Used for cloud databases and overall cyber resiliency
The solution can be installed everywhere. Nowadays, it is deployed on the public cloud. If it's a small-sized environment, it takes two to three hours to configure everything. On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup ten out of ten.
Chong Khing  Lee - PeerSpot reviewer
Backup and recovery options integrate smoothly while affordability remains a challenge
My relationship with Veeam is that I am a reseller and system integrator. The support for both cloud-based and on-premises infrastructure from Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 impacts my data protection strategy because that's the reason we are using Veeam. Veeam is a platform that supports both on-prem and cloud. It's a single pane of glass that we can support both, which is one of the good reasons we are using Veeam. The key benefits my organization has experienced with Veeam's integration of SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, and Teams within its data protection framework are that single licensing is one of the things customers prefer to use because it's very easy for them to manage. I would rate Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 overall an eight on a scale from 1 to 10.

"The solution's main focus is on security and ransomware."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"The standout feature is its ransomware protection capabilities."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Sensitive Data Discovery."
"The solution is easy to install; our team just has to put together the plan, give it to IT and let them handle it. Other solutions are quite complex, but this is much simpler."
"In terms of stability, the product is good."
"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 is very stable and performs exceptionally well."
"Veeam Backup does backup and restore very well."
"The solution helps reduce our workload."

"It's user-friendly, especially for taking incremental backups."

"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"There have been occasional issues with the user interface needing certain necessary information, requiring us to contact support for clarification."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"You should be able to add more workloads to Rubrik Go."
"If you were to compare it to, say, EMC, the availability of the documentation, training programs, and end-user education aren't as good. Rubrik could improve this."
"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."
"When you are working in the Cloud security is very important."
"Pricing could be more affordable."
"They could include WAN acceleration to compress the traffic to make things faster."
"The solution could offer better reporting."
"As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost."
"They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release."
"Veeam's performance is inconsistent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a very costly solution."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"It's an expensive product if you compare it to traditional backup solutions; however, if you compare it as a total cost of ownership for a solution, it is not."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"The pricing is expensive."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"The price of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is inexpensive. We have a license to use the solution."
"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."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
"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."
