Pros

"The user-friendly interface of CloudAlly significantly enhances data protection."
"The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive."
"For data security, we rely on Veeam Backup for Teams and it is quite effective."
"The solution helps reduce our workload."
"It has got all the features. You can restore a mailbox based on an email or a calendar or based on all the emails. A user can also get access to restore the mailbox."
"The way it backs up personal files is great."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to restore a specific email. For example, if a user has deleted an email and they would like that particular email back we are able 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."
"The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."
 

Cons

"CloudAlly can improve in the areas of reporting, especially regarding backup statistics and backup failures presented in pie graphs and charts."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"The solution could improve scalability, both in terms of more storage and users. These two attributes are quite important when you talk about good scalability."
"If one administrator wants to delete something in 365, another admin must approve it."
"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."
"I'm very satisfied with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and would continue using it if it were up to me. However, my management is considering alternative solutions due to issues with our storage solutions."
"Pricing could be more affordable."
"When using Veeam Backup for Office 365 when there is a server that's running, I have to have a hard drive installed on it. For example, if I want to use another storage solution, I can't incorporate it very well. If I want to use SMB or other protocols I cannot use them with the Veeam Backup for Office 365. They have the support in the other Veeam Backup and Restore solutions, but it doesn't support it in this solution. Hopefully, in the future, they figured it out."
"I would like Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to increase the speed to reduce the backup time."
