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 platform's most effective feature is quickly recovering virtual instances into a separate environment."
"The solution is stable."
"It works well for our backup needs, and I would recommend it for Microsoft 365 due to its reliability."
"The scalability is good."
"Once you set it up, it works very well. You do not have to go back to reconfigure it– it is very easy to use"
"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."
"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."
"The setup is very simple. It takes 15 minutes."
"It is easy to set up. You can use some functions to make sure you get the maximum bandwidth to do the backup. It has an option to bypass Microsoft network limitations and things like that."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"It's hard to predict the usage on the storage. I need to make some estimates for customers in terms of how much storage will be needed on the cloud, and this is always tricky."
"When you are working in the Cloud security is very important."
"The documentation for the installation is good. However, if you are new to the environment the installation could be difficult."
"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."
"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."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover a VM straight to on-prem."
"The installation could always be a little bit easier."
"They could include WAN acceleration to compress the traffic to make things faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The additional cost is cloud storage, which the public cloud provider charges."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
"Veaam Backup is licensed per mailbox, which customers like because it's per user and so they don't have to pay for shared mailboxes."
"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."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"The solution is not expensive."
