Better than most of the competitors, capable of handling a large volume of data, and easy to set up
Pros and Cons
  • "It is easy to set up. You can use some functions to make sure you get the maximum bandwidth to do the backup. It has an option to bypass Microsoft network limitations and things like that."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

The use case is to back up Office 365 data. The users want their data in Office 365 to be backed up because even Microsoft has some data protection limitations. There are cases where the data could be lost, and Microsoft will not take responsibility. It is the responsibility of the users to set up a proper backup. For example, if you have a malicious user deleting certain data, you can restore it yourself. That's a use case for Veeam Backup for Office 365.

What is most valuable?

It helps to ensure that you can always have your data restored. For example, if someone hacked your account and deleted all your data, you always have a way to restore it. 

It is easy to set up. You can use some functions to make sure you get the maximum bandwidth to do the backup. It has an option to bypass Microsoft network limitations and things like that.

Functionality-wise, it is better than most of its competitors. 

What needs improvement?

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. 

It is also not cheap.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with this solution for a few months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is pretty good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is pretty flexible and scalable. You can set up servers and multiple proxies depending on your usage. It can handle a big volume of data.

In our company, we have less than 50 people. It is used by IT admins. Typically, you would need one or two people to do some routine tasks. For example, if a user deleted an email and wants to restore it, the user will call the IT admin to restore the email. 

How was the initial setup?

I just set up two instances. It was not that hard. We have two or three people for deployment and maintenance.

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

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

What other advice do I have?

If you are a small company and you do not have too many resources, I would advise trying some backup service and not setting up your own backup infrastructure. You can use a SaaS service. There are some companies that provide Veeam backup as a service. They set it up for you and charge you a usage-based fee, which could be a cheaper option.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

The interface is quite okay and the procedures are clear.

There are many applications in Office 365 and new applications are being added. They keep up with all of the data.

It's an intuitive solution to easily protect workloads on the cloud
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

When we work with physical infrastructure, we use a Veeam agent to protect that workload, but we use Veeam for Office 365 to protect workloads in 365. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I started using Veeam for 365 around a year ago.

I rate Veeam eight out of 10 for stability.

A simple solution that's easy to implement and scale
Pros and Cons
  • "I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is mainly used for production. If they lose connectivity to the cloud, they will have a backup on hand. 

What is most valuable?

We just mainly use the solution for a backup. We haven't tested too many features. The mailboxes and the site mount correctly, so, we can retrieve data from it. It's rather simple. Thus far, that's the best feature.

What needs improvement?

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. It would be helpful if you could at least go inside the mailboxes to choose what you want. 

The same is true for SharePoint. For example, if I have Sharepoint with many other folders in it, if I want to remove one of the folders, I need to remove the site completely first. That's a bit hectic. I have to remove the site completely and then go ahead and then re-add it afterward without the photos I don't want. If you could just go ahead and edit these sites, that would be great. 

Granularity should be implemented in backup for both SharePoint and Mailboxes. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been working with the solution for two months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites.

How are customer service and technical support?

We haven't had to contact technical support. We have managed to correct all of the errors we've encountered so far. There haven't been any issues with the software; it was mainly with other things like Microsoft 365 and the sites. We've had no issues with the software itself.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We didn't previously use another solution.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was rather simple. 

Deployment was done in one day, however, we had to do the backups for each mailbox. These took time. Those backups took more than a month because of the size of the mailboxes. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance.

What about the implementation team?

We handled the deployment ourselves.

What other advice do I have?

We are a consultancy and we also handle implementation and support.

We use an on-premises deployment model.

For those considering implementing the solution, I would say to just go for it. We really like it. We are a Veeam consumer, so we use Veeam for our data center backup ourselves and offer it to our clients as well.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.
