Helps reduce costs, saves staff time, and is flexible

Using Veritas Alta Data to copy data from on-premises to the cloud is easy. Veritas Alta Data is a premium product that requires minimal knowledge to use. It is flexible and can be used on Windows or Linux. With basic knowledge, we can implement the solution without any problems. Alta Data's immutable storage protects our data from ransomware by making it unchangeable and recoverable. Alta Data helps provide data protection across multiple cloud environments. The integration is smooth, so we can integrate between AWS, GCP, and Azure to move duplicate data to other locations. The anomaly detection extension is available in the 10.1 release and can be used for VMware backups. In a future release, it will be available for other workloads. With the addition of ransomware and anomaly detection to Veritas Alta Data, our clients are more comfortable knowing their data is safe. Alta Data is a premium product that requires minimal knowledge to get started. Alta Data frees up our staff time because they need to check the system in the morning, and if there are any backup issues, the longest it takes to resolve them is two hours. Alta Data helps reduce costs by freeing staff time to focus on other projects, saving the organization valuable resources.

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 Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."

"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."

"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"

"It’s amazing how the solution helps restore old data."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the ease of use. You only need to create a folder in your drive and it's as simple as dragging and dropping files to store them."

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

"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is reliable and easy to use."

"The solution is stable."

More Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 pros

"The ransomware protection feature and anomaly detection are the most valuable, and the ability to integrate new cloud workloads is also valuable."

"It is rather easy to replicate data across your cloud environment using this solution once you've done it a few times."

"The solution is very easy to use."

Cons

"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."

"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 announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go."

"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."

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

"Veeam's performance is inconsistent."

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

"The license pricing can be reduced."

More Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 cons

"Maybe a year and a half ago, during a backup, I had an updating issue with Java."

"NetBackup should be made more user-friendly, and a video tutorial should be created to help new users understand how to configure and use the solution properly."

"It would be nice if reporting was a bit easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."

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

"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."

"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."

"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."

"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."

"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."

"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."

"NetBackup is 20 percent more expensive compared to the competition."
