Good backup retention but it is not a reliable platform and it doesn't giving any sort of alerts that things are not working

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The backup retention was pretty good. Being able to archive users who had been backed up, is a good functionality. Even if they've been deactivated it'll keep the backups and keep them protected."
"The product is easy-to-use."
"Veeam is affordable and end-to-end configuration is straightforward, whether you're going from source to destination or vice versa. Retrieval is also easy."
"This is an easy-to-install easy-to-use solution for backing up Office 365 email."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Teams environment."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"The solution is stable."
"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with M365. Its GUI is intuitive and not bad. The granular recovery options for VMs have been useful, though not as crucial as Office 365 integration, which is why we use it. Granular recovery depends on the specific problems our customers face."
 

Cons

"StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around one to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"They could include WAN acceleration to compress the traffic to make things faster."
"They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance."
"I'm very satisfied with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and would continue using it if it were up to me. However, my management is considering alternative solutions due to issues with our storage solutions."
"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."
"The solution is costly."
"While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use."
