"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.""It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast.""Once you set it up, it works very well. You do not have to go back to reconfigure it– it is very easy to use""The product offers good stability.""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.""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.""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.""I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."

Cons
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful.""Stability.""Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage.""It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location.""Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup.""The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself.""The scalability of the solution is limited.""The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."

"They don't have native integration with deduplication of storage.""They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release.""This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes.""The license pricing can be reduced.""The solution needs to introduce more features.""We have found that there is a limitation in this solution where it only takes the backup of users who are using Office 365 Enterprise email IDs. We have many users in management and approximately 50 other users who are using Office 365 of which Veeam is able to capture the backup. However, for the other users who are on the local email server at that time, the solution is not able to capture the backup.""It's hard to predict the usage on the storage. I need to make some estimates for customers in terms of how much storage will be needed on the cloud, and this is always tricky. It would be helpful if they could help us estimate storage or simplify the estimation portion.""Veeam's performance is inconsistent."
