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 solution is also easy to manage and work with."
"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 solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."
"The product is easy-to-use."
"One of the main features of the solution is it is easy to use."
"The program has been working really well for us."
"Veeam Backup does backup and restore very well, comparable to Acronis, and we have found both Veeam Backup and Acronis to be very easy to use and integrate naturally for administration."
"Its absolute functionality and intuitiveness are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement would be expanding its capabilities beyond Azure-specific backups."
"The support for deduplication appliances is an area to consider for improvement."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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."
"Currently, I'm working for Huawei and they dropped the support for Huawei, so that's an issue for us."
"The installation could always be a little bit easier. You do need to be a bit technical."

"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by adding more features with Microsoft teams. We have many files that we are working on with Microsoft teams and there should be more integration and features."
"I have not really seen an ROI from Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365. On the customer side, we don't really see the ROI."
