Easy to setup, good support and stable product
When we started, we used Acronis for both cloud and on-premises backups. Protege was a reliable solution, and the cloud-focused approach is well-suited for our current needs. If you require both cloud and on-premises backup capabilities, Acronis is a more comprehensive solution. For solely cloud-based backups, Protege is a solid option.

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

"Since it is on the cloud, it is a very stable solution."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to restore a specific email. For example, if a user has deleted an email and they would like that particular email back we are able to restore it."
"The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."
"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 most valuable feature is the data backup functionality."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the backups, we do not want to lose any files. Each one of the files is updated on a regular long-term basis and kept together in the Microsoft cloud-only."
"Veaam technical support, from my perspective, is one of the best technical support I've ever engaged with."
"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"I appreciate that Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 allows me to back up on both local storage and cloud storage, providing two options for data restoration."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution."
"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 still a need for improvement when it comes to individual database backups, particularly for Oracle and other newer databases."
"They don't have native integration with deduplication of storage."
"The solution needs to introduce more features."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
"Currently, I'm working for Huawei and they dropped the support for Huawei, so that's an issue for us."
"As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."

"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
