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…

A stable solution with good duplication capabilities and fair pricing
The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement.  I've been using the solution for five years. The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any problems over the past five years of use. Scalability is fine. We keep adding different…

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 feature of this solution is the replication functionality."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Teams environment."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with M365. Its GUI is intuitive and not bad. The granular recovery options for VMs have been useful, though not as crucial as Office 365 integration, which is why we use it. Granular recovery depends on the specific problems our customers face."
"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 solution is stable and reliable."
"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"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 very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"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."
 

Cons

"When you add a new site for backup, it gives you a notice that there is a new site, but the way you select that and configure that could be slightly better. It works, but it is not always very clear. For example, for the URL, you need to hover over the title or the name of the site. You should see it immediately on the screen. It should have a better user interface for selecting what you want to back up so that you get a more clear overview of the sites that are there and the ones that you want to combine in a backup. Its user interface should be more user-friendly. It has a lot of scrolling and doesn't give you a complete overview when needed. That's the main thing why it is not very user-friendly. It should have a better user interface."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."
"While Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is a highly convenient product, there is room for improvement in its integration with Microsoft 365."
"They should include some more options to send alerts in existing monitoring software."
"The documentation for the installation is good. However, if you are new to the environment the installation could be difficult. The first time we did it it took approximately four days."
"We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower."
"They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance."
"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."
"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."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support can be improved."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"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."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

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