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 feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the WAN accelerator. This feature allows for large amounts of data from one location to another. If the bandwidth in the environment is slow it makes the transfer slow but the WAN accelerator feature helps speed the transfer."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Teams environment."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with ten being easy."
"The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent."
"It is a stable solution."
"Technical support in Veeam is good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
 

Cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
"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."
"If clients are backing up onto tape, Veeam's newest versions don't really deal with that."
"Pricing could be more affordable."
"While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use."
"The solution needs to improve its speed."
"The solution needs to introduce more features."
"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."
"If one administrator wants to delete something in 365, another admin must approve it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"We decided on Altaro because, from the point of view of the total cost, Altaro looks cheaper than Veeam. Veeam has a lot of costs that are not clear when you start it, which makes it less flexible than Altaro, but only after half a year, you can be really sure that you made a good decision."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"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 cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
