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

"The user-friendly interface of CloudAlly significantly enhances data protection."
"CloudAlly provides a unique solution for every major email application."
"With this solution, its remarkable to see that ease of use means ease of use."
"The most valuable aspect of Veeam is its stability."
"It's user-friendly, especially for taking incremental backups."
"It is easy to set up. You can use some functions to make sure you get the maximum bandwidth to do the backup. It has an option to bypass Microsoft network limitations and things like that."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Once you set it up, it works very well. You do not have to go back to reconfigure it– it is very easy to use"
"I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in implementation, as it is a good solution with good email capacity and is easy to use."
"The scalability is good."
"The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive."
 

Cons

"CloudAlly can improve in the areas of reporting, especially regarding backup statistics and backup failures presented in pie graphs and charts."
"It would be beneficial to implement a mechanism that allows for more efficient input processing, such as recognizing the first capital letter of an email account."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution."

"With Veeam for Office 365 for companies that require long-term retention, they often complain about the capacity storage it might take."
"Technical support could be improved."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
"The solution is costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Veaam Backup is licensed per mailbox, which customers like because it's per user and so they don't have to pay for shared mailboxes."
"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"I have a per-user license for the number of users and the mailboxes that I have."
