Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is very simple to set up.""The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs.""The way it backs up personal files is great.""One of the main features of the solution is it is easy to use.""Technical support in Veeam is good.""Its absolute functionality and intuitiveness are the most valuable features.""Its ability to restore at the item level is very valuable. It is very strong at that. In the past, we had to restore a lot of data only for a couple of items. We can now restore an item as well as an email, which is good for productivity.""The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."

"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center.""The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability.""A really good feature is backing up the emails of the company.""The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality.""The deployment is quite simple. Users are generally happy because of the familiarity they have with the features. The solution offers good transparency for the end-user.""I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay.""While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation.""The most valuable feature is the snapshot capability."

Cons
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details.""The solution needs to introduce more features.""When you are working in the Cloud security is very important.""We have found that there is a limitation in this solution where it only takes the backup of users who are using Office 365 Enterprise email IDs. We have many users in management and approximately 50 other users who are using Office 365 of which Veeam is able to capture the backup. However, for the other users who are on the local email server at that time, the solution is not able to capture the backup.""In some instances, a customer is not necessarily backing up Microsoft 365. For instance, they might be backing up a large Oracle database. It would be nice if they could tweak it to compress the file, so it's easier to transfer a huge file.""The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified.""While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution.""When you add a new site for backup, it gives you a notice that there is a new site, but the way you select that and configure that could be slightly better. It works, but it is not always very clear. For example, for the URL, you need to hover over the title or the name of the site. You should see it immediately on the screen. It should have a better user interface for selecting what you want to back up so that you get a more clear overview of the sites that are there and the ones that you want to combine in a backup. Its user interface should be more user-friendly. It has a lot of scrolling and doesn't give you a complete overview when needed. That's the main thing why it is not very user-friendly. It should have a better user interface."

More Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 Cons →

"The security of encrypted data could be better.""There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features.""If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive.""The solution could improve the stability.""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.""The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication.""I would like to see more advanced training courses made available to cover complicated use cases.""The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."
