We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a stable solution.""The way it backs up personal files is great.""This covers the areas of backing up Office 365 that Microsoft does not include in its standard routine.""One of the valuable features is the ability to restore a specific email. For example, if a user has deleted an email and they would like that particular email back we are able to restore it.""The pricing is reasonable.""The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive.""The solution is stable.""Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises."

"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good.""The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful.""The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks.""A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company.""The best part about this solution is that it just works.""One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great.""I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay.""Replication without network changes."

Cons
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution.""It's a new product. It's not mature.""In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support.""A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system.""They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details.""It's hard to predict the usage on the storage. I need to make some estimates for customers in terms of how much storage will be needed on the cloud, and this is always tricky. It would be helpful if they could help us estimate storage or simplify the estimation portion.""They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release.""We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups."

More Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Cons →

"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved.""We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning.""There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features.""The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier.""We need the solution to offer IT storage.""The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement.""I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases.""It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this."
