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

"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."
"For data security, we rely on Veeam Backup for Teams and it is quite effective."
"Veeam is affordable and end-to-end configuration is straightforward, whether you're going from source to destination or vice versa. Retrieval is also easy."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"Veaam technical support, from my perspective, is one of the best technical support I've ever engaged with."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with ten being easy."
"Its absolute functionality and intuitiveness are the most valuable features."
"Technical support in Veeam is good."
 

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."
"The product cannot back up Active Directory objects while its competitors can. Self-service power enables us to deal with service providers. We provide services for our clients, so having a multi-tenant service portal would be good."
"It's a new product. It's not mature."
"If it could rebuild the data without pulling down the entire chunk, it would be an improvement."
"The solution could offer better reporting."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."
"The license pricing can be reduced."
"Technical support could be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The SaaS platform offers many benefits; the licensing structure is suitable for monitoring and controlling users' storage space."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."
"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."
"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."
"The solution is not expensive."
