Reliable and issue-free with a helpful onboarding wizard
The solution has been installed on Linux machines.  The solution is issue-free. We are happy with it.  The solution has been stable and reliable.  It is scalable.  My understanding the setup is pretty straightforward and that the onboarding wizard is pretty easy to follow.  I've never had to…

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

"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward."
"It's simple to use."
"Veeam Agent for Linux works like a charm and after-sales support is amazing, so I can only say that the product is very new."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"It is scalable."
"It is very good, and it fits the purpose."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive."
"The ease of use is great and the integrations with the storage vendors are useful, with snapshot capabilities and similar features, and the setup was straightforward, making it a stable solution with great scalability."
"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."
"It has got all the features. You can restore a mailbox based on an email or a calendar or based on all the emails. A user can also get access to restore the mailbox."
"Its ability to restore at the item level is very valuable. It is very strong at that. In the past, we had to restore a lot of data only for a couple of items. We can now restore an item as well as an email, which is good for productivity."
"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."
"It's a good solution that works and we can rely on."
 

Cons

"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"Technical support is okay. They could be more customer-friendly."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"I think the pricing model is wrong."
"The integration and the coverage of all the features related to the protection of Teams could be improved."
"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."
"Its price could be improved."
"If you use a device to back up with compression and duplication, the solution doesn't work."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by reducing the time it takes for backups. I have mentioned this to Veeam and hopefully, in the next version, it will be a faster backup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"The costing is very competitive."
"Price-wise it's good."
"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"The solution is not expensive."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
