Pros

Granular and rapid data restoration for individual items like emails, files, and SharePoint content.
Comprehensive backup coverage across Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Entra ID.
Straightforward setup and intuitive interface simplifying daily backup management.

Cons

Limitations in backup scheduling options, restricting user control over timing.
User interface and overall usability could be improved, presenting a learning curve for some.
Cost and licensing structure, specifically regarding shared mailboxes, is a point of contention.

User data or 365 user backups.
Exchange mailbox backup and restore.

Maybe on pre or hybrid backup for on prem users.
Functionality with maybe a user local profile backup.

It has saved 365 user mailbox restores.

Anthony De la Rosa View profile

IT Director in Information Technology at Capezio (51-200 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently using the product to back up my Office 365 environment. Emails, SharePoint, Teams, etc. The product addresses the need to back up my data, because Microsoft does not back up your data.

Pros

Email backups.
SharePoint backups.

Cons

I would like the option to remove users from the backup and set them to an alternate storage location/ archive location. Currently, my backups are at 7 TB, and I would like to segment out data with lower data retention requirements.

Return on Investment

Positive impact on the amount of time it takes me to reference emails from the backups. Users ask for the email addresses of former employees. I can find it quickly and export the media to the users.
