Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a very straightforward product that is well integrated with everything."
"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
"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."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to restore a specific email. For example, if a user has deleted an email and they would like that particular email back we are able to restore it."
"Its absolute functionality and intuitiveness are the most valuable features."
"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."
"The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent."
"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 have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see better prices for the licenses."
"Veeam is quite expensive."
"Microsoft currently saves only two months of conversation history, and it would be better if Veeam could focus on backing up more than two months of conversation data."
"It's a new product. It's not mature."
"It needs to be able to integrate with other emailing systems, like Linux."
"We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower."
"They should include some more options to send alerts in existing monitoring software."
"If one administrator wants to delete something in 365, another admin must approve it."
"Pricing could be more affordable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a perpetual license."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"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 think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a subscription-based solution."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
