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.
MehmetAksoy - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The solution's main focus is on security and ransomware."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"In terms of stability, the product is good."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Sensitive Data Discovery."
"The automation capabilities streamline our operations significantly."
"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."
"We use the solution as a backup for our virtual environment and SQL databases."
"The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers."
"Veeam makes modular solutions, so you can install Veeam Backup for Office 365 and Veeam Backup and Replication in one single server. You can do an all in one installation, and roll it out."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"The solution helps reduce our workload."
"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"
"I appreciate that Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 allows me to back up on both local storage and cloud storage, providing two options for data restoration."
"Technical support in Veeam is good."
"The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"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."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"Integration with the client is something that needs to be improved."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"If you're going for Rubrik, you are not opting for the tape library because Rubrik doesn't have the fiber cable connected to the tape library."
"When you are working in the Cloud security is very important."
"If Veeam could offer backup as a service for data backup and recovery, that would be great. We'd like something like what Druva is offering at the moment."
"Veeam is quite expensive."
"We attempted to use it for our DRP, however, we found it too expensive and complex, so we decided to use it just for backup."
"The installation could always be a little bit easier. You do need to be a bit technical."
"Currently, I'm working for Huawei and they dropped the support for Huawei, so that's an issue for us."
"We tried to use Veeam for our DRP. It was complicated to use and did not help us with our DRP needs due to our internet connectivity at that time."
"Technical support could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"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."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"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."
"This is a very costly solution."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"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."
"I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"The pricing is expensive."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
"We have 2000 users and pay about $10,000. It may be a little bit more per year. We have an education institute and may have fewer expenses."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
