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.

Helps reduce costs, saves staff time, and is flexible
Using Veritas Alta Data to copy data from on-premises to the cloud is easy. Veritas Alta Data is a premium product that requires minimal knowledge to use. It is flexible and can be used on Windows or Linux. With basic knowledge, we can implement the solution without any problems. Alta Data's immutable storage protects our data from ransomware by making it unchangeable and recoverable. Alta Data helps provide data protection across multiple cloud environments. The integration is smooth, so we can integrate between AWS, GCP, and Azure to move duplicate data to other locations. The anomaly detection extension is available in the 10.1 release and can be used for VMware backups. In a future release, it will be available for other workloads. With the addition of ransomware and anomaly detection to Veritas Alta Data, our clients are more comfortable knowing their data is safe. Alta Data is a premium product that requires minimal knowledge to get started. Alta Data frees up our staff time because they need to check the system in the morning, and if there are any backup issues, the longest it takes to resolve them is two hours. Alta Data helps reduce costs by freeing staff time to focus on other projects, saving the organization valuable resources.

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 is the data backup functionality."
"It is very simple to set up."
"The scalability is good."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"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."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"It is rather easy to replicate data across your cloud environment using this solution once you've done it a few times."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The ransomware protection feature and anomaly detection are the most valuable, and the ability to integrate new cloud workloads is also valuable."
 

Cons

"The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified."
"If clients are backing up onto tape, Veeam's newest versions don't really deal with that."
"They could include WAN acceleration to compress the traffic to make things faster."
"The solution announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go."
"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."
"It requires quite an amount of infrastructure. You have to set up the instance, and you need to know quite a bit about Microsoft 365 authentication. For some customers, it is a challenge."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"The license pricing can be reduced."
"Maybe a year and a half ago, during a backup, I had an updating issue with Java."
"It would be nice if reporting was a bit easier."
"NetBackup should be made more user-friendly, and a video tutorial should be created to help new users understand how to configure and use the solution properly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 cost of Veeam Backup is $28 per user for one year."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"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."
"I have a per-user license for the number of users and the mailboxes that I have."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"NetBackup is 20 percent more expensive compared to the competition."
