Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a BaaS (Backup as a Service) solution used to back up and restore Microsoft 365 data, including Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft OneDrive for Business and Microsoft Teams data.
Veeam is a strong product and is now an option for my organization to acquire. Veeam has been around for many years and is very competitive when it comes to Backup solutions
Acronis Cyber Backup is nice but not so extensive as Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365. I did test it after we deployed Veeam's product but didn't like it so much. It lacks the all-in enterprise features that can be seen right from the first start on Veeam Backup for …
Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 rides the line of being overly complex and too restrictive very well. Acronis has far too many components for a small to medium business like us, whereas Arcserve requires interfacing with an unappealing graphical interface. Veeam Data Cloud …
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is another good option similar to Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365. It provides better built-in Cyber Security features than Veeam's product. However, the Technical Documentation and Support of Veam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 seems much better …
It works great as a cloud backup solution, and restoring data from a past backup is easy. If you need an easy-to-use cloud backup solution for some servers, I would recommend Acronis. If we had a need, I would use this to back up all of our computers as well. I am not too sure how it would handle backing up over 50 devices, though.
The implementation of their services is fairly simple and their engineers will assist in any issues that arise when you attempt to get the solutions implemented. One scenario we experienced in implementation is a server was not able to be backed up. The engineer logged onto our system on a remote support session and helped to diagnose why we were experiencing the issue. They ensured we were up and running again in a timely manner to remain covered on our backed up services.
My CFO seemed to have lost a whole year of important emails. I simply restored them to his mailbox in a matter of minutes.
An employee left the company but an issue came up with a quote this person sent out. I could search his mailbox and got the quote as well as all communications from that customer.
It is nice to be able to search emails in various mailboxes without disturbing the user.
It is also nice to go back in time. Say they deleted those emails last month I can go back years if needed.
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 isn't 'multi geo' aware - this means we have to manually select resources to back up depending on their geo-location.
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 doesn't backup Private Channels users create in a Team - there are workarounds for this but it would be nice if this just worked.
We have renewed our subscription over the course of a few years now. We used to use Backup Exec and it was tedious and difficult to obtain our backups when needed. Acronis just fits our environment style and the way we prefer to do business and use our third party software.
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 just works so well and is so easy to use. I researched multiple options for Office 365 backup and none seemed to be as easy to setup and use as Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and the pricing was very comfortable to us. I can't imagine any reason why we would change away from Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.
The overall platform is great. The backup solution stands out with integrated cybersecurity. The ability to turn on the security features like endpoint protection, email security, RMM, and PSA is great. It makes things so much easier to manage a few different services from the same portal instead of logging into multiple accounts.
While the product is rock-solid and only has errors when Microsoft changes things on their API side, the solution is at times too simplistic. The need to analyze and report on the data being stored is lackluster. The functionality and use of the product is a 10, but the niceties and features you would want in a product of this caliber are lacking.
We have a lot of data, and pulling backups out of the store sometimes takes a bit of time - but this is within acceptable tolerances. I don't expect restores to be instantaneous, and I can't quantify if the speed is software or data repository.
I only got one issue resolved for more than 20 cases open. The escalation is ineffective. Most of the time, I have the feeling that I know the solution better than the support technician. Overall, case management is time-consuming, as our resolution rate is really low
Veeam Data Cloud support for Microsoft 365 is excellent (just like for Veeam Backup & Replication). It's easy to create a ticket in the support portal, and the support engineers respond quickly and accurately, usually within a few hours! Issues are resolved and/or investigated quickly.
I don't have any real key 'insights' per say except that it wasn't difficult at all, and do not be afraid to dabble in its tools and settings. It is quite intuitive with built in common sense. I cannot say enough good things about our companies experience when using this backup software.
Barracuda Cloud Essentials has email security, archiving, and allows users to manage their own spam email. Barracuda also comes with a backup feature and it all works together under one roof. Barracuda has been our alternative to other major services on the market. Acronis does well as a backup service, but Barracuda provides us a much more broader experience as an IT client.
Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 offered a straightforward, upfront billing model with no hidden storage fees.In contrast, Rubrik’s proposal emphasized enterprise-grade features like air-gapped backups, sensitive data monitoring, and zero-trust architecture—but came with a higher initial investment as well as higher recurring costs. Simplicity and Microsoft 365 Focus Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365’s solution was purpose-built for Microsoft 365, offering granular recovery, seamless integration, and a user-friendly interface
The ability to back up multiple servers from one source is a great tool to have for businesses that have equipment in different locations on the same network with a variety of software data to back up such as SQL, Exchange or a Files Server. You can decide to purchase individual server licenses as well if you would like to keep the process separate or have multiple sites where your data is housed.
The only real impact is from a compliance standpoint. Our company is expected at a regulatory level to be protecting our data and even though the tenant has little traffic there could still be some regulated data in there. We have to be able to tell an auditor that it's being backed up by an enterprise grade solution, and that's what VDC was intended for.
