Stable solution with a wider boost functionality, helping us eliminate the tape backup requirements
We use the solution to protect the applications running in the cloud or on-premises. Its wider boost functionality helps us eliminate the tape backup requirements The solution's most valuable feature is throttling the applications as per the bandwidth. Using it, we can adapt a method to work on…

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 solution's support team is excellent."
"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"This covers the areas of backing up Office 365 that Microsoft does not include in its standard routine."
"It is very simple to set up."
"I find Veeam's customer service and support to be excellent, rating them ten out of ten."
"One of the main features of the solution is it is easy to use."
"Its absolute functionality and intuitiveness are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
"They should include some more options to send alerts in existing monitoring software."
"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."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"Veaam Backup can be confusing for customers when they start trying to understand how to use the product in multiple environments."
"If clients are backing up onto tape, Veeam's newest versions don't really deal with that."
"Pricing could be more affordable."
"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."
"When you are working in the Cloud security is very important."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."
"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a subscription-based solution."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
