Easy to install and configure with a good management console
Pros and Cons
  • "The installation process is very easy."
  • "While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily install the solution for our clients. 

The solution is used for backup purposes, specifically for Office 365. By default, depending on how it is configured, it will back up every eight to ten days. Beyond that, if you need specific mail recovery or complete mail recovery, you can do that as well. 

What is most valuable?

Overall, it's a very good product.

The configuration is easy.

The installation process is very easy.

I have found the solution to be very stable. 

They offer a very good management console. With the dashboard, you can understand exactly what is going on in your infrastructure in relation to backup and recovery aspects. 

What needs improvement?

While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution. 

Integration with other products could be improved. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. There were previous issues, however, now the issues are sorted out. Now we can take the file backups, and NAS backups specifically. While streamlining or fine-tuning is still required, they're working on that. 

Its performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365

Learn what your peers think about Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: December 2024.
831,265 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have installed the solution for three or four customers.

How are customer service and support?

I've dealt with Veeam support in the past, not necessarily for this product. However, it's my understanding that the support would be the same for Veeam across all products and I don't have any complaints with their level of responsiveness or helpfulness. That said, they could always improve their level of service. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. You have to install the console and everything is there. It is just a console installation. There are only three or four clicks and you are done. However, everything goes on the cloud. That is how we have configured. 

It is not a huge task to configure O365. If you know how to do that particular thing, it's hardly a half-day's worth of work. In one instance, we had three, One storage and NetApp storage devices and 50 mailboxes, and two or three servers. That was the infrastructure. The deployment for that took half a day.

I can handle the deployment and maintenance aspects of the solution on my own. You only need one person.

What about the implementation team?

As integrators, we help our clients install the solution.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is subscription only. That said, you have to procure the licenses separately. So O365 licenses are separate and Veeam licenses are separate. 

What other advice do I have?

If someone has O365 or any other mail solutions, they should definitely go for Veeam.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. I've been pretty happy with its capabilities. I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Good solution that works and you can rely on
Pros and Cons
  • "Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
  • "In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."

What is our primary use case?

We use the hybrid deployment model. We use it locally. 

What is most valuable?

Backup and replication are the most valuable features. 

What needs improvement?

In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Veeam for five to six years.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. Veeam is quite easy to set up.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Pricing is very reasonable especially compared to other vendors. 

What other advice do I have?

It's a good solution that works and we can rely on. 

I would definitely recommend it. We are resellers and we prefer this solution. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

Unique backup solution which allows us to back up data from the cloud to our on-premise hardware
Pros and Cons
  • "Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises."
  • "This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."

How has it helped my organization?

As a customer, you don't have the required protection of your data when you use 365. There are two possibilities; Veeam Backup and Veritas SaaS Backup. The difference between the two is that Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises.

What needs improvement?

This solution could provide the option to choose a different storage areas. When you backup data, you have different types of backup and you have the possibility to pay for different levels of target storage. For example, when you use storage in the cloud, you can have a different storage classes with degrees of performance. This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage. 

It would be good if we could provide our customers with a possibility, using this tool, to back up additional data using less expensive storage (like AWS Glacier does). 

This solution would be improved if our customers could simplify their graphic user interface and for it to be more user-friendly. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have used this solution for two years. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A stable solution which is easy to use, but should have better integrative capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."
  • "The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."

What is our primary use case?

As the solution is cloud-based, we are always using the latest version.

The solution allows a person to keep his data third party when it comes to compliance requirements, thus necessitating that it only be backed up at a certain place. The solution is used wholly for compliance requirements. 

What needs improvement?

The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint. 

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable and can be tailored to one's needs. 

How are customer service and support?

There is no technical support needed. 

How was the initial setup?

As the solution is on the cloud, there is no installation required. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee. 

What other advice do I have?

The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs.

I would recommend the solution to others who need it to meet their compliance requirements. However, if this is not required by one's organization and there are policies in place for third party back up other than that provided by the public cloud provider, then I would advise going with an alternate solution. 

An example would involve a law firm or VSSR sector which has certain user data that cannot be maintained solely on the cloud and necessitates a copy being kept in one's vault. 

I rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 as a six-plus out of ten.
