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.

We use Veeam Backup for 365 in order to recover deleted items that there not intentionally deleted by our employees. Since MS does not backup, we also use it as a failsafe in the event information is lost due to accidental deletion of an account or possible failure on MS's part. We backup all mailboxes and OneDrive/SharePoint sites in our organization.
  • All in once pane of glass
  • Ease of use (the platform is intuitive).
  • Easy to recover items locally or back to the cloud
  • Should be able to integrate with Veeam backup (instead of being 2 separate consoles)
  • Confirmations that all data is backed-up.
Veeam for 365 is a simple tool, which is paramount. It is easy to connect to your 365 tenant and administrate.
It would be great if it could be a part of my 365 tenant ... some sort of API connection for web administration. It is great to recover items quickly using local storage.

We have a large amount of critical information and we use Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 for everything. It does everything we need and more, it took some time for use to utilize it to the full extent but it works how we need it, when we need it and I can’t ask for more.
  • Ease of use
  • Speed
  • Reliability
  • Learning material
  • Support
I can only speak for our layout and for us it works as we need it to. We have users spread out and not all are technically savvy and mistakes happen but Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 makes it easy to fix if needed.

We use Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 for all virtual servers inside of the MS Azure Environment. It is a critical part of our Disaster Recovery Plans. We have trusted Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 with our data for over 20 years. Highly recommend it to those who require Cloud-based backups and recovery. The product is priced reasonably as well.
  • Backup and Recover data at the file level
  • Easy to install
  • Set it and "Forget it"
  • Reasonable Pricing
  • Great Customer Service and Support
  • I believe that Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is the best product on the market
  • Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is innovative and trustworthy
  • I cannot think of anything that I would change at this time
If you have a large IT Data Team you might want to do the DR/BC yourselves. I used to do that, but today I do not have the bandwidth to do it in-house. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 became the perfect fit years ago. I have never had a reason to look elsewhere, whether I was with a very large enterprise or a Start-Up - Growth Company. The fit seems to be right for all levels of business.

We use it to back up all Microsoft 365 Servers. Quick and easy recovery and DR solutions.
  • Recovery
  • Quick Backups.
  • Ease of configuration.
  • We are new at this so learning all the issues.
Our old backup was not well-defined and cumbersome. Being single-threaded, it is easy to support.

We use this to back up our Microsoft 365 Mailboxes, Sharepoint Sites, and Teams Groups. We primarily use this for redundancy and data loss.
  • These backups are relatively quick when processing.
  • The reports after the backups are very detailed.
  • Veam Support for this product has been very quick to respond to our issues and concerns.
  • When submitting logs for troubleshooting, It would be nice if there was a better response time or a time frame provided for when we should expect a response.
It is well suited for us because we have many users who take advantage of OneDrive and save important work to access this data while working remotely.

We use it to back up mailboxes and share point pages for around 150-200 users. We use it to restore mailboxes/folders/emails that users need to have recovered because they no longer exist in production due to accidental deletion or other reasons.
  • Restore Deleted Emails.
  • Production / Backup Comparison.
  • Restore the Mailbox folder structure.
  • The product performs exactly what we need it to do well.
This is a good solution for easy, quick backups and restores of users' mailboxes and SharePoint pages.

I use it to backup my O365 environment in order to provide protection from data loss. We didn't have a solution for it which left us vulnerable. I looked at several offerings but Veeam fit the need the perfectly. We are growing our use of Office365 therefore this will become more critical as it grows.
  • It works with a wide variety of storage devices
  • It easily connects to Office365
  • It clearly displays the tree structure so you can see the hierarchy
  • I was able to use its granular recovery feature right away. It does that well.
  • Some of the options for encryption and replication weren't very clear. I figured everything out, but it required me to delete and recreate some backups.
  • It seems slow when backing up. Understanding that this is cloud data, I would hope for some method to optimize it so backups will be faster.
I work in a medium sized organization so this is perfect for us. As mentioned earlier, it's pretty easy to use. I am not sure how well it scales for a very large organization.

Backup all O365 app data to VM server in Azure, however this can be costly for all the storage needed.

Solved our backup and DR for O365 app data.
  • backs up all o365 data if you have enough licensing
  • easy to configure in 1 day
  • restore is painless
  • better way to receives updates in software
I think it's easy setup but needs consistent maintenance

In my experience, backing up exchange archive mailboxes can take long time so you need to be ready for extending backup times.

With <b>Micrsosoft</b> not providing a true back and recovery solution, especially for long term restores, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 allow us to get a backup of our whole 365 environment and store it locally as well as keep another copy in cloud-based storage apart from 365. This covers compliance concerns and allows us long-term retention of data and the ability to restore any of that data as needed for auditing or to recover data that was deleted or lost for any reason.
  • restore Sharepoint into another ShaePoint site
  • allows for on-prem and cloud-based copies
  • very easy to configure and use -especially if you already use Veeam B&R
  • official support for GCC HIGH - it's only beta now, although it does work
If you need a way to back up your 365 data since Microsoft even tells you that you shouldn't rely on their recovery tools as backup, this fits the bill nicely. I allows you to complete your DR strategy and meet regulatory requirement that you may have. It's simple and once setup requires almost zero management. It just does it's thing.

We backup Onedrive data for staff and a handful of Teams file repositories.
  • easy setup
  • intuitive interface
  • clear, easily understandable alerts/reporting
If users are heavily using Onedrive or Teams, esp with sharing documents you'll want to get that backed up.

Easy abd automated way to backup your O365 environment.
Great features let you comprare backup with prod data.
UI is easy and reliable and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 support keeps maintaining great standards. They are always able to help and employ very knowledgeable people.
Reports on O365 data are now available and a great addition for both regular users and upper management.
  • Easy setup
  • Great support
  • Reliable backups for mailboxes, SP, OneDrive and now Teams
  • Teams private 1-1 chats are not supported
  • More comprehensive Rest API
  • Support for Graph Api
Medium to large environments with a fairly decent cloud present. Software makes it easy to target on prem or cloud (vendor agnostic) repos.

We primarily use Veeam Backup to backup our M365 profiles and accounts along with associated documents and email. We backup daily and export to multiple places for redundancy.
  • EMAIL backup automation
  • Exporting of the backup file itself to on prem. Cloud to Ground backups
  • Exporting of company proprietary software and code
  • Disaster recovery process - can take long
  • customization would be appreciated - currently there not a lot of options available but ease of use is positive there
  • setup can be hard - but once set it is good.
Veeam is a great solution that just works and isn’t super expensive like with Rubrik, Cohesity etc. however it is being your own storage. Whether that’s disk or cloud. However as a result it doesn’t have quite as many add one and features as those other products. But it does backup great.

I wanted a fast and secure way to backup our company emails and One Drive files. Veeam offered an extremely affordable annual price and had did exactly what I needed. Setup and installation was very easy and I did not need any help from support even though they offered many times even without me asking. During my year with Veeam they even initiated a video chat with me and their team to discuss how things were going and offer any assistance that I needed. I am very happy.
  • Support
  • Easy installation and setup
  • Great price
  • the GUI could be more user friendly
I have no issues. It does exactly what I was looking to do, and that was to find a way to quickly backup company emails and One Drive files on a scheduled basis.

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 has filled a gap in our backup infrastructure. We use it to back up and restore all of our cloud-based data that we couldn't back up with other means. We back up our Exchange email, OneDrive shares, Teams, and Sharepoint sites.
  • Securely download and store the backups locally
  • Secures the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 software from unauthorized use with MFA
  • Notifies via email the status of the backups
  • Restores data from backups easily
  • Better third-party vendor support for NAS hardware
  • Better integration with Microsoft 365 for adding and removing users
  • SMS features
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is very well suited for our organization. It fills the gap for backing up our M365 data locally, so our organization controls and stores the data instead of a cloud service. This also helps with our compliance and cybersecurity requirements.

We needed a tool to backup our IT structure especially when it comes to mail and chat. We needed to have a reliable and easy to use solution and VEEAM was the perfect solution for what we needed. This is been here in our company for years now and it's working well.
  • Email backup
  • Teams Backup
  • Office 365 Backup
  • User interface
  • Project Management area
Our system administrator has always worked with it and he likes it since it's a easy to use platform. The tech support we received was also useful for our needs since we needed to review our configuration on the server. Communication was always good with their team as well. We like it.

We use Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to backup emails on the Cloud. We needed a solution for backups of e-mail and Teams chat and Veeam is the one that we are familiar with and chose to use. The software was easy to setup and backups was easy to restore as well. Definitely recommend.
  • Easy Backups
  • Easy Restores
  • Interface is easy to use
  • Let users know that Teams backup is disabled beginning of the install.
If you need to backup emails on the Cloud than recommend Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365. Backups are important. If you have on premise email I suggest looking at the other Veeam products to back up your on premise e-mails. Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is just for the Cloud.

We use Veeam Backup and Replication for our critical servers and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 for Teams and Outlook. Both products give us the ability to pull data whether it's from a database or files from someone's e-mail that's in litigation, etc.. The number one business problem addressed is having the ability to retrieve data.
  • Notifications and Alerting
  • Support is one of the best around
  • The product just works every time
  • Being able to modify who gets alerts. I have different jobs setup and I don't need everyone getting alerts that don't pertain to them.
  • Better support with the SQL plugin TOOL. Seems to need more documentation on it
  • Being able to join a call rather then emailing back and forth
I think Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is well-suited if you utilize Sharepoint, teams, and Outlook. THe reason being is that you have an opportunity to create back jobs to store your data according to retention policies set by your company. We have used it to pull old user emails or team chats for litigation reasons.
