A scalable solution for backup and restore that has an easy setup
The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems. There's no other way around it. Recently, we have also faced RDS and print server issues. One of our clients experienced some remote desktop service issues. These things keep happening with Microsoft. They have a patch, and then they have some other rollout that fixes it. The solution should be more consistent with its patching updates.

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 stability has always been very good."
"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."
"The solution has good scalability."
"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
"The way it backs up personal files is great."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Its ability to restore at the item level is very valuable. It is very strong at that. In the past, we had to restore a lot of data only for a couple of items. We can now restore an item as well as an email, which is good for productivity."
"It works well for our backup needs, and I would recommend it for Microsoft 365 due to its reliability."
"The setup is very simple. It takes 15 minutes."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is reliable and easy to use."
 

Cons

"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."
"Pricing is an area for improvement, and I would rate it at five out of ten."
"I have not really seen an ROI from Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365. On the customer side, we don't really see the ROI."
"While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use."
"It's a new product. It's not mature."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"In future updates of Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365, I would like to see mail archiving functionality."
"While Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is a highly convenient product, there is room for improvement in its integration with Microsoft 365."
"We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution could also be cheaper."
"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
"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."
