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…

Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable

We primarily use the solution as a cloud-backed application machine for storage-related tasks. The connection to the cloud is very useful for clients. It offers very good backup capabilities. You can use it on-premises or on the cloud. It hasn't given us any issues so far. It's stable. The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."

"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"

"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."

"The most valuable aspect of Veeam is its stability."

"The installation process is very easy."

"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."

"The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent."

"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."

More Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 pros

"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."

"The deployment is quite simple. Users are generally happy because of the familiarity they have with the features. The solution offers good transparency for the end-user."

"A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company."

"Replication without network changes."

"The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."

"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."

"It's a stable solution."

"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."

Cons

"Currently, I'm working for Huawei and they dropped the support for Huawei, so that's an issue for us."

"The solution needs to introduce more features."

"They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release."

"They don't have native integration with deduplication of storage."

"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."

"In some instances, a customer is not necessarily backing up Microsoft 365. For instance, they might be backing up a large Oracle database. It would be nice if they could tweak it to compress the file, so it's easier to transfer a huge file."

"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."

"If clients are backing up onto tape, Veeam's newest versions don't really deal with that."

More Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 cons

"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."

"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."

"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."

"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."

"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."

"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."

"I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases."

"The solution could improve the stability."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."

"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."

"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."

"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."

"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 licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."

"The cost is a bit on the high side."

"We have 2000 users and pay about $10,000. It may be a little bit more per year. We have an education institute and may have fewer expenses."

More Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 pricing and cost advice

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
