A scalable solution for backup and restore that has an easy setup
The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems. There's no other way around it. Recently, we have also faced RDS and print server issues. One of our clients experienced some remote desktop service issues. These things keep happening with Microsoft. They have a patch, and then they have some other rollout that fixes it. The solution should be more consistent with its patching updates.

Backup has protected our office data and now restores individual emails while admins configure settings
Although Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a Backup as a Service, it should give slight leverage to the admins to do more of their own configurations. When it comes to Software as a Service, we do need to agree on certain things, as we do not have much control over the software. If Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 can improve, it would be better. It could be slightly better, but it is acceptable. As long as support is provided in a timely manner, it is good. I cannot tell it is fully bad or fully good. If I were to give a rating of one to five, I might give 3.5 to four. Rather than giving a help database, which is an ocean of information to search through ourselves, we should be able to open a ticket and have them guide us on how to do it. As an end-user, different levels of admins exist—a fresh admin and a more experienced admin. They need to encourage us to open a ticket quickly, and from there they should guide us straightforwardly with the steps to follow to achieve the desired outcome.

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 includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."
"The stability has always been very good."
"The solution has good scalability."
"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"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 easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."
"The solution is stable and, with the options available, it's the only one we've used."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"The setup is very simple. It takes 15 minutes."
"The tool is easy to use and straightforward regarding restoration and creating backups. It's user-friendly, providing results and sending alerts when something goes wrong."
"The way it backs up personal files is great."
"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."
 

Cons

"I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."
"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"Support is quite bad. They advise too late. When we call for support, it really does take far too long for a response."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
"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."
"I chose 9 out of 10 instead of a perfect 10 because I think reporting could be more user-friendly, particularly with a simple summary of successful and failed backups."
"Its price could be improved."
"While Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is a highly convenient product, there is room for improvement in its integration with Microsoft 365."
"If one administrator wants to delete something in 365, another admin must approve it."
"One area that needs improvement is the pricing of Veeam Backup, as it can be expensive at twenty-eight dollars per user for one year."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"The solution could also be cheaper."
"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"Veaam Backup is licensed per mailbox, which customers like because it's per user and so they don't have to pay for shared mailboxes."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
"The cost of Veeam Backup is $28 per user for one year."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
