Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 Reviews

Our primary use case is the backup of 365 objects and emails. At the moment, you are just testing Veeam. We are using it for production, and we are running a few productions on APIs.

We are able to store it on various cloud providers such as Amazon S3, Rocket, Azure, and IBM Cloud. It can also do on-premise integration, and we are able to use storage from on-premise. We are also able to recover data.

It is a really good and intuitive solution. Veeam has developed a fantastic product. I've never seen anything that I don't like about Veeam. It looks like a very complete solution. It is really mature, simple to use, and quite interrogative. It also has APIs for writing scripts.

Its price could be improved.

I have been using this solution for a year or two.

It is stable.

It is scalable. We currently have about a hundred users. We are currently testing it, and we are looking at expanding to almost 2,000 users.

I have contacted them, and they are good.

It is straightforward.

Currently, we have four engineers for its deployment and maintenance. We have the same number of engineers for NetApp.

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

We are already using NetApp, and we are currently testing Veeam to see which one has a much better use case. They are more or less neck-to-neck in terms of features and the simplicity of connecting to Office 365. 

Veeam has, of course, a little bit more features than NetApp. I see a lot more options in terms of where to store your backup, but, in terms of features, they're both good products. From the price point, Veeam does seem to be a bit higher than NetApp.

I really like the fact Veeam has integrated into a single pane of glass. That's one thing that NetApp should do in the future. Instead of running it as a standalone backup solution for 365, Veeam has got it right in terms of simplicity and putting everything in a single glass for access purposes.

I would recommend both Veeam and NetApp. Both of them have got it right. The only difference I see is in the management. For Office 365, we have to go into our web console which is directly integrated on the cloud, which is good because it gives that differentiation. At the same time, if you're an administrator and you're managing backups, you should have the simplicity of having everything in a single pane of glass. 

I would recommend using the Veeam console to someone who is doing Veeam on-premise or cloud backup. It gives you the simplicity of having everything in a single pane of glass. I like NetApp, but I would've liked its integration into the Netcenter. That would really raise the game for them in terms of giving a full position in a single pane of glass. However, if there are people who are using other backup solutions and they just want to purchase Office 365, NetApp is also a good product. I would recommend both to anyone, and let them feel for themselves, regardless of price, how they scale, what features they want, and how they want to store their backups.

I would rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 a nine out of ten.

We have Veeam in place for Office 365 backup and restore. We use it for mail backup and restore, SharePoint, and Teams. We were still struggling with the backup of OneDrive, which is still a discussion. We are using its latest version.

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.

When you add a new site for backup, it gives you a notice that there is a new site, but the way you select that and configure that could be slightly better. It works, but it is not always very clear. For example, for the URL, you need to hover over the title or the name of the site. You should see it immediately on the screen. It should have a better user interface for selecting what you want to back up so that you get a more clear overview of the sites that are there and the ones that you want to combine in a backup.

Its user interface should be more user-friendly. It has a lot of scrolling and doesn't give you a complete overview when needed. That's the main thing why it is not very user-friendly. It should have a better user interface. 

I have been using this solution for two years.

It has been running for two years, and it has been stable. We only had an issue this week with connectivity with AD, but that's normal.

We didn't try the scalability. We made an agreement in the beginning with a view to the end. We paid more than what was necessary. We ran it for so many users for so many years, and our manager at that point thought that it was a good offer. We have a license for 750 users, but we have approximately 550 users currently. We aren't using all subscriptions, so in the end, we may have paid more, but I should see other offers as well. 

Everything went fairly smoothly from a technical point of view and from a point of view of implementation and other things.

Veeam was the first cloud backup we used, but we have several other systems in place. We have EMC's backup and recovery solution. We are now in the middle of a global Office 365 project, and we decided to use Altaro for backup and restore there. We decided on Altaro because, from the point of view of the total cost, Altaro looks cheaper than Veeam, but we can really tell that after half a year or so. In terms of features, they are very similar.

We don't have any experience with Altaro. They provided us a proposal for two years, which we found to be too long because we don't have any experience with it. We first want to be convinced that Altaro is a better option than Veeam. Therefore, we decided this week that we go for an agreement for one year to get experience, and, when we have a good feeling down the road, we will go for a commitment for a longer time.

The initial setup was straightforward. It runs very fast.

We had some support from a supplier.

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.

I would rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case is the backup of our education-related files and data.

The most valuable feature is the integration with our Teams environment.

The environment mainly consists of PCs, although we have students and a few teachers that use Apple computers. Sometimes, we have compatibility issues related to this and the problems can take a long time to solve. Faster response time to complaints that we have had would be of great appreciation.

When you work with these cloud-based systems, the response time could be better. I never take anything for granted. When people complain about something, I always check in three different settings with different internet connections and different locations. I find that when it comes to Office, the response time could be improved quite a bit.

Some additional training materials would be helpful.

We have been using Veeam Backup for Office 365 for a couple of years.

This product is very stable. It's not perfect because all computers have a tendency to break down at one point or another.

This system is pretty scalable. I find it good because you can start with a package that is not very big, and then just add to it as much as you like. Also, you can remove things that you don't like or don't need.

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.

Our staff is made up of rather strong individuals with personal opinions about software, so we've tried to focus on fewer solutions with the widest application.

For the past six months, Microsoft Teams has been of the biggest importance for us, both in terms of teaching and meetings. Our meetings include both in-house and outside. Office 365 is one of the things that is connected to that, and our files need to be backed up regularly.

This is definitely a product that I can recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We are using this solution to back up our users' mailboxes, that is, Office 365 mailboxes.

It has got all the features. You can restore a mailbox based on an email or a calendar or based on all the emails. A user can also get access to restore the mailbox.

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

I have been using Veeam Backup for Office 365 for the last two to three years.

It is very stable.

It is easily scalable. We just need to add the licenses. We have around 50 users who use it on a daily basis.

We get support from the vendor. We didn't face many issues to evaluate them. Whenever we contacted them, the issue was fixed immediately.

The initial setup is pretty simple and very straightforward. We finished the deployment within one or two days.

We did the implementation. We had received the training for this solution. Its maintenance is also done by us. We also get support from the vendor.

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.

I would definitely recommend this solution. It is working fine, and there are no issues. We are happy with its features.

I would rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 a nine out of ten. 

We use the product as a data backup tool for Office 365.

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is reliable and easy to use.

There could be integration with monitoring tools. They should include some more options to send alerts in existing monitoring software.

We have been using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 for three years.

It is a very stable product.

The product has flexible scalability. It is suitable for medium and enterprise businesses. I rate its scalability a seven out of ten.

The initial setup is straightforward. I rate the process a nine. It takes less than a day to complete.

It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten.

I rate Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 a seven out of ten. I advise others to look for more secure products.

The Veeam Backup solution is very good for big enterprises and complex infrastructures. The main reason we are using Veeam is for end users.

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.

I have been working with Veeam Backup for Office 365 for a couple of years.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten.

Veeam has a great tech support team.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward and does not take long.

We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower.

I would rate it a ten out of ten.

Our primary use case for this solution is to back up and restore from the cloud to on-premises.

The feature that helps keep data in the email and OneDrive is valuable.

When working with this solution, doing backups on-premises to the traditional storage is done with no compression and duplication. So if you use a device to back up with compression and duplication, the solution doesn't work. Hence, this is an improvement that can be made. Additionally, the console management system can be improved.

We have been using the solution for 14 years and are currently using the Enterprise Plus version.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

The customer service and support team are good. I rate them a nine out of ten.

Positive

I cannot comment on the initial setup complexity because a different department handled it. One engineer is required for implementation.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution is good, but the console management can be improved, and the new feature could include compression and duplication features. I advise new users to ensure they have a lot of space before using the solution because it's not optimized with compression and duplication features.

Our primary use case for this solution is performing backups.

The solution is costly and it could be improved by making it cheaper.

We have been using this solution for quite some time.

The solution is stable. With the options available, it's the only one we've used. 

The solution is scalable. However, it depends on the client and whether they are small to medium-sized or large enterprises.

I have not encountered customer service and support.

The initial setup is relatively straightforward.

I rate the pricing a six out of ten.

We have a demo on Druva and we are currently assessing other options.

I rate this solution a seven out of ten. The solution is good but can be improved by reviewing the price. I advise users considering the product to have at least 30 to 60 days of testing.
