Stable solution with a wider boost functionality, helping us eliminate the tape backup requirements
We use the solution to protect the applications running in the cloud or on-premises. Its wider boost functionality helps us eliminate the tape backup requirements The solution's most valuable feature is throttling the applications as per the bandwidth. Using it, we can adapt a method to work on…

We are using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to take backups of shop floor PCs. I use it for clients locally, particularly for critical machines. It is also used globally for server-side backups and includes scheduling features like taking ten backups every Sunday when the factory is closed. This…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's support team is excellent."
"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 are its intuitive interface, ease of use, and unlimited capacity for backup and restore."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Teams environment."
"It was easy to set up."
"This covers the areas of backing up Office 365 that Microsoft does not include in its standard routine."
"Veeam is affordable and end-to-end configuration is straightforward, whether you're going from source to destination or vice versa. Retrieval is also easy."
"The way it backs up personal files is great."
"For data security, we rely on Veeam Backup for Teams and it is quite effective."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."
 

Cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
"The product cannot back up Active Directory objects while its competitors can. Self-service power enables us to deal with service providers. We provide services for our clients, so having a multi-tenant service portal would be good."
"When using Veeam Backup for Office 365 when there is a server that's running, I have to have a hard drive installed on it. For example, if I want to use another storage solution, I can't incorporate it very well. If I want to use SMB or other protocols I cannot use them with the Veeam Backup for Office 365. They have the support in the other Veeam Backup and Restore solutions, but it doesn't support it in this solution. Hopefully, in the future, they figured it out."
"It requires quite an amount of infrastructure. You have to set up the instance, and you need to know quite a bit about Microsoft 365 authentication. For some customers, it is a challenge."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"Its price could be improved."
"Veeam's performance is inconsistent."
"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."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."
"The pricing is expensive."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"The solution is not 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."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
