Lightweight, easy to install and configure, and it does its job automatically
One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console. Currently, Druva can manage only one Office 365 tenant per console. As a customer, I should be able to manage all Office 365 tenants from a single console. This is one product feature I am looking for.
MehmetAksoy - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable rollback features for smooth IT operations and an easy setup
We are using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to take backups of shop floor PCs. I use it for clients locally, particularly for critical machines. It is also used globally for server-side backups and includes scheduling features like taking ten backups every Sunday when the factory is closed. This…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"It's incredibly fast."
"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."
"Druva is offered as a service so that we can access it from any enterprise-based browser or URL. We also have a single sign-on, which allows me to log in securely. Hence, I can easily access the system, configure it, perform day-to-day monitoring tasks, and check for any issues or configurations needed. Overall, it's a simple and easy-to-use tool with a high-speed and straightforward interface for management."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"One of the most valuable features is it is available on the cloud, so I do not need to make a firewall. Second, the backup speed is outstanding. The third thing is that the section policy is very good and gives you a lot of flexibility and granularity regarding what you need to back up."
"It is very simple to set up."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up not only to the cloud but also to your local environment so a copy of your data can be kept on-prem."
"It is a stable solution."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."
"Technical support in Veeam is good."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the backups, we do not want to lose any files. Each one of the files is updated on a regular long-term basis and kept together in the Microsoft cloud-only."
 

Cons

"The speed could be better."
"The backup time is very poor. The backup runs continuously. It goes on from morning till night. The system performance also becomes very poor when Druva inSync is running."
"If I could have an accelerator or something to back up the solution on the cloud, that would be helpful. Also, it would be helpful if the accelerator could give me a buffer of a couple of days for any kind of immediate recovery on an offsite."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."
"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."
"One area that needs improvement is the pricing of Veeam Backup, as it can be expensive at twenty-eight dollars per user for one year."
"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."
"If Veeam could offer backup as a service for data backup and recovery, that would be great. We'd like something like what Druva is offering at the moment."
"Technical support could be improved."
"If it could rebuild the data without pulling down the entire chunk, it would be an improvement."
"If clients are backing up onto tape, Veeam's newest versions don't really deal with that."
"The solution needs to introduce more features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
"The pricing is good."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"I have a per-user license for the number of users and the mailboxes that I have."
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The solution is not expensive."
"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."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
