We were looking for a cloud solution and found a provider in Toronto, Canada who offered Veeam Cloud Connect and was able to store all our data. However, the service provided was not very satisfactory.

We made the decision to switch to Acronis about a month and a half ago after seeing their accreditation. We are in the process of migrating everything from our previous provider to Acronis.

As my company was a service provider, Veeam Cloud Connect provided another layer of data protection for customers. The solution provided another copy of customer data in the cloud. It was the service my company provided. Veeam Cloud Connect also has a lot of features, such as being able to send additional copies from the cloud to tape, so it was able to improve the company I was in.

The most valuable is that basically a lot of customers have the misconception that when they host their data on the Cloud, the Cloud providers actually protect the data. Meanwhile, Cloud Providers are generally responsible for the availability of the service. The data is always the responsibility of whoever owns it. Nobody can ensure the data can always be there. So there's a lot of news cases that happened. Sometimes, people lose data on Office 365. For example, some emails get deleted and they seek the attention of Office 365. On average, it has been discovered that it takes about 140 days for a user to discover the email was deleted.

You never know. Employees become disgruntled all of the sudden. There are also hardware attacks on Office 365, even though there is cybersecurity on Microsoft. Nothing is bulletproof in the cybersecurity industry. So, it's always good to have a second copy of your data.

The biggest improvements are in the administration and management of the organization and in its ability to make everything more agile.

Before Veeam Backup and Replication offered native S3 integration, Veeam Cloud Connect was the primary way for service provider's, such as ourselves, to implement a shared Veeam infrastructure and offer customers a service to store their backup data off-site. When we implemented this functionality, it allowed us to offer our Veeam customers a more complete solution offering and an alternative to tape for sending backup data off-site.
