Using the app is straightforward with easy buttons to click on.
Customer Service: We didn't contact their customer service at any point because the backup and recovery process is pretty straightforward. But they have a customer support email and phone just in case. Technical Support: CloudAlly can be used by a non-techie person because it's simple. We didn't contact the technical support, but it's available for any user who may encounter a problem.

Backup has protected our office data and now restores individual emails while admins configure settings
Although Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a Backup as a Service, it should give slight leverage to the admins to do more of their own configurations. When it comes to Software as a Service, we do need to agree on certain things, as we do not have much control over the software. If Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 can improve, it would be better. It could be slightly better, but it is acceptable. As long as support is provided in a timely manner, it is good. I cannot tell it is fully bad or fully good. If I were to give a rating of one to five, I might give 3.5 to four. Rather than giving a help database, which is an ocean of information to search through ourselves, we should be able to open a ticket and have them guide us on how to do it. As an end-user, different levels of admins exist—a fresh admin and a more experienced admin. They need to encourage us to open a ticket quickly, and from there they should guide us straightforwardly with the steps to follow to achieve the desired outcome.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CloudAlly provides a unique solution for every major email application."
"The user-friendly interface of CloudAlly significantly enhances data protection."
"With this solution, its remarkable to see that ease of use means ease of use."
"Definitely an impressive ROI because the app is inexpensive and saves us time, headaches plus slow computer devices that could be jammed with huge data."
"The tool is easy to use and straightforward regarding restoration and creating backups. It's user-friendly, providing results and sending alerts when something goes wrong."
"It is a perfect, mature product."
"Veeam does not really have competition in the Office 365 Backup space, which made the decision a slam dunk for me because it was the one product that solved the issue and it works."
"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with ten being easy."
"Overall, the solution is okay, the way the system is built is very good, the product offers good stability, the solution is scalable, we have found the technical support to be helpful, and the pricing of the solution is very reasonable and not expensive."
"The solution does good backups."
"Veaam Backup has recently added MS Teams to the programs they cover, which was a big improvement."
 

Cons

"CloudAlly can improve in the areas of reporting, especially regarding backup statistics and backup failures presented in pie graphs and charts."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by reducing the time it takes for backups. I have mentioned this to Veeam and hopefully, in the next version, it will be a faster backup."
"They could include WAN acceleration to compress the traffic to make things faster."
"One major drawback is that Veeam doesn't support migrating data once it's stored in object storage like S3."
"We have some issues with backing up the on-premises infrastructure, but that is something we will resolve with their technical department and customer support."
"Technical support could be improved."
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
"When you are working in the Cloud security is very important."
"The price could be reduced to make it more competitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
"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."
"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"We decided on Altaro because, from the point of view of the total cost, Altaro looks cheaper than Veeam. Veeam has a lot of costs that are not clear when you start it, which makes it less flexible than Altaro, but only after half a year, you can be really sure that you made a good decision."
