We are using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 since severall years now and had a few cases where we had to restore data from backups. This worked perfect and we could easily restore the data. Also the backups run smoothly without problems and the whole system is very transparent and runs without effort.
  • Restore single Emails
  • Restore whole O365 Accounts
  • Easy to setup
Restored single emails which were deleted by the user

With many years of experience with Veeam on-prem, moving to their cloud product was a no brainer. Initially we had to wait for the release of backup-to-azure storage but with this implemented everything has been great. Like most backup products, data gets backed up, painlessly, and it all just works.
  • Backups.
  • Restores.
It's a backup product, so if you need backups of your O365 environment, then it's for you. If you need a cup of hot coffee made, it will fail you every time.

We recently migrated from an on-premises Exchange server to Microsoft 365, and expanded our use of Veeam to also cover that. It's used to backup all 365 content company-wide.
  • Backs up cloud-based mail, Teams, and Sharepoint content using a single configuration.
  • Object-level restore capabilities.
  • Allows for enterprise-wide setup so additional users don't need configured as they added.
Despite a less-than-complete integration, Veeam for O365 is a good fit for existing Veeam customers, since the interface and general use will be familiar. It also offers a comprehensive backup solution for an entire O365 footprint, without additional component licenses being required, so it is good for companies who intend to use multiple components of O365. Users who only need a single O365 component backed up or who want an all-in-one backup solution for both on-premises and cloud coverage may not be as pleased.

Providing backups of our user shared data space that is utilized for file collaborations and access. In that environment, there exists the possibility for accidental or deliberate removal or alteration of files in a manner detrimental to our buisness. Veeam provides us with a fall-back for those files now that they are in 365, similar to to the fall-back we had when the files were on a local file server in the past.
  • Provides an easy to manage backup solution
  • Provides good, helpful, and responsive support
If you are already a Veeam customer, and have 365 data you want to back up, this works great. If you're not using 365, this probably isn't for you and I'm not sure why you're looking here. If you're not already a Veeam customer... maybe it's worth the integration time, maybe there's a better solution for you?

We use Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to protect our entire organization. We need an extra copy of all data in an immutable storage container. While the product can not backup directly to immutable storage, it can backup to regular blob storage and make an immutable copy in another bucket. This provides coverage in the event of accidental deletion and or need of data recovery.
  • Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 provides a single pane for access with easy use and mangement
  • Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 offers the additional piece of mind knowing that all of the organizational data is backed up and protected.
  • Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 allows backups to be copied to imutable blob storage with backup encryption.
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is great for email and onedrive/sharepoint data. If your teams, mailboxes, or sites do not have owners this will have to be addressed before using the product. It however is not a valid product as of today to backup directly to immutable storage. Backups must first be taken, then copied to immutable storage which increases storage footprint and raises the overall cost of the product solution.

We use Veeam Backup for O365 to accomplish compliancy with our cyber risk insurance and to protect the integrity of our data. Before, we had no way of recovering emails or sharepoint data outside of the default retention and recovery methods that were provided by Microsoft. We also cannot satisfy the needs to allow for recover in case of a ransomware attack against our exchange environment, rare but possible.
  • Ease of search
  • Recovery speed
  • Ease of maintaining behind the scene
  • Ease to add new jobs/repository
  • Extensive audit log for compliancy
We have had employees who were terminated delete large amount of emails and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 helped us recover.

We use Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 along with our Veeam Backup and Repository to backup our information. We are in process of moving into Azure/Microsoft 365 and now need a way to backup OneDrive, Sharepoint, Teams, etc.
  • Backing up Teams
  • Backing up OneDrive
  • Backing up Sharepoint
It is suited if moving from on premises to the cloud and you need to backup your data.

We needed a solution to provide versioning backups for our email, sharepoint, teams, and onedrive. Veeam had been a great solution for our on-prem resources, so we looked to it.
  • Backing up documents, emails, and chats.
  • Provides an easy to use backup explorer.
  • Integrates with Azure blob storage
If you already use Veeam for on-prem resources, this is a great solution for your teams, email, and sharepoint data

We use it to backup email, sharepoint and onedrive to Azure Blob. We back up all our users' resources in Australia, Asia and Europe. This allows us to restore any of the above resources in case of data loss in Microsoft 365. Great software. I really recommend it, really really really really really recommend it.
  • Backups of emails
  • Backups of Onedrive
  • Backups of Sharepoint
It is well suited for restorations back into Microsoft 365, but also to Azure native or Azure VMware Solution

So close, great product

We are currently using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to backup our whole M365 environment. Currently the only business need this addresses is a "feel good" blanket for leadership. In the event we have to perform an actual restore of our libraries, sites, etc. we are going to be in trouble as we heavily rely on tagging and this solution doesn't seem to restore these when completing a restore. Re-adding these tags will be tedious at best even when scripting it.
  • backups are great, almost set it and forget it.
  • the flexibility is also great.
  • restore speed is wonderful, not perfect, but really fast and efficient.
After all the interaction I have had with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, I would say it is a robust product and platform, with the exception of tagging. If there was a way to include this in the restores, this would be a rock solid solution.

Checked all the boxes!

We have a mixture of on-premise servers, Azure, and O365 so we needed a solution that would backup all of those environments. It also needed the ability to offload the backups to removable media for off-site storage.
  • Easily select items to be included in the backup.
  • Notifications of job status.
  • Separate backups for Sharepoint and Exchange.
For us, it is helpful as we do not have an online solution to back up O365.

We need to backup our Office 365 environment for a longer retention period than what Microsoft offers so we use Veeam Backup for office 365 every day to backup our environment. We also use it to backup our subsidiaries environments also every night. It is easy to use and a life saver.
  • Backup Microsoft Onedrive for long retentions.
  • Backup Sharepoint sites and Teams sites.
  • Very easy to restore files when they get deleted.
Users who accidentally deleted databases stored in their OneDrive were not able to recover them via Microsoft backup, so I used Veeam backup for Office 365 to recover the files needed for an important project. Veeam for Office 365 is great, and it is easy to recover lost Microsoft Teams files in a meeting.

Our business needed granular restore functionality of our Microsoft 365 products. In particular, we have hosted mailboxes with Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams data. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 handles all of these extremely effectively.

It is a standalone product unrelated to Veeam Backup and Recovery, so you don't need to have any investment in the Veeam product line to take advantage of it. Both local and object storage-based backup repositories are supported. Once your initial backup is completed, all future backups are done incrementally in a very fast and efficient manner. Due to the efficient storage of backup data, I have point in time backups going back several years since we started using the product with surprisingly little storage used. We can granularly restore individual items using the explorers for Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams. The restoration options are very flexible, for instance we can restore one or more messages from an Exchange mailbox to the original mailbox, PST file, individual msg file, or email it to someone.

The only difficulty someone may have in setting it up is the object storage, but there is excellent documentation to walk you through it.

We're very happy with it.
  • Fast Incremental Backups
  • Granular Restores
  • Efficient Storage
  • Variety of object storage support
If you have any important data on Microsoft 365 and need reliable consistent backups either on or off-premise, I'd recommend Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. Remember that Microsoft is not responsible for backing up your data. That's on you, and this is a great way to do it.

I can't see many scenarios where you wouldn't want to use this. Maybe if you have no budget, although the pricing is pretty good, but subscription based so you do have to keep it licensed every year to continue using it.

We used Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to back all data used in their office applications, such as Outlook, Word, Excel, OneDrive, and OneNote. The business problems that this helps us solve is data loss. We have users that accidentally delete items. It also helps us in the event of a bad actor.
  • Backup
  • Recovery
  • Compliance
  • Easy of Use
From my experience, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is well suited for organizations looking for a backup solution that provides easy access for recovery and provides protection of its data

I believe Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 would not be suited for small organizations that do not have the resources to learn how to use the product or the resources to purchases the equipment needed to house the product.

We use Veeam to backup a variety of dedicated servers and virtual machines. We originally started using Veeam to replace an on premise backup solution that wasn't providing us with the features we needed. Veeam ended up being the best solution for our company. Right now we use Veeam to backup roughly 90% of our resources.
  • Scheduling Backup Jobs is Easy and Fast
  • Restoring from Backups is simple and reliable.
  • Veeam support is top notch, I usually get an agent assigned and my issue resolved in less than a day.
Veeam is well suited for work environments using 365 or Active Directory. Veeam as a solution is dependable for small and medium size companies. Simple to setup and reliable.

We exclusively use Microsoft 365 products for email, unified communications, and cloud storage solutions. These are the most critical systems for our business and we cannot afford to lose the data they contain. While Microsoft offers some degree of backup within Microsoft 365, it is lacking for our business needs. We need a more robust solution that is separate from Microsoft. If an issue arises with one of their services, we need to have a completely independent backup copy of all that data.
  • Licensing is very easy to manage; Microsoft licensing is notoriously complex
  • The management interface is intuitive and easy to navigate
  • We already use Veeam Backup and Replication for our virtual environment; it makes sense to extend that to our cloud services
  • Account, licensing, and technical support are generally responsive
We are a small to medium sized business, so we don't have a huge team of IT staff to manage our infrastructure. That means we need solutions that are easy to implement, manage, and use as needed. Veeam is very good at this. It does not matter if you are backing up a small amount of data or a lot. It functions exactly the same way regardless. No need to worry about scaling the solution as your business grows over time.

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is used in our environment to back up SharePoint and OneDrive. We made the decision not to back up Microsoft Teams. This grants us the ability to restore user files and sites.
  • File Structure: Veeam makes it easy to find files for restore
  • Ease of use: Does not take long to get familiar
  • Alerting: Veeam does a good job of alerting when jobs fail or succeed.
Veeam for 365 is well suited in an environment with lots of resources, especially for organizations utilizing a diverse stack of 365 products. It has the ability to back up almost any 365 app. It is less suited for small organizations, Veeam 365 could be replaced by something less robust.

My main pitfall is the restore process. When it works correctly it is perfect, but that does not happen often. It gets hung or stuck often and takes a very long time to even open explorer sometimes as well as restore.

We utilize the software to backup and restore emails for up to 1500 user mailboxes.
  • Software installation is easy.
  • Restoring Emails for users.
  • Backups are automated.
The software is great for backing up your 365 cloud. I will backup your SharePoint, OneDrive, and exchange all at the same time. Your storage can fill up very easily so keep this in mind.

We use it to backup critical business data that resides in M365, mostly specific sites and document libraries in SharePoint Online, but also all of our Exchange Online mailbox data - it's 'our' responsibility to backup our data as explained in the M365 services agreement. We have in fact had to rely on it at least once as M365 actually lost some of our data during a 'routine data migration'...
  • Simplicity of setup
  • Instant recovery
  • Set it and forget it-like usage
It's very well suited to anyone who hosts their business in M365 - you can opt to store the backup data in Azure or you could really double down and store it on-prem or with another cloud service provider entirely, such as Amazon Web Services. It can backup and restore SharePoint, Teams and Exchange data very easily. It's of no use at all currently for data residing in Dataverse storage unfortunately...
