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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Hornet offers unlimited space and time for backups as long as the subscription is continued."
"Hornet offers unlimited space and time for backups as long as the subscription is continued."
"Its ability to restore at the item level is very valuable, as in the past we had to restore a lot of data only for a couple of items and we can now restore an item as well as an email, which is good for productivity."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"One of the main features of the solution is it is easy to use."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is reliable and easy to use."
"The way it backs up personal files is great."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is its performance."
"Veaam technical support, from my perspective, is one of the best technical support I've ever engaged 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."
 

Cons

"The price might be limiting for some clients in Latin America."
"The price might be limiting for some clients in Latin America."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
"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."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by reducing the time it takes for backups. I have mentioned this to Veeam and hopefully, in the next version, it will be a faster backup."
"I find that technical support can be improved because for people who are knowledgeable, it is good, whereas for people who are not, the support is too technical."
"Veeam is quite expensive."
"It's a new product. It's not mature."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"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."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"The solution is not expensive."
"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."
