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

"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."
"The solution's support team is excellent."
"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 most valuable feature is the integration with our Teams environment."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality."
"The solution is easy to use. It's very simple and clients find it very easy to find all objects and things they need with the Veeam Explorer."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers."
 

Cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups."
"We attempted to use it for our DRP, however, we found it too expensive and complex, so we decided to use it just for backup."
"While Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is a highly convenient product, there is room for improvement in its integration with Microsoft 365."
"If it could rebuild the data without pulling down the entire chunk, it would be an improvement."
"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."
"I would like Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to increase the speed to reduce the backup time."
 

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."
"From our perspective in South Africa, our biggest challenge is the exchange rate from the South African currency to the US dollar. This makes it a bit pricey for us. However, compared to other backup solutions available, I would rate the pricing at a nine out of ten. For the servers, features, and functionality you get, it's worth the money. Of course, we'd always prefer things to be cheaper, but we also understand that you have to pay for proper functionality. So overall, it's not badly priced at all."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
