Easy to deploy and integrate with reasonable pricing
Pros and Cons
  • "It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast."
  • "It's a new product. It's not mature."

What is our primary use case?

If you have any virtualization solution, you don't have to have a VM solution for Linux. We don't need to go through an agent for a physical server. I've only done one integration one time for Office.

What is most valuable?

It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast.

With the latest version, you can back up directly to the cloud without having to do it on-prem, which saves money. 

The integration is very easy. It's fast and straightforward. The product is pretty straightforward to deploy.

It is stable.

What needs improvement?

Microsoft already gives backup features, and therefore they don't need to go for another backup solution. 

I don't have any notes for improvements. 

It is only for Office, not for other platforms. 

It's a new product. It's not mature. It might need more cloud capacity.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for one year.

Learn what your peers think about Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: May 2025.
857,028 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. I'd rate it eight out of ten. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a simple backup for Office 365. It doesn't need to be scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

We haven't dealt with technical support.

How was the initial setup?

The solution is very easy to set up. Once you start, you just click through and enter information about storage, user name, and password. 

What about the implementation team?

We are integrators and can help clients set it up. Anyone with good Microsoft knowledge can handle the setup.

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

The pricing is acceptable. It's not overly expensive. I'd rate the pricing nine out of ten.

What other advice do I have?

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I'd recommend the solution to others.

Users should not rely on Microsoft. They need to have another local solution to handle backups outside of Microsoft.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

It's an intuitive solution to easily protect workloads on the cloud
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

When we work with physical infrastructure, we use a Veeam agent to protect that workload, but we use Veeam for Office 365 to protect workloads in 365. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I started using Veeam for 365 around a year ago.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Veeam eight out of 10 for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate Veeam Backup for 365 nine out of 10 for scalability.

How are customer service and support?

I rate Veeam support seven out of 10. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Veeam is easy and intuitive. One or two people can deploy it depending on the number of devices or the workload. 

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

I rate Veeam eight out of 10 for affordability. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 eight out of 10 overall. Veeam works and is so straightforward. I can recommend it.

Reliable, easy to deploy, and offers good backup capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is stable and reliable."
  • "Veeam is quite expensive."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Veeam for our customers. It's used for backups and disaster recovery.

What is most valuable?

It works well. It's very good for backups.

The solution is stable and reliable. 

It's easy to deploy.

What needs improvement?

At this moment, I don't have any downsides to note. 

Veeam is quite expensive. Often, clients are looking for a less expensive option. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been dealing with the solution for three or four years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. It's reliable, and the performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. I'd rate it five out of five in terms of stability. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I don't have too much information in regard to scaling. 

How are customer service and support?

We've dealt with support in the past. They are helpful and responsive. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

I did not participate in the initial setup of the product. We have a separate team that handles deployment. That said, my understanding is that it is a simple setup.

Five to six people tend to handle the deployment process. We might have as many as ten people in our organization that can handle the requisite tasks. 

What about the implementation team?

One of our teams handles the deployment process. 

What was our ROI?

We haven't calculated ROI for our clients.

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

They have newer Pulse licensing that is better. However, our clients do look at the pricing and feel it is too high. The licenses are paid every three years. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have compared Veeam to other products, and I found it to be more stable and reliable. 

What other advice do I have?

We are service providers and a Veeam partner. 

We're using the latest version of the solution.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Flexible and easy to set up with a good knowledge center

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution primarily to protect data. 

We were not aware of the fact that Microsoft was not engaged, could not be, or we were not aware of the fact that it was not possible to engage the responsibility of Microsoft in case we lose or face corrupt data. We thought Microsoft was in charge of all the security and the workload protection. Since we have learned we are not fully protected, and after hearing of some bad experiences from friends, we started using this solution to protect our data and to be sure that no matter what happens, we can get our data from Office 365, and especially, Teams.

How has it helped my organization?

In the past, when someone was leaving the company, it was really difficult to keep his data without decommissioning the license allotted to this employee. Today, we can reuse the license. We are assured that the data is already safe.

With Veeam Backup for Office 365, it is possible to save an employee's mailbox and decommission the license to reuse it for another person without losing the data.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is flexibility. It offers good retention of policy features. We have a lot of flexibility in terms of scheduling or setting our data retention policy. We can retain our data at our convenience, which is really useful.

It is very easy to set up the solution. 

The solution is very scalable.

The solution is stable.

It has a good help center.

What needs improvement?

The integration and the coverage of all the features related to the protection of Teams could be improved. With this solution, not all the elements of Teams are protected. You have all the data, however, since Teams interacts with many other pieces of software on the Office package, it's sometimes a bit complicated to recover all the functions simultaneously. For sure, you have the data, yet not all the functions. When you recover Teams, you have to, let's say, set some other settings manually. It would be really interesting to have all the processes automated since it's so time-consuming to do it manually.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for just under two years. I've used it for about 19 months so far. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. 

The process of adding more users to extend your license is really easy. They're really reactive.

We have about 1,000 people on the solution right now.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is really helpful and responsive. The only downside is sometimes it takes a bit of time when we need keys changed. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have not previously used a different solution. 

How was the initial setup?

The product is very straightforward and simple to set up. You do not even need to be an expert to set it up. While the design is another story, the installation is really easy.

How long it takes to deploy depends on your existing architecture. It depends on how you want to integrate the product. If you are in a company with, let's say, 100 users, it could take you one hour to put it in place, without the time consumed by the design, as the most important part of the deployment is the design. It is the phase that takes a lot of time. That said, setting it up is very easy as soon as everything has been designed.

What about the implementation team?

We did not need the help of any third party. 

The local teams did it. However, we have leveraged the knowledge base part of Veeam, called the help center. They have a lot of information there, which was really useful for us.

What was our ROI?

We have seen an ROI. We have been saved from incidents by this solution many times. We've avoided corruption of data, and we are not losing time thinking about how data could be protected. It's agile and we are protected well. 

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

We pay for licensing every year. The license is purchased for a specific number of users. You can have a license for one year or many years - up to five years, for example. 

What other advice do I have?

We are a partner and customer.

We are not using the latest version of the solution. We haven't yet done the latest update. 

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations. 

This solution brought us a lot of flexibility on how we can manage and care about our data, as far as Office 365 is concerned.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Better than most of the competitors, capable of handling a large volume of data, and easy to set up
Pros and Cons
  • "It is easy to set up. You can use some functions to make sure you get the maximum bandwidth to do the backup. It has an option to bypass Microsoft network limitations and things like that."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

The use case is to back up Office 365 data. The users want their data in Office 365 to be backed up because even Microsoft has some data protection limitations. There are cases where the data could be lost, and Microsoft will not take responsibility. It is the responsibility of the users to set up a proper backup. For example, if you have a malicious user deleting certain data, you can restore it yourself. That's a use case for Veeam Backup for Office 365.

What is most valuable?

It helps to ensure that you can always have your data restored. For example, if someone hacked your account and deleted all your data, you always have a way to restore it. 

It is easy to set up. You can use some functions to make sure you get the maximum bandwidth to do the backup. It has an option to bypass Microsoft network limitations and things like that.

Functionality-wise, it is better than most of its competitors. 

What needs improvement?

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. 

It is also not cheap.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with this solution for a few months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is pretty good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is pretty flexible and scalable. You can set up servers and multiple proxies depending on your usage. It can handle a big volume of data.

In our company, we have less than 50 people. It is used by IT admins. Typically, you would need one or two people to do some routine tasks. For example, if a user deleted an email and wants to restore it, the user will call the IT admin to restore the email. 

How was the initial setup?

I just set up two instances. It was not that hard. We have two or three people for deployment and maintenance.

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

Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing.

What other advice do I have?

If you are a small company and you do not have too many resources, I would advise trying some backup service and not setting up your own backup infrastructure. You can use a SaaS service. There are some companies that provide Veeam backup as a service. They set it up for you and charge you a usage-based fee, which could be a cheaper option.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

Faster backups needed, but scalable and beneficial long-term backups
