Chong Khing  Lee - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Daniel Ogola - PeerSpot reviewer
The appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment.
The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"This is an easy-to-install easy-to-use solution for backing up Office 365 email."
"The most valuable feature is the data backup functionality."
"It's user-friendly, especially for taking incremental backups."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with M365. Its GUI is intuitive and not bad. The granular recovery options for VMs have been useful, though not as crucial as Office 365 integration, which is why we use it. Granular recovery depends on the specific problems our customers face."
"The installation process is very easy."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"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."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
 

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."
"Veeam's performance is inconsistent."
"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."
"The installation could always be a little bit easier. You do need to be a bit technical."
"The documentation for the installation is good. However, if you are new to the environment the installation could be difficult. The first time we did it it took approximately four days."
"If you use a device to back up with compression and duplication, the solution doesn't work."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
"The solution needs to improve its speed."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"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."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"They should review the cost aspect of the subscription for Veritas Alta SaaS Protection because customers are going for the cheaper storage, which doesn't give those features in terms of dedup ratios."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is middle-of-the-road compared with competing products."
"We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"The solution is not expensive."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"It is not the cheapest solution in the market."
"I have a per-user license for the number of users and the mailboxes that I have."
"It is an expensive product, and there is an additional cost involved in purchasing hardware. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The program is quite expensive."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
