A stable solution which is easy to use, but should have better integrative capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."
  • "The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."

What is our primary use case?

As the solution is cloud-based, we are always using the latest version.

The solution allows a person to keep his data third party when it comes to compliance requirements, thus necessitating that it only be backed up at a certain place. The solution is used wholly for compliance requirements. 

What needs improvement?

The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Veeam Backup for Office 365 for the last couple of years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable and can be tailored to one's needs.

How are customer service and support?

There is no technical support needed. 

How was the initial setup?

As the solution is on the cloud, there is no installation required. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We are talking about a third party solution, so there is a licensing fee. 

What other advice do I have?

The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs.

I would recommend the solution to others who need it to meet their compliance requirements. However, if this is not required by one's organization and there are policies in place for third party back up other than that provided by the public cloud provider, then I would advise going with an alternate solution. 

An example would involve a law firm or VSSR sector which has certain user data that cannot be maintained solely on the cloud and necessitates a copy being kept in one's vault. 

I rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 as a six-plus out of ten.

Good replication functionality, but better documentation and an automatic DR feature would be helpful
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality."
  • "They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case of this solution is for backup and replication of virtual machines, and the backup of MSL.

The deployment model was on-premises.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality.

What needs improvement?

The implementation of this solution needs to be improved. They add multiple features and new versions, which makes it very difficult to follow. They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance.

In the next release, an additional feature would be to have the disaster recovery where the data could restore automatically.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is stable, but we had a problem with the backup until we installed a data protector. After that, we have not experienced any problems with the backup.

How are customer service and technical support?

We have not needed any technical support, but If you are implementing the solution the assistance is available if needed.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

Enables us to easily restore item levels and has the best technical support I've engaged with
Pros and Cons
  • "Veaam technical support, from my perspective, is one of the best technical support I've ever engaged with."
  • "They should improve the backup and restoration time."

What is our primary use case?

We use the private and hybrid models of this solution.

What is most valuable?

I love the fact that you can easily restore item levels.

What needs improvement?

In the future I think that Veeam needs to support more easily, more databases and more services like SaaS services.

They should improve the backup and restoration time.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's actually pretty stable. I didn't have any issues regarding the stability of the product yet.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We don't actually need to scale this product. Maybe for an enterprise organization, it can be a bottleneck if they are using just one server. They need to control the scale-out services a bit.

In terms of the number of users we have, I have customers that have thousands of mailboxes with Veeam backup.

How are customer service and technical support?

Veaam technical support, from my perspective, is one of the best technical support I've ever engaged with.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was very simple. If you are very experienced the setup can take you half an hour. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I think it's a fair price. It's around $36 per user, so I think it's a fair price for our customers.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate it a nine out of ten.

What is most valuable?

Backup and replication are the most valuable features.

In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Veeam for five to six years.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. Veeam is quite easy to set up.

Unique backup solution which allows us to back up data from the cloud to our on-premise hardware
Pros and Cons
  • "Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises."
  • "This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."

How has it helped my organization?

As a customer, you don't have the required protection of your data when you use 365. There are two possibilities; Veeam Backup and Veritas SaaS Backup. The difference between the two is that Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises.

What needs improvement?

This solution could provide the option to choose a different storage areas. When you backup data, you have different types of backup and you have the possibility to pay for different levels of target storage. For example, when you use storage in the cloud, you can have a different storage classes with degrees of performance. This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage. 

It would be good if we could provide our customers with a possibility, using this tool, to back up additional data using less expensive storage (like AWS Glacier does). 

This solution would be improved if our customers could simplify their graphic user interface and for it to be more user-friendly. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have used this solution for two years. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
