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."
"I appreciate that Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 allows me to back up on both local storage and cloud storage, providing two options for data restoration."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"The solution is stable."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"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."
"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."
"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"
"It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast."
 

Cons

"CloudAlly can improve in the areas of reporting, especially regarding backup statistics and backup failures presented in pie graphs and charts."
"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."
"We attempted to use it for our DRP, however, we found it too expensive and complex, so we decided to use it just for backup."
"It's hard to predict the usage on the storage. I need to make some estimates for customers in terms of how much storage will be needed on the cloud, and this is always tricky. It would be helpful if they could help us estimate storage or simplify the estimation portion."
"While Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is a highly convenient product, there is room for improvement in its integration with Microsoft 365."
"They should include some more options to send alerts in existing monitoring software."
"One area that needs improvement is the pricing of Veeam Backup, as it can be expensive at $28 per user for one year."
"If you use a device to back up with compression and duplication, the solution doesn't work."
"We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups."
