Considered Both Products

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 …
Chose Axcient x360Cloud
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 …
Chose Axcient x360Cloud
My absolute favorite thing about the Axcient x360Cloud line up was the options and the bring your own device on some of the non cloud options and they have a strong presence among some of the other competitors. However the cloud agent needs a little more fleshing out in order …

We do not use anything else to backup Microsoft 365 emails and Sharepoint sites.

Chose HYCU
This fits Nutanix better than anything I have found. HYCU clearly focuses on personalized service. You can email, call or open a web ticketed, depending on your urgency.
Chose HYCU
I have used several backup programs, I selected 2 just to be brief. The best thing I see with HYCU over Veeam is that it is much more difficult for an attacker if inside the network to gain access to the backups and objects saved in the backup storage.
The best part about HYCU …
Chose HYCU
We moved from VMware w/ Veeam to Hyper-V w/ Microsoft Data Protection Manager. Each backup solution worked well for its respective workload. We made the jump to AHV on Nutanix. MSFT DPM wasn’t compatible and HYCU was a better value than Veeam.

We've had the best experiences when needing to recover emails from snapshots and date ranges which have been deleted. The Smart Search works relatively well and is easy to recover. Sometimes the restoration process can take a while depending on the size and amount of emails but is generally ok.

It’s well suited for Nutanix AHV data protection and includes the ability for immutable backups via WORM policy. I’m unsure of its performance in environments that use Hyper-V OR VMware for virtualization. The use of tiered backups without additional policies are great when creating new VMs, even automatically assigning a default backup policy to ensure that all workloads have at least a minimal level of data protection

  • Better DR support guidance/best practices

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.

Very simple interface. Can learn it in a day. The instances where I needed a little hand holding, I just called support and they assisted immediately. That's the best of both worlds.

I have had several requests, and issues with the rollout and deployment of HYCU in our production environment. The HYCU team of support and developers have met each issue with importance and some kind of resolution or explanation of help. They have been so supportive even in the not so easy ones. That says something for their product and team behind it.

I have used several backup programs, I selected 2 just to be brief. The best thing I see with HYCU over Veeam is that it is much more difficult for an attacker if inside the network to gain access to the backups and objects saved in the backup storage. The best part about HYCU over Bacula is that it is much easier to use and more stable. The interface alone will save you from time and energy using other products
