Efficient data management but struggles with new hardware limitations
We use it for many different purposes, including SQL, files, and other applications. We are considering a solution to replace it due to limitations with new hardware that it does not support The data application is working well, and it does manage to match data when using the data option. There…

Backup and recovery options integrate smoothly while affordability remains a challenge
My relationship with Veeam is that I am a reseller and system integrator. The support for both cloud-based and on-premises infrastructure from Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 impacts my data protection strategy because that's the reason we are using Veeam. Veeam is a platform that supports both on-prem and cloud. It's a single pane of glass that we can support both, which is one of the good reasons we are using Veeam. The key benefits my organization has experienced with Veeam's integration of SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, and Teams within its data protection framework are that single licensing is one of the things customers prefer to use because it's very easy for them to manage. I would rate Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 overall an eight on a scale from 1 to 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"In terms of data recovery, both the performance and reliability have been excellent."
"The data application is working well, and it does manage to match data when using the data option."
"Veaam technical support, from my perspective, is one of the best technical support I've ever engaged with."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"For data security, we rely on Veeam Backup for Teams and it is quite effective."
"The most valuable feature is the data backup functionality."
"It's user-friendly, especially for taking incremental backups."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is its performance. Additionally, the user interface and documentation are easy to use and navigate."
"Its absolute functionality and intuitiveness are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"They should include the capability to back up on-premises environments."
"There are limitations with new hardware where it does not support failover and does not support the three-star bank group."
"Veeam's performance is inconsistent."
"Pricing is an area for improvement, and I would rate it at five out of ten."
"The solution is costly."
"The solution announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go."
"If one administrator wants to delete something in 365, another admin must approve it."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
"They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The SaaS platform offers many benefits; the licensing structure is suitable for monitoring and controlling users' storage space."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"We looked at a few cloud options. When we did the comparison, we found it to be a cost-effective solution, and it included everything."
"Veaam Backup is licensed per mailbox, which customers like because it's per user and so they don't have to pay for shared mailboxes."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"We decided on Altaro because, from the point of view of the total cost, Altaro looks cheaper than Veeam. Veeam has a lot of costs that are not clear when you start it, which makes it less flexible than Altaro, but only after half a year, you can be really sure that you made a good decision."
