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.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance

One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"Deploying Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 was very easy. I did the installation by myself, without any help. I spent one day on the installation of the product, and all weeks are working normally."

"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."

"The way it backs up personal files is great."

"The solution provides good backup services for Microsoft 365."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"The scalability is good."

"It is a perfect, mature product."

More Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 pros

"The solution is quite stable, and we haven't had any problems over the past five years of use."

"We're comfortable using this kind of technology; it's user-friendly."

"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."

"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."

"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."

"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."

"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."

"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."

More Veritas Alta SaaS Protection pros

Cons

"We attempted to use it for our DRP, however, we found it too expensive and complex, so we decided to use it just for backup."

"If clients are backing up onto tape, Veeam's newest versions don't really deal with that."

"You can't really edit. For example, if you have created a backup for a user, you can't drill down on a granular level during the backup. You have to back up the mailbox completely. That's it. It would be helpful if you could at least go inside the mailboxes to choose what you want."

"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."

"They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release."

"It requires quite an amount of infrastructure. You have to set up the instance, and you need to know quite a bit about Microsoft 365 authentication. For some customers, it is a challenge."

"The solution needs to improve its speed."

"They can provide a dashboard for sizing."

More Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 cons

"Technical support can be improved."

"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract."

"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good."

"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."

"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."

"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."

"The program is quite expensive and I am not impressed by their technical support."

"Technical support can be improved."

More Veritas Alta SaaS Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."

"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."

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

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

"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."

"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."

"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."

"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."

More Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 pricing and cost advice

"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."

"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."

"The program is quite expensive."

"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."

"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
