SanjayMishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight, easy to install and configure, and it does its job automatically
One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console. Currently, Druva can manage only one Office 365 tenant per console. As a customer, I should be able to manage all Office 365 tenants from a single console. This is one product feature I am looking for.
MehmetAksoy - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable rollback features for smooth IT operations and an easy setup
We are using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to take backups of shop floor PCs. I use it for clients locally, particularly for critical machines. It is also used globally for server-side backups and includes scheduling features like taking ten backups every Sunday when the factory is closed. This…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"Druva inSync is very easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features is it is available on the cloud, so I do not need to make a firewall. Second, the backup speed is outstanding. The third thing is that the section policy is very good and gives you a lot of flexibility and granularity regarding what you need to back up."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"It has got all the features. You can restore a mailbox based on an email or a calendar or based on all the emails. A user can also get access to restore the mailbox."
"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 most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is its performance. Additionally, the user interface and documentation are easy to use and navigate."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."
"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."
"The setup is very simple. It takes 15 minutes."
"It is very simple to set up."
"For data security, we rely on Veeam Backup for Teams and it is quite effective."
 

Cons

"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"The speed could be better."
"If I could have an accelerator or something to back up the solution on the cloud, that would be helpful. Also, it would be helpful if the accelerator could give me a buffer of a couple of days for any kind of immediate recovery on an offsite."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"I would like Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to increase the speed to reduce the backup time."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
"A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system."
"Currently, I'm working for Huawei and they dropped the support for Huawei, so that's an issue for us."
"They don't have native integration with deduplication of storage."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"The pricing is good."
"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 pricing is expensive."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
"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."
"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."
"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."
