Ensures data protection and supports SAP consistency while reducing costs
Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering. It serves as a reliable solution for backup and reporting capabilities about the health of the backups. Even though I am not utilizing all tools and options, it meets my comprehensive requirements and allows backup of emails as well, making it a versatile tool.

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

"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud’s most valuable feature is data backup and replication."
"The application backup is excellent, and using Veeam for backing up Kubernetes environments is a valuable tool."
"I find Veeam to be a good tool for backing up Office 365 and virtual machine environments."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering."
"I recommend it to other companies due to its reliable solutions, significant cost reductions, and comprehensive functionality."
"Dealing with cloud solutions is simple and removes many headaches from troubleshooting and implementing the solution."
"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 features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the data backup functionality."
"It works well for our backup needs, and I would recommend it for Microsoft 365 due to its reliability."
"Its absolute functionality and intuitiveness are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
 

Cons

"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
"I do not have notes for improvements."
"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."
"The solution needs to introduce more features."
"If one administrator wants to delete something in 365, another admin must approve it."
"They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
"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."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is affordable."
"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."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"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."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
