SugarSync vs. Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365

When doing daily jobs, if you’re sharing large files, I think Dropbox works a lot better but if you have a system where you’re working within that system and you want to be able to work with that system and have certain folders that you have access to all the time then SugarSync might be just the ticket.

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.

• Sync files in any folder - rather than forcing you to store them in a certain place (Although this can be confusing too)
• Works in the background - although this is true for all
• You can share with others - including those who do not use SugarSync

• 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.

• Can only think of one thing. I have helped others to get going with SugarSync and they if they have problems it is understanding the cloud.... So maybe (if it dosen't exist already) I would like to have a animation of the proces with "flying" folders between desktops, clouds etc. Otherwise SugarSync is just great.

• 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.

1. Freemium model is the ideal marketing for an app like this. 2. Now their sync methods with Android are worse

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 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

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

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.

Customer service is amazing, they are always fast to respond and very helpful.

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.

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

SugarSync, like all solutions, has its place in the data storage stack within a company. The main reason SugarSync is better than the other solutions is that it enables me to leave my hard drive organized and keep my existing file trees. I don't have to constantly move or copy files to a specific folder if I want them backed up.

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.

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.

• There were some opensource alternatives but we wanted something with better support which SugarSync offers.
• We achieved faster project collaboration with SugarSync.

• 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.
