Eric Thomas - PeerSpot reviewer

My advice to others is they need to try out other solutions before they make their purchase because Veeam Backup for Office 365 is simple and easy to use, but sometimes, I don't like the solution.

I rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 a ten of ten.

If there is an existing implementation, it is simplest and most straightforward to maintain a consistent look and feel throughout the entire team platform. I would rate it eight out of ten.

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 as a seven or eight. Choosing between the two, I give it a seven. I have to ding them a little bit because of the licensing. I am really not thrilled with that.

Senior Engineer at Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences

We tend to use the latest version of the solution. We have a support agreement and try to upgrade to the latest version.

Potential new users need to check out how easy it is to manage the solution. It's pretty easy to understand. However, if you need a backup solution, if you want one copy per day, per week, per month, per year, it might be that you can find other solutions that are easier to understand to set up. With Veeam, you have to think about it.

I’d rate the solution seven out of ten.

Veaam Backup has recently added MS Teams to the programs they cover, which was a big improvement. If you're an existing Veaam customer who has on-prem backup, I would advise integrating your on-prem backup with the Office 365 backup to get a more cost-effective, easy-to-use solution. I'd give Veaam backup a rating of eight out of ten because it's easy to use and solves a customer problem with its restore point functionality.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution is good, but the console management can be improved, and the new feature could include compression and duplication features. I advise new users to ensure they have a lot of space before using the solution because it's not optimized with compression and duplication features.

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.

Senior Engineer at MRB Secure

If you are not staying in Europe and you want to use it, that's awesome, go for it. If you are an MSP, don't use it.

I'd advise, if you're an MSP, don't use it. It's only going to give you headaches. That said, if you are not an MSP and you have a direct client, this will be a great tool for you to basically download or make a copy of your 365 environments. The cost is not too bad. Just make sure that the virtual machine has got enough space - probably double the amount of space that your current Office 365 environment is taking up - to make space for you to have incremental space. Otherwise, you'll have a bit of a problem.

Considering its limitations, including local backups, not really good reporting, and no encryption, I would rate the product at around a four out of ten.

For the past six months, Microsoft Teams has been of the biggest importance for us, both in terms of teaching and meetings. Our meetings include both in-house and outside. Office 365 is one of the things that is connected to that, and our files need to be backed up regularly.

This is definitely a product that I can recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Honestly speaking, lots of people just look at it from a business point of view. They say, "I just have a business need. I just want to backup my Office 365 data." But they don't take much concern into what that also requires. Generally speaking, from a backup point of view, the biggest concern is what percentage of data you'd like to backup and the capacity of this data.

Also consider what the recovery point objectives are, meaning how frequently do you want to do backups. What kind of retention policy are you trying to achieve? The shorter the retention policy, the smaller the storage capacity you need, and the lower the cost of the solution. At the same time, some people are tied by their clients and by specific retention policies. So, tell people they need to archive their backups into deduplication appliances to save on the cost of long-term archival. However, that's not natively possible with Veeam backup for Office 365 yet. I believe it can be done manually, though.

That's what clients need to be careful of and the really important part is to make sure they have enough storage for what they are trying to achieve as they prepare their backup plan. The internet bandwidth for this also needs to be considered. It is best to have a dedicated channel for this. Think about the use of backups and make sure it is properly sized. Then they should be good to go. They should be worrying about the details, the sizing, and design of the solution to fit their needs. Other than that, so long as that process goes well, it should be pretty seamless after that.

This product is a really decent product so it would be unfair for me to rate it because I'm not familiar with other products that compete with it. Generally speaking from my experience, this solution is very good, but it also has some room for improvement. On the other hand, it's tough because the product is really amazing. It's just really new. I'm pretty sure the improvements will come along the way. I'll give it a nine out of ten.

AN
Product Manager - Netapp at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees

I would recommend both Veeam and NetApp. Both of them have got it right. The only difference I see is in the management. For Office 365, we have to go into our web console which is directly integrated on the cloud, which is good because it gives that differentiation. At the same time, if you're an administrator and you're managing backups, you should have the simplicity of having everything in a single pane of glass. 

I would recommend using the Veeam console to someone who is doing Veeam on-premise or cloud backup. It gives you the simplicity of having everything in a single pane of glass. I like NetApp, but I would've liked its integration into the Netcenter. That would really raise the game for them in terms of giving a full position in a single pane of glass. However, if there are people who are using other backup solutions and they just want to purchase Office 365, NetApp is also a good product. I would recommend both to anyone, and let them feel for themselves, regardless of price, how they scale, what features they want, and how they want to store their backups.

I would rate Veeam Backup for Office 365 a nine out of ten.

We are a Veeam partner. We handle the on-premises deployment model.

If you are a company that needs simple virtualizations and if you don't have very complex applications, I would recommend the solution.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten. It's not quite suitable for complex systems. If you have, for example, a CSS share, you can't backup using Veeam.

RD
Computer Scientist at a tech services company

Other people who are considering this solution will probably be good to go with it if it solves what they want it to do. Even without improvement, the program is really simple to use. I think sometimes it takes a long time to learn new programs and it really shouldn't be necessary when you are doing a simple thing. People who are in doubt should just try it to compare with other solutions because it is really good. They will find out quickly how it compares.

At the moment I think we have all we need for backing up our Office 365 emails reliably, we have a solid solution with this product so I don't see any reason it would have to change.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this product as a nine. It is very near to getting a ten, but it isn't perfect. I give it a nine instead of a ten to leave the company a little room to improve the product interface.

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.
