXi server. What about Hyper-V? I have many clients that are Hyper-V only. I setup a test lab to get this thing up and running and it has been a nightmare to say the least. Will be looking at other options.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Security and encryption of Axcient is a top priority . Axcient have all the tools to provide solutions to different kind of businesses Best part is it has an MSP friendly console to manage multiples devices and clients at the same Dashboard. Deployment process is very easy in Windows an VMWare Devices.
Read full review I prefer Upsafe Free Gmail Backup as it works to effectively save and protect our important brainstorms and conversations, as Google auto-saves in real-time. Cloud Backup for Office365 is slightly clumsier and harder to share as so many team members don’t pay for Microsoft Office since the Google Suite does pretty much the same work.
Read full review Return on Investment The few customers I have I feel confident and comfortable that a disaster will make recovery easy and fast for my clients. I can set it up and forget about it with reports and alerts I recommend it to any client that requires a good solid backup solution; Read full review We have caught employees lying about email usage in the past. ROI is high, always being able to track where your emails/ files go is important. Read full review ScreenShots UpSafe (discontinued) Screenshots
