Provides enterprise-level protection from ransomware attacks

Speaking about how the product is deployed in my company's business operations, I would say that it is an appliance with a critical infrastructure. In terms of data protection capabilities, the tool's ability to boot a device and have a separate network has saved the day for many of our company's clients who use the solution. If you have a collection of old servers, and if one of the old servers dies, you could be dead in the water if you cannot locally boot a server. Even the new gears in place can have an issue if people are not spending money on robust hardware tools, and replace them. It is necessary to have the local boot options if and when you have a hardware issue. The product brings the most value in the area of virtual boot when it comes to disaster recovery since it can boot up a version of the server from before an incident, which is helpful and allows your company to have a lower RPO or recovery point objective. It makes a big difference if you can have an RPO in hours rather than in days. The image-based backup functionality has revolutionized and impacted our company recovery time objectives since we deal in hours and not in days. The interface of the product is intuitive. I like the product's functionality that provides the ability to see everything at a glance, along with the alerting feature. Maintenance is required since certain drives die at times. In general, maintenance is required to deal with dead RAMs and hard drives. The former clients with small offices and the old Linux servers that used to die in production used to boot such servers with the help of Datto Cloud Continuity. The aforementioned process allows the clients to continue running their business while buying time to get replacement hardware, making a big difference that helps them reduce potential data loss or downtime. The local boot provided by the product saved the day for many of our company's clients. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. Though the tool is not inexpensive, it provides enterprise-level protection from ransomware. I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

Backup and recovery options integrate smoothly while affordability remains a challenge

My relationship with Veeam is that I am a reseller and system integrator. The support for both cloud-based and on-premises infrastructure from Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 impacts my data protection strategy because that's the reason we are using Veeam. Veeam is a platform that supports both on-prem and cloud. It's a single pane of glass that we can support both, which is one of the good reasons we are using Veeam. The key benefits my organization has experienced with Veeam's integration of SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, and Teams within its data protection framework are that single licensing is one of the things customers prefer to use because it's very easy for them to manage. I would rate Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 overall an eight on a scale from 1 to 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The platform provides a faster backup process."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"The recovery time objective and recovery point objective were most valuable. It was easy to use, and it was easy to recover a file. I was the head of sales and a product evaluator for an MSSP, so I never had to deal with recovery from ransomware. However, I was confident that if ransomware had occurred, I would only lose a maximum of 59 minutes of data. The files were encrypted."

"The solution has the capability to scale well."

"Datto has strong competition, but they succeeded in linking their service to the device. It's easy for managed service providers to sell and upsell products using their portal and the remote monitoring and maintenance."

"The solution's reliability is one of its most valuable features...It is a very stable solution."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is its performance. Additionally, the user interface and documentation are easy to use and navigate."

"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."

"The product is very stable and performs exceptionally well."

"Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."

"The installation process is very easy."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the ease of use. You only need to create a folder in your drive and it's as simple as dragging and dropping files to store them."

"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."

Cons

"I don't have any feedback to provide in terms of features that may be lacking."

"The product's scalability features could be even better."

"They are now providing the device instead of selling it, while wanting their users to sign a three-year contract, and this is something which my clients don't like...I dislike the fact that signing a three-year contract is required."

"The fact that Datto Cloud Continuity is not cheap is one of the aspects that I don't like about the product, making it an area where improvements are required."

"At the time I was using it, I would've focused more on signatures of malicious software in the cloud. I love Datto, and I know they're on the right path, but I probably would've focused more on the operating system update management. When you go from the desk to the cloud or from the server room to the cloud, everything changes. Everything is different. You're not in control of your servers anymore. It is from the Active Directory management perspective and not from the perspective of zero-day attacks or other similar things. At the time, more focus on zero-day attacks and business email compromise (BEC) would've been a better protection factor than just educating about how many of these attacks have occurred."

"Datto's only shortcoming is RMM. They have a portal-based connection service like ConnectWise, but it does backups and keeps things running. Datto purchased Backupify and Kaseya bought Datto. If they upped the ante in their RMM, I could see them dominating the MSP space. At the end of the day, MSPs are responsible for networks, software, devices, and backup. Datto covers all these functions so they could offer a turnkey MSP solution."

"They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release."

"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."

"The solution announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go."

"Veeam's performance is inconsistent."

"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by reducing the time it takes for backups. I have mentioned this to Veeam and hopefully, in the next version, it will be a faster backup."

"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."

"I have not really seen an ROI from Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365. On the customer side, we don't really see the ROI."

"We tried to use Veeam for our DRP. It was complicated to use and did not help us with our DRP needs due to our internet connectivity at that time."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As the company grew from business continuity—or what used to be called business BCDR—they brought on services. Certain services, such as SaaS protection, were a value-add, but you would expect to pay for them. They are not going to be free. It is just the life that you live when you're evaluating software vendors, partners, etc. There is going to be some form of a base offering, and then there are going to be different tiers that you need to get up to a better level."

"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."

"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."

"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."

"The price of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is inexpensive. We have a license to use the solution."

"We have 2000 users and pay about $10,000. It may be a little bit more per year. We have an education institute and may have fewer expenses."

"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."

"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."

"We looked at a few cloud options. When we did the comparison, we found it to be a cost-effective solution, and it included everything."
