"The setup is very simple. It takes 15 minutes.""The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the backups, we do not want to lose any files.

Cons
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by adding more features with Microsoft teams. We have many files that we are working on with Microsoft teams and there should be more integration and features.""They don't have native integration with deduplication of storage.""The license pricing can be reduced.""They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance.""The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system.""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.""This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes.""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."

"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed.""Doesn't back-up from KVM.""The security of encrypted data could be better.""The solution could improve the stability.""Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases.""The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication.""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.""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."
