Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 Reviews

Most of the time, the solution is primarily used for a VM backup from VMware.

The ease of use is great. 

The integrations with the storage vendors are useful. We have snapshot capabilities and stuff like that.

The setup was straightforward. 

It is a stable solution.

The scalability is great.

Currently, I'm working for Huawei and they dropped the support for Huawei, so that's an issue for us. The full storage is not supported anymore. We probably will need to evaluate another backup vendor now.

We would like a full Linux-based solution. They still use the management platform on Windows. It should maybe also have an appliance deployment or something like that, that is pre-configured.

I've been using the solution for about ten years now. 

It is quite stable and reliable. There are no issues. It doesn't have bugs or glitches. 

There should be separation of your backup network with your protection so that you have additional protection from ransomware. Potential new users should integrate it and look out for ransomware capabilities.

The solution scales well.

Mostly, I am the person on the solution. There may be an administrator as well. 

I worked a little bit with Commvault, and with Data Protector, however, that was almost ten years ago.

The integration with VMware was much better at the beginning than with the other products. Then there was a price, ease of use, and stuff like that that we also considered when switching.

The initial setup was very straightforward and simple. After 10 years, you know what the pitfalls are, so it's quite easy to manage implementations. So it's still an upgrade of an upgrade. The deployment takes a couple of days. 

You only need one person for deployment and maintenance. 

I work for integrators. I handle the initial setups of the solution myself. 

I didn't do the price calculation, however, the ROI has been good. I just do the initial budget and then I do not verify.

Users can pay a licensing fee on a monthly or yearly basis. It is becoming more and more expensive. I'd rate it a three out of five in terms of affordability.

There may be extra costs as well. You have to foresee the hardware to run it on and then store the backup. There may be costs around integrations.

I don't use it anymore for protection. It's just for testing and demonstration, and not for protection.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

If you have any virtualization solution, you don't have to have a VM solution for Linux. We don't need to go through an agent for a physical server. I've only done one integration one time for Office.

It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast.

With the latest version, you can back up directly to the cloud without having to do it on-prem, which saves money. 

The integration is very easy. It's fast and straightforward. The product is pretty straightforward to deploy.

It is stable.

Microsoft already gives backup features, and therefore they don't need to go for another backup solution. 

I don't have any notes for improvements. 

It is only for Office, not for other platforms. 

It's a new product. It's not mature. It might need more cloud capacity.

I've used the solution for one year. 

The solution is stable. I'd rate it eight out of ten. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable.

This is a simple backup for Office 365. It doesn't need to be scalable. 

We haven't dealt with technical support.

The solution is very easy to set up. Once you start, you just click through and enter information about storage, user name, and password. 

We are integrators and can help clients set it up. Anyone with good Microsoft knowledge can handle the setup.

The pricing is acceptable. It's not overly expensive. I'd rate the pricing nine out of ten.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I'd recommend the solution to others.

Users should not rely on Microsoft. They need to have another local solution to handle backups outside of Microsoft.

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.

We use Veeam Backup for Office 365 to back up our data, such as mailboxes, OneDrive, or SharePoint. We are able to back up our data on-premises.

Veeam Backup for Office 365 has helped our organization by allowing us to keep our data safe. If we accidentally delete our date we can recover it. We had an incident where a user deleted accounts and emails and we were able to recover the data. 

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.

The solution provides support from one location to another, such as with Hyper-V and VMware.

The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system.

I have been Veeam Backup for Office 365 for approximately six months.

The solution is stable.

Veeam Backup for Office 365 is scalable.

I have used the support from Veeam Backup for Office 365.

I previously used Acronis Backup. When comparing Acronis Backup and Veeam Backup for Office 365,  Acronis Backup has an agentless deployment while Veeam Backup for Office 365 does not. Veeam Backup for Office 365 has the advantage of deployment and maintenance.

Acronis Backup provides a fully operational free trial to use the solution.

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

The process taken to do the implementation starts with the download of the agent from Veeam's website and a Veeam account that needs to be set up. Once the agent is downloaded you run it on the server with the global credentials the administrative privileges you will be able to access every service provided. For sample, SharePoint backup capabilities. The last stage is to import the data for backup and a plan. The full installations take approximately 10 minutes.

One person can do the backup of the solution.

The solution can be maintained by one person and it is not difficult.

I rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 a seven out of ten.

We use it for different workloads like the VBR, Veeam Backup and Recovery. We use it to back up our virtual servers, physical servers, and our SQL database backups. We also use Veeam to back up the user mailboxes from 365.

There were only a couple of restores that were required from backdated data backup. It was good to get it to restore there fast. For the virtual machines or SQL databases, we do get the recovery done quite often, and it offers a faster recovery time.

All the features are good.

There's a feature to back copy the backup from the local repository to, say, AWS or Azure cloud storage. That's quite helpful.

It was easy to set up.

The solution can scale. 

It is stable.

There is a free version available. 

If Veeam could offer backup as a service for data backup and recovery, that would be great. We'd like something like what Druva is offering at the moment.

Veeam currently does not have immutable storage, so if they can introduce immutable storage for ransomware protection, that would be great.

We have found the free version to be less stable. 

I've been using the solution for a year and a half. 

While the licensed version has been relatively stable, we have had issues with the free version of the solution. We only had a few problems. It wasn't a lot. I'd rate the overall stability eight out of ten.

It is a scalable solution. 

It's basically for administrators. It's only useful for administrators and if there's a request for data recovery they only perform it for the user. The end user is not going to directly use this product. We have three admins on the solution currently. 

I'm using both Druva and Veam, and I'm looking at Rubrik.

Both Veeam and Druva are good products. That said, in terms of functionality, Veeam has more options.  They have multiple solutions to choose from. 

The solution offered an easy initial setup. I'd rate the ease of implementation ten out of ten. Overall, it shouldn't take more than an hour to deploy it. 

I did a session with a Windows server with the latest operating system. After installing the VBR software on that and then installing the credentials which we're going to use for the backup and adding the backup repository, then external cloud repositories, I could make the backup policies and handle testing.

So far, we haven't really needed to handle maintenance. It's running well. 

I handled the initial setup in-house. 

The pricing is reasonable. I would rate it eight out of ten. We have just a standard license. 

I'm an administrator and an end-user. 

It's a very versatile product. It is easy to install and use and it is pretty stable. I'd rate it nine out of ten. 

Our primary use case is the backup of 365 objects and emails. At the moment, you are just testing Veeam. We are using it for production, and we are running a few productions on APIs.

We are able to store it on various cloud providers such as Amazon S3, Rocket, Azure, and IBM Cloud. It can also do on-premise integration, and we are able to use storage from on-premise. We are also able to recover data.

It is a really good and intuitive solution. Veeam has developed a fantastic product. I've never seen anything that I don't like about Veeam. It looks like a very complete solution. It is really mature, simple to use, and quite interrogative. It also has APIs for writing scripts.

Its price could be improved.

I have been using this solution for a year or two.

It is stable.

It is scalable. We currently have about a hundred users. We are currently testing it, and we are looking at expanding to almost 2,000 users.

I have contacted them, and they are good.

It is straightforward.

Currently, we have four engineers for its deployment and maintenance. We have the same number of engineers for NetApp.

Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp.

We are already using NetApp, and we are currently testing Veeam to see which one has a much better use case. They are more or less neck-to-neck in terms of features and the simplicity of connecting to Office 365. 

Veeam has, of course, a little bit more features than NetApp. I see a lot more options in terms of where to store your backup, but, in terms of features, they're both good products. From the price point, Veeam does seem to be a bit higher than NetApp.

I really like the fact Veeam has integrated into a single pane of glass. That's one thing that NetApp should do in the future. Instead of running it as a standalone backup solution for 365, Veeam has got it right in terms of simplicity and putting everything in a single glass for access purposes.

I would recommend both Veeam and NetApp. Both of them have got it right. The only difference I see is in the management. For Office 365, we have to go into our web console which is directly integrated on the cloud, which is good because it gives that differentiation. At the same time, if you're an administrator and you're managing backups, you should have the simplicity of having everything in a single pane of glass. 

I would recommend using the Veeam console to someone who is doing Veeam on-premise or cloud backup. It gives you the simplicity of having everything in a single pane of glass. I like NetApp, but I would've liked its integration into the Netcenter. That would really raise the game for them in terms of giving a full position in a single pane of glass. However, if there are people who are using other backup solutions and they just want to purchase Office 365, NetApp is also a good product. I would recommend both to anyone, and let them feel for themselves, regardless of price, how they scale, what features they want, and how they want to store their backups.

I would rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 a nine out of 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 for this solution in our company is for backing up emails.

It provides us with a more reliable solution for backing up Office 365 emails.

It is an easy-to-use solution for what we need it to do. A simple program that accomplishes exactly what we need.

I think the program is very good as is and we get everything that we need from it, but everything can use improvement. For me, the only obvious part of the program that could use improvement would be in the interface. If it were possible to make it more user-friendly it would be even more simple to use, and I think they can do some improvement. The backup is okay and does what it is expected to do.

We are satisfied with the stability for the most part. We had some problems a few times, but the most time it's stable. I would say it is stable more than 90 percent of the time.

I do think the program is scalable as it has a lot of options for improving volume and processing. Right now we haven't had much reason to scale it ourselves and just maintain it. We use two people to take care of the product. Even if you had much heavier use than we do you would not need more than two people.

I have not had any reason to contact technical support. As far as I know and from what I hear they're really good at supporting their products.

We previously used a solution from CodeTwo that was a suite of backup tools. We decided to change what we were using because we realized that there could likely be other solutions that were better. We found that Veeam was easier to use and it's more stable.

The main difference between the products is the stability. The other product wasn't really stable in the hybrid environment which is what prompted us to look at other solutions that would be satisfactory. The new product is really stable whether we use it in the hybrid cloud or on-premises, so I think that's the main difference and it is a better solution for our clients.

The initial setup is straightforward and pretty simple. In total, it took about one or two hours to do the installation and configuring. Most products take more time so comparably it was not so long. It's an easy solution to maintain and I think that really one person should be enough to install and monitor it in most situations. 

We are a reseller, so we do the deployments and implementations ourselves with our own technical team. Being a reseller is part of the reason we have two on our maintenance team.

The pricing for the product is okay. It's not cheap but I would not say it is expensive either. I think the pricing is fair considering the competition and that the product works easily.

Besides the fact that we were already using CodeTwo, we didn't evaluate other products. Because we already know the product was also made specifically for backing up Office 365 email, Veeam was reviewed well and it was the only one we evaluated.

Other people who are considering this solution will probably be good to go with it if it solves what they want it to do. Even without improvement, the program is really simple to use. I think sometimes it takes a long time to learn new programs and it really shouldn't be necessary when you are doing a simple thing. People who are in doubt should just try it to compare with other solutions because it is really good. They will find out quickly how it compares.

At the moment I think we have all we need for backing up our Office 365 emails reliably, we have a solid solution with this product so I don't see any reason it would have to change.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this product as a nine. It is very near to getting a ten, but it isn't perfect. I give it a nine instead of a ten to leave the company a little room to improve the product interface.
