Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data application is working well, and it does manage to match data when using the data option."
"In terms of data recovery, both the performance and reliability have been excellent."
"It is very simple to set up."
"Veeam makes modular solutions, so you can install Veeam Backup for Office 365 and Veeam Backup and Replication in one single server. You can do an all in one installation, and roll it out."
"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."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality."
"The product offers good stability."
"The solution provides good backup services for Microsoft 365."
"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."
 

Cons

"They should include the capability to back up on-premises environments."
"There are limitations with new hardware where it does not support failover and does not support the three-star bank group."
"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"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 would like Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to increase the speed to reduce the backup time."
"The installation could always be a little bit easier. You do need to be a bit technical."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"One area that needs improvement is the pricing of Veeam Backup, as it can be expensive at $28 per user for one year."
"They could include WAN acceleration to compress the traffic to make things faster."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The SaaS platform offers many benefits; the licensing structure is suitable for monitoring and controlling users' storage space."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"The cost of Veeam Backup is $28 per user for one year."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
