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

"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"The solution has good scalability."
"The stability has always been very good."
"The most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"The solution is stable and, with the options available, it's the only one we've used."
"The most valuable aspect of Veeam is its stability."
"We have seen an ROI, we have been saved from incidents by this solution many times, we've avoided corruption of data, and we are not losing time thinking about how data could be protected."
"The solution is also easy to manage and work with."
 

Cons

"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"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."
"Veaam Backup can be confusing for customers when they start trying to understand how to use the product in multiple environments."
"While Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is a highly convenient product, there is room for improvement in its integration with Microsoft 365."
"Pricing could be more affordable."
"Microsoft currently saves only two months of conversation history, and it would be better if Veeam could focus on backing up more than two months of conversation data."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"Currently, I'm working for Huawei and they dropped the support for Huawei, so that's an issue for us."
"This solution would be improved if our customers could simplify their graphic user interface and for it to be more user-friendly."
"The solution needs to introduce more features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"The solution could also be cheaper."
"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"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."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
"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."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
