Featured Reviews

Ahmad Mohammed EL-DADA - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides server-side and backend application support but needs better interface
The last update made the interface look somewhat unfamiliar to users. Data recovery was technically flawless at some point. However, an update after a merger changed things. The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward as before, and we're facing some challenges. Specifically, one user encrypted their data, and since they have left the company, we cannot decrypt it. This has resulted in a loss of access to that data.
Chong Khing  Lee - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"Druva is offered as a service so that we can access it from any enterprise-based browser or URL. We also have a single sign-on, which allows me to log in securely. Hence, I can easily access the system, configure it, perform day-to-day monitoring tasks, and check for any issues or configurations needed. Overall, it's a simple and easy-to-use tool with a high-speed and straightforward interface for management."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"The installation process is very easy."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."
"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."
"It's user-friendly, especially for taking incremental backups."
"Veeam makes modular solutions, so you can install Veeam Backup for Office 365 and Veeam Backup and Replication in one single server. You can do an all in one installation, and roll it out."
"The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers."
"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."
"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"
 

Cons

"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"The support of other cloud services needs to be improved. It has very good cloud support for AWS but not with others."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution. Even if the product is good, people cannot afford such a high cost just for taking the backup. This is a recurring investment, and the customers have to pay for it every year. Druva is also yet to develop the channel and the channel or partner commitment."
"If I could have an accelerator or something to back up the solution on the cloud, that would be helpful. Also, it would be helpful if the accelerator could give me a buffer of a couple of days for any kind of immediate recovery on an offsite."
"If it could rebuild the data without pulling down the entire chunk, it would be an improvement."
"The solution needs to improve its speed."
"The solution needs to introduce more features."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
"I would like Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to increase the speed to reduce the backup time."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Veaam Backup can be confusing for customers when they start trying to understand how to use the product in multiple environments."
"Veeam's performance is inconsistent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"The pricing is good."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"Veaam Backup is licensed per mailbox, which customers like because it's per user and so they don't have to pay for shared mailboxes."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"The pricing is expensive."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"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."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
