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 has protected our office data and now restores individual emails while admins configure settings
Although Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a Backup as a Service, it should give slight leverage to the admins to do more of their own configurations. When it comes to Software as a Service, we do need to agree on certain things, as we do not have much control over the software. If Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 can improve, it would be better. It could be slightly better, but it is acceptable. As long as support is provided in a timely manner, it is good. I cannot tell it is fully bad or fully good. If I were to give a rating of one to five, I might give 3.5 to four. Rather than giving a help database, which is an ocean of information to search through ourselves, we should be able to open a ticket and have them guide us on how to do it. As an end-user, different levels of admins exist—a fresh admin and a more experienced admin. They need to encourage us to open a ticket quickly, and from there they should guide us straightforwardly with the steps to follow to achieve the desired outcome.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data application is working well, and it does manage to match data when using the data option."
"In terms of data recovery, both the performance and reliability have been excellent."
"The product offers good stability."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to restore a specific email. For example, if a user has deleted an email and they would like that particular email back we are able to restore it."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"We have backups for Microsoft 365 because it is in the account of the complete tenant compromise. If we lose access to a tenant or all of the client's data gets Microsoft 365, and they lose access to all of their emails, OneDrive, and Teams data, then at least we have an off-site copy that is not linked to their Microsoft side of things."
"The most valuable feature is the data backup functionality."
"It’s amazing how the solution helps restore old data."
"Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises."
"The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent."
 

Cons

"There are limitations with new hardware where it does not support failover and does not support the three-star bank group."
"They should include the capability to back up on-premises environments."
"It would be beneficial to implement a mechanism that allows for more efficient input processing, such as recognizing the first capital letter of an email account."
"A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"They could include WAN acceleration to compress the traffic to make things faster."
"We have found that there is a limitation in this solution where it only takes the backup of users who are using Office 365 Enterprise email IDs. We have many users in management and approximately 50 other users who are using Office 365 of which Veeam is able to capture the backup. However, for the other users who are on the local email server at that time, the solution is not able to capture the backup."
"The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The SaaS platform offers many benefits; the licensing structure is suitable for monitoring and controlling users' storage space."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"We have 2000 users and pay about $10,000. It may be a little bit more per year. We have an education institute and may have fewer expenses."
"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."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a subscription-based solution."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
