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."
"The product offers good stability."
"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"
"The scalability of Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is very good."
"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."
"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."
"For those considering implementing the solution, I would say to just go for it."
"It is very simple to set up."
"The program has been working really well for us."
 

Cons

"The price might be limiting for some clients in Latin America."
"They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"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."
"We tried to use Veeam for our DRP. It was complicated to use and did not help us with our DRP needs due to our internet connectivity at that time."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."
"Pricing could be more affordable."
"They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"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."
"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."
"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."
"The cost of Veeam Backup is $28 per user for one year."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
