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.

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

"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."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Teams environment."

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

"The installation process is very easy."

More Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 pros

"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

"Its price could be improved."

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

"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."

"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."
