Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 Reviews

We use the solution primarily to protect data. 

We were not aware of the fact that Microsoft was not engaged, could not be, or we were not aware of the fact that it was not possible to engage the responsibility of Microsoft in case we lose or face corrupt data. We thought Microsoft was in charge of all the security and the workload protection. Since we have learned we are not fully protected, and after hearing of some bad experiences from friends, we started using this solution to protect our data and to be sure that no matter what happens, we can get our data from Office 365, and especially, Teams.

In the past, when someone was leaving the company, it was really difficult to keep his data without decommissioning the license allotted to this employee. Today, we can reuse the license. We are assured that the data is already safe.

With Veeam Backup for Office 365, it is possible to save an employee's mailbox and decommission the license to reuse it for another person without losing the data.

The most valuable feature is flexibility. It offers good retention of policy features. We have a lot of flexibility in terms of scheduling or setting our data retention policy. We can retain our data at our convenience, which is really useful.

It is very easy to set up the solution. 

The solution is very scalable.

The solution is stable.

It has a good help center.

The integration and the coverage of all the features related to the protection of Teams could be improved. With this solution, not all the elements of Teams are protected. You have all the data, however, since Teams interacts with many other pieces of software on the Office package, it's sometimes a bit complicated to recover all the functions simultaneously. For sure, you have the data, yet not all the functions. When you recover Teams, you have to, let's say, set some other settings manually. It would be really interesting to have all the processes automated since it's so time-consuming to do it manually.

I've used the solution for just under two years. I've used it for about 19 months so far. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. 

It is a scalable solution. 

The process of adding more users to extend your license is really easy. They're really reactive.

We have about 1,000 people on the solution right now.

Technical support is really helpful and responsive. The only downside is sometimes it takes a bit of time when we need keys changed. 

Neutral

I have not previously used a different solution. 

The product is very straightforward and simple to set up. You do not even need to be an expert to set it up. While the design is another story, the installation is really easy.

How long it takes to deploy depends on your existing architecture. It depends on how you want to integrate the product. If you are in a company with, let's say, 100 users, it could take you one hour to put it in place, without the time consumed by the design, as the most important part of the deployment is the design. It is the phase that takes a lot of time. That said, setting it up is very easy as soon as everything has been designed.

We did not need the help of any third party. 

The local teams did it. However, we have leveraged the knowledge base part of Veeam, called the help center. They have a lot of information there, which was really useful for us.

We have seen an ROI. We have been saved from incidents by this solution many times. We've avoided corruption of data, and we are not losing time thinking about how data could be protected. It's agile and we are protected well. 

We pay for licensing every year. The license is purchased for a specific number of users. You can have a license for one year or many years - up to five years, for example. 

We are a partner and customer.

We are not using the latest version of the solution. We haven't yet done the latest update. 

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations. 

This solution brought us a lot of flexibility on how we can manage and care about our data, as far as Office 365 is concerned.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use this product to back up our Office 365 files, such as those in Exchange, OneDrive, and SharePoint.

The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts.

The price could be reduced to make it more competitive.

We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups.

I have been working with the Veeam Backup for Office 365 for six months.

This is a stable backup product.

It is scalable when we are doing the initial full backup. We can scale horizontally as we need to.

I have not had any issues that necessitated calling technical support.

The initial setup is easy.

It is not the cheapest solution in the market.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution to backup our Office 365.

Overall, the solution is okay.

The way the system is built is very good.

The product offers good stability.

The solution is scalable.

We've found the technical support to be helpful.

The pricing of the solution is very reasonable. It's not expensive.

It's hard to predict the usage on the storage. I need to make some estimates for customers in terms of how much storage will be needed on the cloud, and this is always tricky. It would be helpful if they could help us estimate storage or simplify the estimation portion.

They could work on their SaaS model to make it a bit more appealing.

While the company has always engaged with Veeam, I've just become familiar with the solution over the last two months.

The solution is quite stable. We don't have issues with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's excellent.

The solution is scalable. You can expand it out if you need to. It's not a problem.

Currently, in our company, we have about 200 users on the solution. We do plan to increase usage. However, it will depend on the requirements of the organization.

We've dealt with technical support in the past. Typically, we've had good outcomes. We're pretty satisfied with their level of support. They are knowledgeable and responsive.

I'm not an engineer. I didn't really handle the initial setup. I can't really speak to if the implementation is straightforward or complex. I'm not sure how long the deployment takes either. I wasn't hands-on in that respect. That said, it's my understanding that, overall, it should be pretty simple to execute.

The pricing of the solution is reasonable. It's not too expensive.

I'm not a user. I'm a solution provider.

We'd recommend the solution to other organizations. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I'd rate it at an eight.

We use this solution to backup our database of Office 365 users' information.

One of the valuable features is the ability to restore a specific email. For example, if a user has deleted an email and they would like that particular email back we are able to restore it.

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.

In an upcoming release, there should be backup support for other email providers, such as Gmail.

I have been using this solution within the last 12 months.

The solution is stable, we have had no problems.

We have approximately 50 users using this solution.

The initial setup was straightforward.

There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution.

We will be evaluating whether we will continue using this solution in the future because it is not practical to keep it when it does not do the backups of all our users' information requiring us to have two solutions.

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

The primary use case is to keep emails for longer retention time.

The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive.

The license pricing can be reduced.

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

It's a stable product and we have not had any issues.

Veeam Backup for Office 365 is scalable. We have 50 users in our company and we have plans to continue using it.

Technical support is okay. They are the same as other technical support systems all over the world where you go to level one to speak with technical support.

Previously, I did not use another product.

The initial setup and installation were straightforward.

It only took 10 to 15 minutes to deploy.

We did not use a vendor, retailer, or consultant. The implementation was done by myself.

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

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in implementation.

It's a good solution with good email capacity, and it's easy to use.

I would rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 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.

The most valuable aspect of Veeam is its stability.

Veeam's performance is inconsistent. 

We've been selling Veeam Backup for Office 365 for two years.

Veeam support is good.

Installing Veeam is pretty straightforward.

The license is monthly.

I rate Veeam for Office 365 seven out of 10. I would recommend it to others.
