User-friendly interface, and reasonably priced but the support needs improvement

While the solution is generally satisfactory, we encountered difficulties when attempting to seek assistance for issues we faced. Getting the necessary help proved to be quite challenging. The after-sales service is not ideal for French-speaking customers like us in Quebec. Unfortunately, there is no local support available for us. We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers.

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

"Generally speaking about Veeam, as a vendor, from a technical support perspective, I've really enjoyed the fact that they have a really high response rate."

"The interesting part of the solution is that the customer does not have to invest in a second site to store their offsite backups."

"I've found flexibility to be the most valuable feature, and I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."

"Replication without network changes."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."

"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."

"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

"The program has been working really well for us."

"The setup is very simple. It takes 15 minutes."

"It is very simple to set up."

"One of the main features of the solution is it is easy to use."

"It is a perfect, mature product."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."

Cons

"The solution could improve the stability."

"The dashboard could be more intuitive."

"I also think the cost factor is a major issue for Veeam because it's a very expensive soluton especially when the client wants support for VMware."

"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."

"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."

"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."

"Doesn't back-up from KVM."

"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] cons

"In some instances, a customer is not necessarily backing up Microsoft 365. For instance, they might be backing up a large Oracle database. It would be nice if they could tweak it to compress the file, so it's easier to transfer a huge file."

"There is still a need for improvement when it comes to individual database backups, particularly for Oracle and other newer databases."

"The solution could improve scalability, both in terms of more storage and users. These two attributes are quite important when you talk about good scalability."

"We have some issues with backing up the on-premises infrastructure, but that is something we will resolve with their technical department and customer support."

"While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use."

"They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance."

"Technical support could be improved."

"We have found that there is a limitation in this solution where it only takes the backup of users who are using Office 365 Enterprise email IDs. We have many users in management and approximately 50 other users who are using Office 365 of which Veeam is able to capture the backup. However, for the other users who are on the local email server at that time, the solution is not able to capture the backup."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."

"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."

"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."

"The cost is a bit on the high side."

"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."

"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."

"The cost of Veeam Backup is $28 per user for one year."

"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."

"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."
