Simplifies backup, restore, and clone management across disparate applications and infrastructures
It's a simple solution to use. It's simple to configure everything that you need — configure your backups. It gives you an option to backup to the cloud or backup to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage. For example, if a customer is running on Azure NetApp files or on something cloud-based that they want to back up, they have the option of bringing their own licensing and cloud controls and NetApp will give them the storage to back up for as long as they want. When deleting backups, the controls are very intuitive so not just anyone can delete the backups, only the administrator is able to do that. Backing up and restoring is simple. It's easy. It's one click of a button. It's quite good, I like it.

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

"It's a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"It gives you an option to back up to the cloud or back up to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity in configuration and use."
"The most valuable features are the support for both NAS and NFS."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 are its intuitive interface, ease of use, and unlimited capacity for backup and restore."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"The most valuable feature is the data backup functionality."
"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."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"The solution is also easy to manage and work with."
"Veeam Backup does backup and restore very well."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
 

Cons

"The features need to be updated to support the latest hardware, as it changes every year."
"For newcomers or people who have less experience, it's a complex solution that could be simplified somewhat."
"Better integration with third-party databases and applications is needed."
"I would like to see the graphical user interface improved to include all of the functionality because there are some things that you need to use the command-line interface for."
"There are still a few things on SharePoint that they need to correct in terms of how they backup and restore."
"They could include WAN acceleration to compress the traffic to make things faster."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
"In some instances, a customer is not necessarily backing up Microsoft 365. For instance, they might be backing up a large Oracle database. It would be nice if they could tweak it to compress the file, so it's easier to transfer a huge file."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."
"The solution could improve scalability, both in terms of more storage and users. These two attributes are quite important when you talk about good scalability."
"While Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is a highly convenient product, there is room for improvement in its integration with Microsoft 365."
"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."
"The solution needs to improve its speed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is more or less the same as what we'd get from Veeam on Office 365, so it's fine."
"My understanding of the costs is that the price is fair, and not too expensive."
"The licensing was based on a three-year subscription and the price is good compared so some other vendors."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"The solution is not 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."
"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."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
