CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 vs. Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365

We use CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 with Office 365 and the integration is fantastic. I never have to worry if a use isn't going to see the right template, or if the plugin isn't going to work right. The system just works as advertised and it does it well. The signature templates are very easy to use and apply.

Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is well suited for anyone using Microsoft 365 for email, OneDrive, and/or Sharepoint. Microsoft offers backup solutions, but their clunky, hard to use, and expensive, not to mention the fact that Microsoft likes to move features around to different admin consoles or different locations in the same admin console. Because of the limited scheduling options, Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 may not be well suited for large enterprises - a backup job from a previous day might still be running when it's supposed to start again, but the new job will not run until the previous job is complete.

• Uniform Signatures: CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 allows administrators to create and manage email signatures centrally, ensuring all employees have consistent and professional signatures across their entire organization.
• Automated Disclaimers: Automatically appends legal disclaimers and compliance-related information to all outgoing emails, which is crucial for industries with strict regulatory requirements.
• Promotional Banners: Allows the inclusion of promotional banners, links to recent blog posts, or company news in email signatures, turning every email into a marketing opportunity.

• Allows for granular restore capabilities.
• Comprehensive Microsoft 365 Coverage.
• Predictable pricing. Microsoft pricing is "Pay as you go" based on utilization, which undoubtedly will increase as the tenant grows over time. Veeam is based on per-user.
• Can select which location your data is stored, if you choose.

• I would absolutely love to see the introduction of being able to force a branding format (Font, size etc) across our email real estate, this was a feature moons ago but would love to see this come back especially when Microsoft can kill all this for you at the drop of a hat....erm Aptos makes me sad!
• Easier to navigate training and how to videos to allow you to work out how to make changes and be creative yourself more
• I genuinely cant think of another point here!

• 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.

The solution is pretty much set-and-forget. It does what it needs to do, nothing more, nothing less, and it does it very well.

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.

As already described, the set-up process is kept totally simple. This makes setup quick even for untrained administrators. If anything is unclear, you can find all the information you need on the manufacturer's website. As access and configuration are carried out via the web browser, adjustments can be made from any end device. Whether on the move, in the office or at home.

The configuration of backups is fairly simple if you follow the recommendations. It took me a few days/cycles to fine tune the backups to make sure they were working. The restore process is also straight forward and if you are only looking for information, you do even need to do a full restore as you can peruse the data. You can also restore a single email or file instead a whole mailbox, OneDrive, or site

We have not witnessed any downtime so far ...

I have yet to need it during any of their scheduled maintenance windows. It's always online.

There are no performance issues related

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.

No problems but we had a couple of questions about functionality or edge use cases and anytime I contacted CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 support I was absolutely happy with their responses. Very helpful, polite and smart people are working over at CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 support. I would suggest other companies to take note on CodeTwo Email Signatures 365's quality of support and service.

The support technicians at Veeam dealing with their Data Cloud platforms for MS365 and Office 365 are very knowledgeable and ready to assist in the event of having an issue. I had issues when I had initially started with the product and they were able to assist in getting these issues resolved, a problem caused by me, and didn’t make me feel bad I had not configured or understood their product well enough.

It is important to make sure Active Directory is correctly populated and that content is standardized, eg telephone number formats.

Really easy, but we are not a big company. I am not backing up all users, just those that could fire me.

Unfortunately, we have often had problems with CI-Sign. Rolling out the signatures often didn't work and the administration was a problem for our e-mail administrators every time. In addition, the support was unfortunately not good. All this is better with CodeTwo Email Signatures 365. Above all, we are delighted with the application's outstanding support.

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 for Microsoft 365 gave us a nice application with a single instance to install, nothing more.

The product is very reliable :-)

I have had no issues scaling this software as my organisation or data estate has grown. It always does exaclty what it says on the box.

• End user spend less time to no time at all with setting up or editing their signatures
• Signatures are always conform to company standards
• It can take a few seconds for the signature to be inserted, this might bother some users

• 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.
