Afi SaaS Backup

Vorteile

We love the fact that we have everything constantly backed up - with the ability to easily recall previous versions of creative projects if there's a corruption or anything else goes wrong.

Nachteile

We've had a couple of issues with the UI not displaying properly when we needed to get into the system. Support were able to fix though.

Vorteile

AFI is a stable solution that is mid-range priced for schools. It is difficult to justify the cost of SaaS backup solutions compared to traditional on-prem backup solutions so we need to find the cheapest solution that allows us to comply with overarching laws, legislation and policies. At the same time, the solution needs to be stable.

Nachteile

Our previous SaaS backup solution/vendor had more inclusions/services at a cheaper price than AFI so it was difficult to pitch a move to AFI to our school management. It seems that backup products are not considered in-depth at a management level as it is a simple cost for compliance discussion.

Vorteile

You can assign different service levels for the various users of your G-Suite organization

Nachteile

You can suddenly lose your backup when your data consumes a certain amount of space in their system.

Vorteile

It backups also all metadata that we allocate to files in Drive.
Ease of use.

Nachteile

Each recovered document gets a new document ID. This is imminent to the Google API - alle backup solution today are dealing with it. But from a user perspective still not ideal.

Warum Afi SaaS Backup gewählt wurde

Zuvor genutzte Software

Vorteile

We use it Afi SaaS Backup with Google G Suite and we like most this software for very easy use. This program is also well documented.

Nachteile

At this moment, we have not found anything that we believe could be improved.

Vorteile

The standout feature of Afi SaaS Backup is its comprehensive coverage. It seamlessly safeguards my Gmail emails, Google Drive files, and calendars, offering an all-in-one solution for my critical data protection needs.- Even in the lowest pricing tiers it offers a backup history and is very comprehensive when restoring data to an account.- It easily connects with our Cloud and the instructions for setup area easy to understand even for non-technical people- The support from Afi has been very fast and we haven't waited on a response for more than a day ever

Nachteile

I think the feedback here would get them from 4.8 to 5 stars and is not substantial:- The interface gives me the impression that this started as a very technical UI for technical people and now tries to also cater more non-technical users. However it's stuck in a somewhat in-between state that takes some time to get into.- In cases of errors I wish the messages would give more direct insights into the errors and point to the right resource to fix them. This would save a couple of emails with customer support.

Vorteile

Reliable, fast, easy to set up and configure, easy to restore and remove huge files to reduce our space requirements. Support is quick and knowledgeable.

Nachteile

There is nothing to dislike. The user interface sequentially to look at or edit users could be improved.

Vorteile

Reliable backup, no errors, issues or downtime.

Nachteile

We'd like to use the same vendor to backup our SFDC

Vorteile

Nice UI, usage reporting, you can manage backup policies by Organizational Unit

Nachteile

None so far, we're looking for their launch of SFDC backup.

Vorteile

usability, supports large environments, not expensive

Nachteile

we also need support of microsoft office 365

Vorteile

I think the simplicity and speed of setup was the most enjoyable factor from the start.

Nachteile

I think it is a little unclear how to get the exact results you're looking for from the restore function.

Vorteile

It has a fully integrated interface with the tenant. The GUI is to our opinion user friendly and it is clear what every task is doing for you.

Nachteile

Setup was a little confusing for us since we are hosting multiple customers and the way to get our engineers in the portal was a small struggle but with the help of our account manager it was quickly solved.

Vorteile

- Easy to deploy and manage
- It is reliable and fast
- Support has been very quick to respond to any questions I've had

Nachteile

Honestly, I haven't found anything about the product that I don't like. That's pretty rare.

Vorteile

Good integration with Google and was quick to setup and easy to see my backups google drive and restore.

Nachteile

Nothing really, only risk is that the product is not that well known as some others.

Vorteile

Many competitive products that can back up shared drives were much more expensive and this is a critical function for us.

Nachteile

We are waiting for the ability to backup V2 (new) Google Sites, but this is waiting on a feature release from Google.

Vorteile

The pricing is better than the competitors I vetted, and the functionality is on par as well. The customer service has been stellar from the start of the sales process through questions that came up after full implementation.

Nachteile

At this point I have not found any issues that I dislike. There are some features like the archived emails being searched in a manner that might be improved from the current setup, but the system works well already.

Vorteile

The platform is very easy to setup and maintain.

Nachteile

I wish it had slightly more storsge space (like unlimited) but pricing is low enough that we can add more easily.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Afi SaaS Backup

Vorteile

Really fast to setup, ans easy to use. Not a lot of option. I'm not an expert, and I could manage to do it by my own. In couple of click all our date were saved. Impressive!
The offer for NGO is very interesting.

Nachteile

For our need, there is no really problem I can see

Vorteile

Opportunities to back up everything in the G-suite and that it happens quickly

Nachteile

Payment solution could have been better. Specification of what it is you are paying for and which customer. As well as opportunities to pay with PayPal had been a big plus

Vorteile

The software was very easy to configure for backing up our organization's mail and drive data. The cost was very reasonable compared to other applications advertising to do that same thing.

Nachteile

I have not found anything negative about this software yet.

Vorteile

I was unhappy since years with this or that circuitous and complicate g suite back up tool or Googles own Backup possibilities. Now all my wishes are satisfied with afi SaaS Backup. Having still the free G suite I'm always at the limit with the 15 GB storage. So it's necessary for me to backup my important mails permanently online and - from time to time - to my offline backup discs. Both works perfect with afi.

Nachteile

I can't say anything in this regard - everything fine for me.
