Reliable rollback features for smooth IT operations and an easy setup
We are using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to take backups of shop floor PCs. I use it for clients locally, particularly for critical machines. It is also used globally for server-side backups and includes scheduling features like taking ten backups every Sunday when the factory is closed. This…
SunilPanigrahi - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable solution with good duplication capabilities and fair pricing
The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement.  I've been using the solution for five years. The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any problems over the past five years of use. Scalability is fine. We keep adding different…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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"
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"We have backups for Microsoft 365 because it is in the account of the complete tenant compromise. If we lose access to a tenant or all of the client's data gets Microsoft 365, and they lose access to all of their emails, OneDrive, and Teams data, then at least we have an off-site copy that is not linked to their Microsoft side of things."
"Its ability to restore at the item level is very valuable. It is very strong at that. In the past, we had to restore a lot of data only for a couple of items. We can now restore an item as well as an email, which is good for productivity."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."
"The most valuable feature is the data backup functionality."
"Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"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."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"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."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"When you are working in the Cloud security is very important."
"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."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release."
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
"I would like Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to increase the speed to reduce the backup time."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
"Technical support could be improved."
"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."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
"The price of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is inexpensive. We have a license to use the solution."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
"I have a per-user license for the number of users and the mailboxes that I have."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"The program is quite expensive."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
