Backup and recovery options integrate smoothly while affordability remains a challenge

My relationship with Veeam is that I am a reseller and system integrator. The support for both cloud-based and on-premises infrastructure from Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 impacts my data protection strategy because that's the reason we are using Veeam. Veeam is a platform that supports both on-prem and cloud. It's a single pane of glass that we can support both, which is one of the good reasons we are using Veeam. The key benefits my organization has experienced with Veeam's integration of SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, and Teams within its data protection framework are that single licensing is one of the things customers prefer to use because it's very easy for them to manage. I would rate Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 overall an eight on a scale from 1 to 10.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance

One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to use. It's very simple and clients find it very easy to find all objects and things they need with the Veeam Explorer."

"The most valuable feature is the data backup functionality."

"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."

"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 solution helps reduce our workload."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the WAN accelerator. This feature allows for large amounts of data from one location to another. If the bandwidth in the environment is slow it makes the transfer slow but the WAN accelerator feature helps speed the transfer."

"Veeam is affordable and end-to-end configuration is straightforward, whether you're going from source to destination or vice versa. Retrieval is also easy."

"The scalability of Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is very good."

More Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 pros

"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."

"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."

"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."

"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."

"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."

"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."

"The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore."

"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."

Cons

"You can't really edit. For example, if you have created a backup for a user, you can't drill down on a granular level during the backup. You have to back up the mailbox completely. That's it. It would be helpful if you could at least go inside the mailboxes to choose what you want."

"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."

"Its price could be improved."

"A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system."

"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."

"If it could rebuild the data without pulling down the entire chunk, it would be an improvement."

"One major drawback is that Veeam doesn't support migrating data once it's stored in object storage like S3."

"We tried to use Veeam for our DRP. It was complicated to use and did not help us with our DRP needs due to our internet connectivity at that time."

More Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 cons

"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."

"Technical support can be improved."

"The technical team wasn't very helpful."

"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."

"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."

"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."

"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

"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."

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

"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."

"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."

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

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

"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a subscription-based solution."

"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."

More Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 pricing and cost advice

"The program is quite expensive."

"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."

"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."

"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
