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 product offers good stability."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the ease of use. You only need to create a folder in your drive and it's as simple as dragging and dropping files to store them."
"The tool is easy to use and straightforward regarding restoration and creating backups. It's user-friendly, providing results and sending alerts when something goes wrong."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most critical feature of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is its ability to back up and protect data on cloud services."
"Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises."
"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."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see better prices for the licenses."
"If Veeam could offer backup as a service for data backup and recovery, that would be great. We'd like something like what Druva is offering at the moment."
"One major drawback is that Veeam doesn't support migrating data once it's stored in object storage like S3."
"We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower."
"As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost."
"Pricing is an area for improvement, and I would rate it at five out of ten."
"The license pricing can be reduced."
"If you use a device to back up with compression and duplication, the solution doesn't work."
"You can't really edit. For example, if you have created a backup for a user, you can't drill down on a granular level during the backup. You have to back up the mailbox completely. That's it. It would be helpful if you could at least go inside the mailboxes to choose what you want."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a perpetual license."
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"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."
"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."
"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
