Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 Reviews

The use case is to back up Office 365 data. The users want their data in Office 365 to be backed up because even Microsoft has some data protection limitations. There are cases where the data could be lost, and Microsoft will not take responsibility. It is the responsibility of the users to set up a proper backup. For example, if you have a malicious user deleting certain data, you can restore it yourself. That's a use case for Veeam Backup for Office 365.

It helps to ensure that you can always have your data restored. For example, if someone hacked your account and deleted all your data, you always have a way to restore it. 

It is easy to set up. You can use some functions to make sure you get the maximum bandwidth to do the backup. It has an option to bypass Microsoft network limitations and things like that.

Functionality-wise, it is better than most of its competitors. 

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. 

It is also not cheap.

I have been working with this solution for a few months.

It is pretty good.

It is pretty flexible and scalable. You can set up servers and multiple proxies depending on your usage. It can handle a big volume of data.

In our company, we have less than 50 people. It is used by IT admins. Typically, you would need one or two people to do some routine tasks. For example, if a user deleted an email and wants to restore it, the user will call the IT admin to restore the email. 

I just set up two instances. It was not that hard. We have two or three people for deployment and maintenance.

Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing.

If you are a small company and you do not have too many resources, I would advise trying some backup service and not setting up your own backup infrastructure. You can use a SaaS service. There are some companies that provide Veeam backup as a service. They set it up for you and charge you a usage-based fee, which could be a cheaper option.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

We install Veeam Backup for Office 365 in every system. We use the system application for taking the backups.

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.

Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by reducing the time it takes for backups. I have mentioned this to Veeam and hopefully, in the next version, it will be a faster backup.

In a future release of Veeam Backup for Office 365, they could improve the dashboard to show simple task information.

I have been using Veeam Backup for Office 365 for three months.

Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a scalable solution.

We have 14 people using this solution in my organization.

When we purchased the solution nobody gave us a demo solution for us to test. We had to contact the support for them to help us.

The price of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is inexpensive. We have a license to use the solution.

My advice to others is they have to make sure the backups they are doing are done correctly. If anything is missing you need to check them.

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

We use this solution to protect our mailboxes, our data, and Office 365.

We use it in our office as well as for our customers who have Office 365.

I use it in a multi-tenant way.

It does what it does. I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works. I can restore the data.

The interface is quite okay and the procedures are clear.

There are many applications in Office 365 and new applications are being added. They keep up with all of the data.

Security is the most important feature. When you are working in the Cloud security is very important.

They may have made changes recently, and may already have the two-factor integration, and following the security upgrades from Office themselves.

I have been using Veeam Backup for Office 365 for approximately two years.

We are using the latest version.

It's a stable solution. We have not had any issues with stability.

It is very scalable.

While I still have customers who are using Office 365, I will continue to use this solution to protect their data.

I am very happy with Veeam's support. They are good and very responsive.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's is very easy to install.

It can be deployed in less than an hour.

I completed the installation and deployment myself.

I have a per-user license for the number of users and the mailboxes that I have.

Definitely, I recommend using Veeam Backup for Office 365.

They are adding SharePoint and OneDrive as well as other integrations.

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

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.

When we work with physical infrastructure, we use a Veeam agent to protect that workload, but we use Veeam for Office 365 to protect workloads in 365. 

The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers.

A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system.

I started using Veeam for 365 around a year ago.

I rate Veeam eight out of 10 for stability.

I rate Veeam Backup for 365 nine out of 10 for scalability.

I rate Veeam support seven out of 10. 

Neutral

Setting up Veeam is easy and intuitive. One or two people can deploy it depending on the number of devices or the workload. 

I rate Veeam eight out of 10 for affordability. 

I rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 eight out of 10 overall. Veeam works and is so straightforward. I can recommend it.

The solution is mainly used for production. If they lose connectivity to the cloud, they will have a backup on hand. 

We just mainly use the solution for a backup. We haven't tested too many features. The mailboxes and the site mount correctly, so, we can retrieve data from it. It's rather simple. Thus far, that's the best feature.

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. It would be helpful if you could at least go inside the mailboxes to choose what you want. 

The same is true for SharePoint. For example, if I have Sharepoint with many other folders in it, if I want to remove one of the folders, I need to remove the site completely first. That's a bit hectic. I have to remove the site completely and then go ahead and then re-add it afterward without the photos I don't want. If you could just go ahead and edit these sites, that would be great. 

Granularity should be implemented in backup for both SharePoint and Mailboxes. 

The stability is good.

I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites.

We haven't had to contact technical support. We have managed to correct all of the errors we've encountered so far. There haven't been any issues with the software; it was mainly with other things like Microsoft 365 and the sites. We've had no issues with the software itself.

We didn't previously use another solution.

The initial setup was rather simple. 

Deployment was done in one day, however, we had to do the backups for each mailbox. These took time. Those backups took more than a month because of the size of the mailboxes. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance.

We handled the deployment ourselves.

We are a consultancy and we also handle implementation and support.

We use an on-premises deployment model.

For those considering implementing the solution, I would say to just go for it. We really like it. We are a Veeam consumer, so we use Veeam for our data center backup ourselves and offer it to our clients as well.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

The use case differs from customer to customer.

It’s amazing how the solution helps restore old data.

The solution needs to introduce more features. The basic features are not enough.

I have been using the solution for six years.

The product’s stability is good.

I rate the scalability a nine out of ten.

The technical support is good.

The initial setup is easy.

The solution is not expensive.

I have my own data center. I don't implement it in Azure. I might recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

Our customers primarily use the solution as a backup for on-premises because they have nothing on the cloud. They want to be sure that they have the data backed up at least on their side. Before that, the exchange server was on-site and on-premises. The clients put it all in Office 365 and now they want to have a backup on-premises.

The solution is easy to use. It's very simple and clients find it very easy to find all objects and things they need with the Veeam Explorer. The solution is very simple in terms of backing up objects as well. With Veeam, a lot of features are built-in, as opposed to some competitors, such as Avamar. It's also easier to use than Avamar if you were to compare them.

The solution announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go.

The solution is very stable.

Scalability is good. It's very simple.

The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment takes about a half-day. If I was a customer who bought a Data Domain, a physical appliance, and Veeam virtual, it would take one day to have the Data Domain up and then to add Veeam. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance.

We help clients with the implementation.

We are a Veeam partner. We handle the on-premises deployment model.

If you are a company that needs simple virtualizations and if you don't have very complex applications, I would recommend the solution.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten. It's not quite suitable for complex systems. If you have, for example, a CSS share, you can't backup using Veeam.
