Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365

We use Veeam backup for Microsoft 365 to backup our user mailboxes, onedrive and sharepoint sites. We also use a sharepoint template site which we backup and then can restore as a new site.
  • Backup
  • Restore
  • Connection to Microsoft 365
  • Need to provide your own storage
  • No cloud version / local installation
  • Can be used in fraudulent cases
We needed a backup solution for all Microsoft 365 related data. User mailboxes, shared mailboxes, onedrive, sharepoint. We tried Veeam together with Keepit and ended up going with Keepit since they provide the storage.
Veeam is very easy and intuitive to use. Overall it's one of the best solutions out there. The only negative part is that you need to provide your own storage, either on-prem or in the cloud.
We have used the restore solution several times to restore sharepoint and onedrive data. Also the recovery of mailboxes has been helpfull in fraudulent cases where we needed evidence stored in old mailboxes.
Export as pst is very helpfull when you need to give someone access to another mailbox.
Backup & restore:
we've used this to backup a sharepoint template and restore it several times as a new site.
Browsing feature:
You can browse mailbox or onedrive data to restore specific things
Keepit is fully cloud based whereas Veeam is a local installment.
Keepit provides you with the storage whereas veeam lets you use your own storage (either cloud of on-prem)
never needed support
