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.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance
One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product offers good stability."
"The scalability of Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is very good."
"We are able to store it on various cloud providers such as Amazon S3, Rocket, Azure, and IBM Cloud. It can also do on-premise integration, and we are able to use storage from on-premise. We are also able to recover data. It is a really good and intuitive solution. Veeam has developed a fantastic product. I've never seen anything that I don't like about Veeam. It looks like a very complete solution. It is really mature, simple to use, and quite interrogative. It also has APIs for writing scripts."
"Veeam does not really have competition in the Office 365 Backup space, which made the decision a slam dunk for me because it was the one product that solved the issue and it works."
"Technical support in Veeam is good; if you face any issues, the response times are good and the engineers' quality is also good, most of the time."
"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"
"Veaam technical support, from my perspective, is one of the best technical support I've ever engaged with."
"Deploying Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 was very easy. I did the installation by myself, without any help. I spent one day on the installation of the product, and all weeks are working normally."
"It offers general business continuity and disaster recovery for the industry."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
 

Cons

"In future updates of Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365, I would like to see mail archiving functionality."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"One major drawback is that Veeam doesn't support migrating data once it's stored in object storage like S3."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
"Microsoft currently saves only two months of conversation history, and it would be better if Veeam could focus on backing up more than two months of conversation data."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
"We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups."
"Pricing could be more affordable."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The program is quite expensive and I am not impressed by their technical support."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"The pricing model makes this solution more expensive than it needs to be."
"The pricing is 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."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
