Backup and recovery options integrate smoothly while affordability remains a challenge
My relationship with Veeam is that I am a reseller and system integrator. The support for both cloud-based and on-premises infrastructure from Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 impacts my data protection strategy because that's the reason we are using Veeam. Veeam is a platform that supports both on-prem and cloud. It's a single pane of glass that we can support both, which is one of the good reasons we are using Veeam. The key benefits my organization has experienced with Veeam's integration of SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, and Teams within its data protection framework are that single licensing is one of the things customers prefer to use because it's very easy for them to manage. I would rate Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 overall an eight on a scale from 1 to 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a very straightforward product that is well integrated with everything."
"The most valuable aspect of Veeam is its stability."
"It is easy to use and easy to recover files."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality."
"The solution is also easy to manage and work with."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The product is very stable and performs exceptionally well."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see better prices for the licenses."
"We have found that there is a limitation in this solution where it only takes the backup of users who are using Office 365 Enterprise email IDs. We have many users in management and approximately 50 other users who are using Office 365 of which Veeam is able to capture the backup. However, for the other users who are on the local email server at that time, the solution is not able to capture the backup."
"The documentation for the installation is good. However, if you are new to the environment the installation could be difficult. The first time we did it it took approximately four days."
"The license pricing can be reduced."
"It would be beneficial to implement a mechanism that allows for more efficient input processing, such as recognizing the first capital letter of an email account."
"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."
"I would like Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to increase the speed to reduce the backup time."
"The solution announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go."
"If one administrator wants to delete something in 365, another admin must approve it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a perpetual license."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"The cost of Veeam Backup is $28 per user for one year."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
