Excellent software and piece of mind

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Review of GSuite backup solutions

So far, it has been a great experience. The only issue we have really experienced is regarding notification for billing as the email notification seems to not be obvious as it references a different company and/or is auto-generated from the company's billing system.

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Reason for choosing Afi SaaS Backup

Cheapest cost which also addressed the issues that we were seeing/experiencing with the incumbent product.

Reasons for switching to Afi SaaS Backup

The stability of AFI and the support for issue resolution was significantly better with AFI. In saying that, the price of AFI vs Syscloud was/is significantly more.

Great Tool that I would Highly Recommend

PROS

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

CONS

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.

You can't rely on it

I used this to back up my small G-Suite account with five people. Technically, this worked fine. Our Google Drive has nowadays more than 5 TB of data, which is not all that big for a G-Suite account. Such a drive can get much bigger, and Google won’t charge extra. But Afi does. Even though their pricing page clearly says that their license is purely user bases and that shared drives are included at no additional cost, their customer support had a bad surprise for me. They wrote to me that our G-Suite account is larger than 5 TB in their system, so they had to charge $350 per month instead of the $15 per month that I signed up for. That was a shock to me. They stated a fair use clause in their ToS, but when I looked it up, that clause did not mention the 5 TB limit, neither any volume-based price that they have to charge. So I did not pay the $350. We lost our backup and had to switch the provider. In case you take your chance and work with this company despite their questionable business practices, I suggest you either keep a close eye on how much space your G-Suite account takes up in their system or be prepared to pay much more than anticipated.

PROS

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

CONS

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

Afi SaaS Rocks!!!

Our experience with AFI.ai has been most positive. I am a fan. It meets all of our requirements and then some.

PROS

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.

CONS

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

Reason for choosing Afi SaaS Backup

Cost, cost, cost. Easy to set up, worked seamlessly with Office 365 and Google Workspace. It far exceeded all of our requirements.
