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

"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"All the data is well encrypted. In addition, the data is split into pieces so that if an endpoint is attacked or compromised with any kind of ransomware, the compromised machine can be relocated or restored. All the data that was previously backed up can be restored from the cloud. It has a lot of security features. Druva currently offers only the cloud version on AWS. Being a cloud solution, Druva goes by a lot of security compliances and provides a security portfolio. People are very skeptical of the data security in cloud solutions, and Druva has given consideration to that. It has some good geo-location features. If a machine is lost, when the machine is switched on and connected to the internet, that machine can be geo-located and tracked. It also has got the geo-wipeout feature. If someone tries to take out the data from a lost machine, they won't be able to do that. The moment an IT admin comes to know that the machine is no longer with a user, he or she can auto-run the geo-wipeout feature so that the data cannot be read by any third party. Duality replication is a unique thing about this solution. Everybody's data is not backed up if the data is common. Similar data is not backed up from other machines. The data backup also happens very smoothly. The bandwidth choking is very less. When the data is getting backed up, the users do not even get to know. There is no impact even when the users are not using high-speed bandwidth."
"It's incredibly fast."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"The tool has good features. The backup is also accurate."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 are its intuitive interface, ease of use, and unlimited capacity for backup and restore."
"The most valuable aspect of Veeam is its stability."
"Technical support in Veeam is good."
"It is easy to use and easy to recover files."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"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."
"The tool is easy to use and straightforward regarding restoration and creating backups. It's user-friendly, providing results and sending alerts when something goes wrong."
 

Cons

"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"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 current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"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 one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by adding more features with Microsoft teams. We have many files that we are working on with Microsoft teams and there should be more integration and features."
"Technical support could be improved."
"We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower."
"We tried to use Veeam for our DRP. It was complicated to use and did not help us with our DRP needs due to our internet connectivity at that time."
"They don't have native integration with deduplication of storage."
"One area that needs improvement is the pricing of Veeam Backup, as it can be expensive at $28 per user for one year."
"Veeam's performance is inconsistent."
"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"The pricing is good."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"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."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The cost of Veeam Backup is $28 per user for one year."
"The solution is not expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
