Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Reviews

It is mostly used for PST from Outlook and OneDrive. It is a good solution, and we don't have any issues with any customers.

The solution provided a good recovery point for our customers. The solution is user-friendly, and we don't have any issues. We were able to recover anything we wanted because it was not compromised.

The solution's integration and exchange with email-related things are very, very powerful. The solution is also easy to manage and work with.

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

We have been selling Veeam Backup for Office 365 for six to eight years.

The solution is very stable. I don't have any issue with it.

I rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 a ten out of ten for scalability. It is good for the purposes that we use it for.

In my organization, 100 people are using the solution, and we do not have plans to increase the usage.

Since the stability of the solution is very good, we don't have any issues to report. I don't have a lot of experience with the support team, but I think they are good.

The initial setup for Veeam Backup for Office 365 was easy and not complex at all.

We have had an ROI with this solution.

The solution is very, very, very, cheap. It is a good solution, and its price is not bad.

I am using the latest version of Veeam Backup for Office 365.

I would suggest buying this solution if it fits everything the users need because some suite products, like Project Server, are not available for everyone.

Overall, I rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 a nine out of ten.

The Veeam Backup solution is very good for big enterprises and complex infrastructures. The main reason we are using Veeam is for end users.

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.

I have been working with Veeam Backup for Office 365 for a couple of years.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten.

Veeam has a great tech support team.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward and does not take long.

We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower.

I would rate it a ten out of ten.

The solution is used to backup customers' Office 365 data. It is not really an MSP product. It's on-premise. In order for you to comply with GDPR, if you are an MSP, the only reason to really do that is if you set it up in your own environment and on virtual machines and you literally have to lock yourself out of that machine and give the customer full access to it.

The other thing is, to comply with GDPR and with Veeam for Office 365, is the backups need to be encrypted. There's no encryption. What we did was we basically encrypted the hard drives that come from Bitlocker and only then did we get compliant with GDPR. That part was quite tricky. 

It works well if you are not in Europe. It's great if you are not an MSP.

The pricing is reasonable.

Technical support is great.

You cannot back up to a network share, you cannot back it up directly to the cloud location. To fix issues is quite tough with it.

I asked them before, not even long ago, "Okay, so can we back up now to a duplication?" and they still said, "No, still only to a local drive." Having it back up to more than a local drive would be ideal.

They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details. When you need to restore, you could then just pick the credentials from a saved credential that you do not have to manually enter. 

If there's a virtual machine or a machine that's extra storage, the potential that somebody else can log into your infrastructure and could potentially be malicious and destroy your entire infrastructure is very high. There's just a whole list of it. For that reason, if you're an MSP, stay away.

The reporting needs to be better.

I've used the solution from the time it was launched.

Sometimes the services crash and we just have to go in there. The problem is the reporting. Since it does not link to the lead service provider console, you do not know what is going on. So you have to literally monitor the thing manually. There's no real reporting of the actual machine, and since it has to be deployed on the physical machine, that's your limitation. 

It is not really scalable. It's only Windows-compliant. You cannot install it on anything else. 

We have about 50 virtual machines. We're actually running at a loss.

The support for it is good. They basically do what they need to do. They are very quick to help.

Neutral

Initially, the setup is straightforward. However, once compliance is in play, it gets complex. 

The initial deployment was quite quick. We just basically installed it. It takes about an hour or so, and that's very quick for backup notification. The actual configuration was initially quite quick, so you can set it up very quickly. 

If you do not need to comply with GDPR, you are fine. The minute you start to comply with GDPR, it becomes very complex, and there are a lot of extra tweaks and stuff that you need to do in order to do that.

To set it up, you just install it on a machine and add your Office 365 admin credentials. Then you get a list of what you want. You just pick the accounts that you want to protect and click next and select your backup application which has to be a physical volume. It starts backing up, eventually.

The licensing of it is quite cost-effective. However, if you need to comply with GDPR, for you as an MSP, it can become quite expensive since you literally have to give the customer some of your infrastructure to do that.

Currently, everything is moved to VMware licensing, which is month to month.

If you are not staying in Europe and you want to use it, that's awesome, go for it. If you are an MSP, don't use it.

I'd advise, if you're an MSP, don't use it. It's only going to give you headaches. That said, if you are not an MSP and you have a direct client, this will be a great tool for you to basically download or make a copy of your 365 environments. The cost is not too bad. Just make sure that the virtual machine has got enough space - probably double the amount of space that your current Office 365 environment is taking up - to make space for you to have incremental space. Otherwise, you'll have a bit of a problem.

Considering its limitations, including local backups, not really good reporting, and no encryption, I would rate the product at around a four out of ten.

Veeam provides cloud backups. These days, most people want to back things up on the cloud. All the work saved on various office workstations and file servers is backed up on the cloud.

Clients get peace of mind knowing their data is backed up somewhere else outside their office. If something goes wrong, they can retrieve their data and keep going. Their business operations aren't affected.

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.

In some instances, a customer is not necessarily backing up Microsoft 365. For instance, they might be backing up a large Oracle database. It would be nice if they could tweak it to compress the file, so it's easier to transfer a huge file. 

We have used Veeam for two years.

I rate Veeam eight out of 10 for stability.

Veeam is scalable. If you have 20 users and you want to scale to 50 or 100, you only need to request it.

I rate Veeam eight out of 10 for ease of setup. Setting up Veeam is straightforward because it's a cloud-based solution. When I did AWS Cloud backup for my personal laptop three or four years ago, someone walked me through it over the phone. phone, some two, three years ago, four years ago. It is simple for someone with IT skills.

The time needed to deploy depends on the organization's size and the amount of data being backed up. It typically takes between two weeks and a month for a medium-sized or large project.

Veeam is more affordable than Veritas and Commvault. They might be the most affordable solution in this market, and it's also the best-known product for backup.

I rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 eight out of 10. I recommend using Veeam if you care about your data. It's a good product if you want to do on-prem or cloud backup.

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

The initial setup of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is straightforward.

Pricing is an area for improvement, and I would rate it at five out of ten.

Overall, I would rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 at nine on a scale from one to ten.

Our primary use case is the backup of our education-related files and data.

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

The environment mainly consists of PCs, although we have students and a few teachers that use Apple computers. Sometimes, we have compatibility issues related to this and the problems can take a long time to solve. Faster response time to complaints that we have had would be of great appreciation.

When you work with these cloud-based systems, the response time could be better. I never take anything for granted. When people complain about something, I always check in three different settings with different internet connections and different locations. I find that when it comes to Office, the response time could be improved quite a bit.

Some additional training materials would be helpful.

We have been using Veeam Backup for Office 365 for a couple of years.

This product is very stable. It's not perfect because all computers have a tendency to break down at one point or another.

This system is pretty scalable. I find it good because you can start with a package that is not very big, and then just add to it as much as you like. Also, you can remove things that you don't like or don't need.

I find that technical support can be improved because for people who are knowledgeable, it is good, whereas for people who are not, the support is too technical.

Our staff is made up of rather strong individuals with personal opinions about software, so we've tried to focus on fewer solutions with the widest application.

For the past six months, Microsoft Teams has been of the biggest importance for us, both in terms of teaching and meetings. Our meetings include both in-house and outside. Office 365 is one of the things that is connected to that, and our files need to be backed up regularly.

This is definitely a product that I can recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case for this solution is to back up and restore from the cloud to on-premises.

The feature that helps keep data in the email and OneDrive is valuable.

When working with this solution, doing backups on-premises to the traditional storage is done with no compression and duplication. So if you use a device to back up with compression and duplication, the solution doesn't work. Hence, this is an improvement that can be made. Additionally, the console management system can be improved.

We have been using the solution for 14 years and are currently using the Enterprise Plus version.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

The customer service and support team are good. I rate them a nine out of ten.

Positive

I cannot comment on the initial setup complexity because a different department handled it. One engineer is required for implementation.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution is good, but the console management can be improved, and the new feature could include compression and duplication features. I advise new users to ensure they have a lot of space before using the solution because it's not optimized with compression and duplication features.

We are using Veeam for our customers. It's used for backups and disaster recovery.

It works well. It's very good for backups.

The solution is stable and reliable. 

It's easy to deploy.

At this moment, I don't have any downsides to note. 

Veeam is quite expensive. Often, clients are looking for a less expensive option. 

We've been dealing with the solution for three or four years. 

The solution is stable. It's reliable, and the performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. I'd rate it five out of five in terms of stability. 

I don't have too much information in regard to scaling. 

We've dealt with support in the past. They are helpful and responsive. 

Positive

I did not participate in the initial setup of the product. We have a separate team that handles deployment. That said, my understanding is that it is a simple setup.

Five to six people tend to handle the deployment process. We might have as many as ten people in our organization that can handle the requisite tasks. 

One of our teams handles the deployment process. 

We haven't calculated ROI for our clients.

They have newer Pulse licensing that is better. However, our clients do look at the pricing and feel it is too high. The licenses are paid every three years. 

I have compared Veeam to other products, and I found it to be more stable and reliable. 

We are service providers and a Veeam partner. 

We're using the latest version of the solution.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
