Serves as a backup repository and storage solution and easy to setup
It was for backup and storage. So, our primary use case was backup repository and storage The most valuable feature was the repository. I would say the backup but we need to pay for the new license. There is room for improvement in the pricing. This is the issue, the reason why we started using…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature was the repository."
"I like the tool's reliability. Its price is also cheap, and it gets delivered in two days."
"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."
"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"It is easy to use and easy to recover files."
"For data security, we rely on Veeam Backup for Teams and it is quite effective."
"It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast."
 

Cons

"Boxafe's pricing policy should be more flexible."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. This is the issue, the reason why we started using Synology."
"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. That's it. It would be helpful if you could at least go inside the mailboxes to choose what you want."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."
"Currently, I'm working for Huawei and they dropped the support for Huawei, so that's an issue for us."
"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."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by adding more features with Microsoft teams. We have many files that we are working on with Microsoft teams and there should be more integration and features."
"Veaam Backup can be confusing for customers when they start trying to understand how to use the product in multiple environments."
"It needs to be able to integrate with other emailing systems, like Linux."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."

"I have a per-user license for the number of users and the mailboxes that I have."
"The solution is not expensive."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
