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.
  • We really need tagging functionality for this to be our go to product
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.

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.
  • Have the ability to offload backups to removable media instead of using the main VBR.
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.
  • I would love to see more reports from Veeam for Office 365.
  • Maybe with Veeam ONE.
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
  • Integration with Backup and Recovery Repositories
  • Ability to backup Teams chats outside of channels (currently Microsoft API limitation as I understand it)
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 recently moved our Mails from a local Mailserver to Microsoft 365. Since then we use Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to Backup our Mailboxes, OneDrive and Teams Infrastructure.
  • Backup of Microsoft 365 Mailboxes
  • Backup of Teams
  • Backup of OneDrive
  • Speed, although this is more a Microsoft Problem
  • Syncing of Backups between local Repositorys
If you use Microsoft 365 especially for Mails, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is a perfect solution. Fast and easy Backups, Restores and Reporting im necessary.

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.

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.
  • Price is a little high, but worth the cost.
  • Issues with some vmware hosts not being able to be backed up due to vmware licensing. No issues with HyperV though!
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
  • I have had some minor issues with their flagship product, but not with this one; nothing to report here
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 365

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.
  • Restoration: Veeam Backup for 365 can be a pain when restoring. It may take a while to open folders or files.
  • Explorer: Veeam Explorer has been very slow to run when searching for specific files.
  • Support: Support with Veeam could be better.
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
  • I'd love to see Dataverse backup capabilities added
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...

We haven't had a good product beyond Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 that would cover our M365 needs with restores and backups. This covers that perfectly. Easy to implement and use for our engineers
  • Exchange accounts backups
  • Exchange/Outlook email restores
  • OneDrive restores
  • It is a little related but we have been approached by providers like Quest that provide some of the same tools, but with our Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 running already with Veeam we went with them.
  • Maybe not the same wheelhouse but we did want to back up CAPs also, but the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 solution could not do that.
If you use Veeams VBR then m365 backup suite is a great familiar UI/UX for the admins.

Veeam Backup allows for quick recovery when users delete emails that they meant to keep. The application is simple to set up and just works. I would recommend this to anyone who is using the hard-to-hide-from Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
  • Setup
  • Restoring Emails.
  • Save to PST.
  • Reporting is lacking a simple one-page overview.
  • Mobile app for checking status.
  • One login for all Veeam apps - dashboard option.

In our organization, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 used to be critical component of our data protection strategy. This solution addressed key business problems by ensured data protection, compliance adherence, and business continuity. It safeguarded our Office 365 data, including emails, files, and documents, offering rapid recovery options for any data loss incidents. However, we found an alternative service that better met our needs.

  • In my opinion at user interface is buggy
  • In my experience, restores take awhile
  • In my experience, it's difficult to find data you need
In my opinion, it's just difficult to navigate the interface. It's clunky interface, and takes awhile to load the data when you need to investigate or perform a restore. In my experience, even with the server bulked up with all the resources, it's still slow and inefficient. We went with an alternative cloud provider that addressed these issues and we're much happier.

We are a HIPAA-compliant healthcare facility. Unfortunately, due to the competitive nature of the healthcare industry, we have a high turnover rate with employees moving to competitors. This creates a unique requirement that we keep meticulous records of certain positions. With the shared responsibility model of backups with Microsoft 365, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 plugs the holes in the limited backup options directly from Microsoft. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 simplifies the process of backing up Microsoft 365 data while offering a more comprehensive solution. As we migrate more of our data from on-prem file servers to Sharepoint Online, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 will allow us to make the migration while maintaining our HIPAA compliance.
  • Scheduling backups
  • Retrieval of information
  • Low overhead of resources
  • Email notifications for administrators
  • Standalone feature for backing up SharePoint repositories
Competitive industries with high employee turnaround. Moving licenses between incoming and outgoing employees is fairly simple, which is helpful where some employees are with us for a short amount of time (6 months), but backup is necessary.

I use Backup for M365 to backup my Office 365 GCC High environment which includes Exchange, OneDrive, and Sharepoint. This was my company's first move to the cloud for anything and I was in the need for a cloud backup solution. I was surprised how simple the installation and start up was.
  • Backups of mailboxes are extremely fast
  • Backup jobs run smoothly and without incidents, not set it and forget it but close
  • Restoring is granular and the restore options are comprehensive
  • The ability to do Backup copies jobs for non-object based storage
  • Meld the Backup and Replication application with this one
I would recommend Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to any business. It's ease of setup and use, along with it's reliability make this product worth using alone. When you factor in all the different restore options, this is a complete solution for backing up Microsoft 365 environments.

You use Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to save every mailbox, sharepoint, onedrive Daily for Security purpose , with this software we able to restore mail or full mailbox in few minutes its very powerful and not so difficult to use. Before Veeam we use many other software and it was a nightmare
  • Backup office mailbox
  • Restore one email instead to have to restore the full mailboxe
  • backup all the sharepoint
  • add more documents for every scenario
  • more details of the price to backup

I have been using Veeam since from February 2021. It's actually a great software. Otherwise restoration process are good, Instance recovery process are also simple and useful for migration also. It's seriously very good software for full server type backup.
  • Can easily add the cluster and nodes
  • Replication is very easy
  • Instance recovery option is very useful for server migration
  • No rules about job priority
  • Retention points and days might be a little confusing
  • User Interface was confusing at first
We can modify and customize too much with its built-in option and features. it has almost all modern features which is required by System Administrator so it suits the best.
