Automated backups have protected critical files and restore deleted SharePoint data quickly
The features of Datto SaaS Protection that I have found the most valuable and useful so far include performing a backup every four hours, so I can look at multiple versions of that file and find the most compatible version that I need. There are many choices for the file, making it a nice broad choice. The automated backup feature helps my data protection strategy by giving me confidence that we will not lose any data if there was ever ransomware or if we had someone who was wanting to do harm with our system; we would be able to restore our data. The usefulness of advanced search in Datto SaaS Protection is that I can always find the file that I am after, and it is quick to find files. Datto SaaS Protection's point-in-time restore feature has been effective in recovering data so far; every time I have looked for something, I have been able to find a version for it, and it is soon recovered. It is fast and will recover any size of data. Datto SaaS Protection's reporting tools have helped maintain data protection transparency in my organization by giving me confidence that our data is there and it is being backed up.

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.

Pros

"The automated backup feature helps my data protection strategy by giving me confidence that we will not lose any data if there was ever ransomware or if we had someone who was wanting to do harm with our system; we would be able to restore our data."
"Overall, it's a very good product."
"One of the main features of the solution is it is easy to use."
"It works well for our backup needs, and I would recommend it for Microsoft 365 due to its reliability."
"Veaam Backup has recently added MS Teams to the programs they cover, which was a big improvement."
"The solution is also easy to manage and work with."
"I appreciate the feature of having a single tool for backup, replication, and secondary backup; with the same tool, the same job can be extended and configured to meet compliance requirements as per customer needs."
"We like Veeam because it is working well, and we are satisfied with it, with the technical support, with the features, with all the possibilities that it offers."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with M365. Its GUI is intuitive and not bad. The granular recovery options for VMs have been useful, though not as crucial as Office 365 integration, which is why we use it. Granular recovery depends on the specific problems our customers face."
 

Cons

"Datto SaaS Protection could be improved by addressing the issue that when you look at the cutting time and go to another time, it does not take you back to the same location."
"There is still a need for improvement when it comes to individual database backups, particularly for Oracle and other newer databases."
"I think the pricing model is wrong."
"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."
"While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use."
"As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost."
"The solution is costly and it could be improved by making it cheaper."
"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."
"We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
"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."
"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."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
