Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
"The scalability is good."
"We are able to store it on various cloud providers such as Amazon S3, Rocket, Azure, and IBM Cloud. It can also do on-premise integration, and we are able to use storage from on-premise. We are also able to recover data. It is a really good and intuitive solution. Veeam has developed a fantastic product. I've never seen anything that I don't like about Veeam. It looks like a very complete solution. It is really mature, simple to use, and quite interrogative. It also has APIs for writing scripts."
"The solution is stable."
"The installation process is very easy."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."
"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"
"Veeam Backup does backup and restore very well."
"It is easy to set up. You can use some functions to make sure you get the maximum bandwidth to do the backup. It has an option to bypass Microsoft network limitations and things like that."
 

Cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"I'm very satisfied with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and would continue using it if it were up to me. However, my management is considering alternative solutions due to issues with our storage solutions."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."
"If it could rebuild the data without pulling down the entire chunk, it would be an improvement."
"We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups."
"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."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
"They should include some more options to send alerts in existing monitoring software."
"One major drawback is that Veeam doesn't support migrating data once it's stored in object storage like S3."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"From our perspective in South Africa, our biggest challenge is the exchange rate from the South African currency to the US dollar. This makes it a bit pricey for us. However, compared to other backup solutions available, I would rate the pricing at a nine out of ten. For the servers, features, and functionality you get, it's worth the money. Of course, we'd always prefer things to be cheaper, but we also understand that you have to pay for proper functionality. So overall, it's not badly priced at all."
"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."
"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."
"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"The pricing is expensive."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
