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

"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 setup is very simple. It takes 15 minutes."
"The most critical feature of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is its ability to back up and protect data on cloud services."
"The way it backs up personal files is great."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is its performance. Additionally, the user interface and documentation are easy to use and navigate."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"It was easy to set up."
"We have backups for Microsoft 365 because it is in the account of the complete tenant compromise. If we lose access to a tenant or all of the client's data gets Microsoft 365, and they lose access to all of their emails, OneDrive, and Teams data, then at least we have an off-site copy that is not linked to their Microsoft side of things."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"It's a new product. It's not mature."
"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to implement a mechanism that allows for more efficient input processing, such as recognizing the first capital letter of an email account."
"One area that needs improvement is the pricing of Veeam Backup, as it can be expensive at $28 per user for one year."
"They could include WAN acceleration to compress the traffic to make things faster."
"We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"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."
"The solution is not expensive."
"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."
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The program is quite expensive."
