Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
"The solution's support team is excellent."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality."
"The installation process is very easy."
"The product offers good stability."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with ten being easy."
"Its absolute functionality and intuitiveness are the most valuable features."
"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"This covers the areas of backing up Office 365 that Microsoft does not include in its standard routine."
 

Cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
"Veeam's performance is inconsistent."
"Pricing could be more affordable."
"I'm very satisfied with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and would continue using it if it were up to me. However, my management is considering alternative solutions due to issues with our storage solutions."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"We have found that there is a limitation in this solution where it only takes the backup of users who are using Office 365 Enterprise email IDs. We have many users in management and approximately 50 other users who are using Office 365 of which Veeam is able to capture the backup. However, for the other users who are on the local email server at that time, the solution is not able to capture the backup."
"When using Veeam Backup for Office 365 when there is a server that's running, I have to have a hard drive installed on it. For example, if I want to use another storage solution, I can't incorporate it very well. If I want to use SMB or other protocols I cannot use them with the Veeam Backup for Office 365. They have the support in the other Veeam Backup and Restore solutions, but it doesn't support it in this solution. Hopefully, in the future, they figured it out."
"I would like Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to increase the speed to reduce the backup time."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."
"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a subscription-based solution."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"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."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
