    Chose Axcient x360Cloud
    The performance and GUI for the previous products were inferior to Axcient's x360Cloud. The price was comparable but we were spending too much time trying to maintain and improve the product which was costing us time in productivity. The feature set was also not as good as what …

    Axcient x360Cloud is a good product if a backup solutions is needed for 365 products. If the backup is constantly being used and restores need to happen frequently I can see how Axcient x360Cloud could be annoying as the search functionality is lacking. It is also difficult to find specific files or emails as well as subfolders.

    In situations where business continuity needs are high, ShadowProtect backups provide the ability to keep operations running with very minimal downtime, even in situations like crypto-locked data. If a backup server is set up in an environment to resume a live server from backup, this is even more helpful. In situations where clients don't care as much about quickly recovering their data, they can go without a solution like this.

    Usability

    This is because the product does what it advertises but does not go above and beyond. It is perfectly usable for what it does but it is still a little confusing and awkward to use.

    We don’t need support often, but when we do, the support has been strong. Sometimes it is hard to determine how to access support for the exact issue we are having. There are a decent forum and online ticketing system. Support for the cloud center seems to be provided only by phone, though.

    As an MSP, we have been able to provide protection for cloud documents to our customer. With Axcient x360Recover, we can feel confident that we are providing a service that is commonplace today but reliable with Axcient. This protection comes at a reasonable price that makes profit margins obtainable without scarifying quality.

    • We have been with Shadowprotect for 5 years and are now only moving off of them due to limited functionality and Shadowprotect doubling our billing.
    • The product now requires a lot more babysitting so I have one person just stuck managing backups, which is not a fulfilling job and hard to keep someone in that seat.
    • While Shadowprotect has been fantastic for years, it is time for us to move on to something that makes financial sense and requires less labour.
    • Storagecraft Cloud is fairly expensive compared to competitors.
