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

"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."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the ease of use; you only need to create a folder in your drive and it's as simple as dragging and dropping files to store them."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 are its intuitive interface, ease of use, and unlimited capacity for backup and restore."
"The most beneficial thing is that it is admin-friendly, with no complicated menu structure, and it is straightforward when it comes to doing a backup or a restore."
"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."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"The solution is easy to use. It's very simple and clients find it very easy to find all objects and things they need with the Veeam Explorer."
"Veeam makes modular solutions, so you can install Veeam Backup for Office 365 and Veeam Backup and Replication in one single server. You can do an all in one installation, and roll it out."
"Veaam technical support, from my perspective, is one of the best technical support I've ever engaged with."
 

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."
"We tried to use Veeam for our DRP. It was complicated to use and did not help us with our DRP needs due to our internet connectivity at that time."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
"If one administrator wants to delete something in 365, another admin must approve it."
"We attempted to use it for our DRP, however, we found it too expensive and complex, so we decided to use it just for backup."
"The solution needs to introduce more features."
"When using Veeam Backup for Office 365 when there is a server that's running, I have to have a hard drive installed on it. For example, if I want to use another storage solution, I can't incorporate it very well. If I want to use SMB or other protocols I cannot use them with the Veeam Backup for Office 365. They have the support in the other Veeam Backup and Restore solutions, but it doesn't support it in this solution. Hopefully, in the future, they figured it out."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by reducing the time it takes for backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The SaaS platform offers many benefits; the licensing structure is suitable for monitoring and controlling users' storage space."
"The cost of Veeam Backup is $28 per user for one year."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a subscription-based solution."
"The price of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is inexpensive. We have a license to use the solution."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"The solution is not expensive."
"From our perspective in South Africa, our biggest challenge is the exchange rate from the South African currency to the US dollar. This makes it a bit pricey for us. However, compared to other backup solutions available, I would rate the pricing at a nine out of ten. For the servers, features, and functionality you get, it's worth the money. Of course, we'd always prefer things to be cheaper, but we also understand that you have to pay for proper functionality. So overall, it's not badly priced at all."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
