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."
"Technical support in Veeam is good."
"The most valuable aspect of Veeam is its stability."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is reliable and easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"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 most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is its performance. Additionally, the user interface and documentation are easy to use and navigate."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with ten being easy."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"Technical support could be improved."
"If one administrator wants to delete something in 365, another admin must approve it."
"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."
"If it could rebuild the data without pulling down the entire chunk, it would be an improvement."
"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"Currently, I'm working for Huawei and they dropped the support for Huawei, so that's an issue for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The additional cost is cloud storage, which the public cloud provider charges."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."
"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."
"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 cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"We looked at a few cloud options. When we did the comparison, we found it to be a cost-effective solution, and it included everything."
