Carbonite Server vs Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 comparison

"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."

"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."

"The solution is very stable."

"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."

"The Granular Restore of SQL feature has been a lifesaver more times than I can count. One of the main reasons for looking at Carbonite was their support for platforms like AIX and AS/400 Series."

"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."

"It seems reliable and easy to use."

"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."

"Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."

"We have backups for Microsoft 365 because it is in the account of the complete tenant compromise. If we lose access to a tenant or all of the client's data gets Microsoft 365, and they lose access to all of their emails, OneDrive, and Teams data, then at least we have an off-site copy that is not linked to their Microsoft side of things."

"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."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises."

"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."

"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 Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."

"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."

"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."

"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."

"The stability has room for improvement."

"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."

"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."

"Veeam is quite expensive."

"I would like Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to increase the speed to reduce the backup time."

"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."

"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."

"If Veeam could offer backup as a service for data backup and recovery, that would be great. We'd like something like what Druva is offering at the moment."

"The license pricing can be reduced."

"Veaam Backup can be confusing for customers when they start trying to understand how to use the product in multiple environments."

"They should improve the backup and restoration time."

"Its price is reasonable."

"We pay 9,000 dollars per year for our license."

"The solution is open source."

"The pricing is between $120 and $150 per year."

"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

"We looked at a few cloud options. When we did the comparison, we found it to be a cost-effective solution, and it included everything."

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

"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."

"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."

"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."

"From our perspective in South Africa, our biggest challenge is the exchange rate from the South African currency to the US dollar. This makes it a bit pricey for us. However, compared to other backup solutions available, I would rate the pricing at a nine out of ten. For the servers, features, and functionality you get, it's worth the money. Of course, we'd always prefer things to be cheaper, but we also understand that you have to pay for proper functionality. So overall, it's not badly priced at all."

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