Easy to setup, good support and stable product
When we started, we used Acronis for both cloud and on-premises backups. Protege was a reliable solution, and the cloud-focused approach is well-suited for our current needs. If you require both cloud and on-premises backup capabilities, Acronis is a more comprehensive solution. For solely cloud-based backups, Protege is a solid option.

Backup has protected our office data and now restores individual emails while admins configure settings
Although Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a Backup as a Service, it should give slight leverage to the admins to do more of their own configurations. When it comes to Software as a Service, we do need to agree on certain things, as we do not have much control over the software. If Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 can improve, it would be better. It could be slightly better, but it is acceptable. As long as support is provided in a timely manner, it is good. I cannot tell it is fully bad or fully good. If I were to give a rating of one to five, I might give 3.5 to four. Rather than giving a help database, which is an ocean of information to search through ourselves, we should be able to open a ticket and have them guide us on how to do it. As an end-user, different levels of admins exist—a fresh admin and a more experienced admin. They need to encourage us to open a ticket quickly, and from there they should guide us straightforwardly with the steps to follow to achieve the desired outcome.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since it is on the cloud, it is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"It is a perfect, mature product."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"The ease of use is great and the integrations with the storage vendors are useful, with snapshot capabilities and similar features, and the setup was straightforward, making it a stable solution with great scalability."
"The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."
"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."
"The customer service and support team are good."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups."
"Veeam is quite expensive."
"The solution is costly."
"The support for deduplication appliances is an area to consider for improvement."
"We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups."
"I find that technical support can be improved because for people who are knowledgeable, it is good, whereas for people who are not, the support is too technical."
"The product cannot back up Active Directory objects while its competitors can. Self-service power enables us to deal with service providers. We provide services for our clients, so having a multi-tenant service portal would be good."
"The integration and the coverage of all the features related to the protection of Teams could be improved."
"I think the pricing model is wrong."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I have a per-user license for the number of users and the mailboxes that I have."
"We looked at a few cloud options. When we did the comparison, we found it to be a cost-effective solution, and it included everything."
"The price of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is inexpensive. We have a license to use the solution."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
"The cost of Veeam Backup is $28 per user for one year."
"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."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a subscription-based solution."
