Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 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 has given us the ability to recover faster from incidents, which could save thousands if not millions in the long run.
- We have spent the last 5-6 months trying to fix an issue with our Veeam Backup solution. Support has not provided much help.
We understood we needed to back up 365 data when more of our stack moved to 365 and the cloud. There are thousands of user files in places like OneDrive and Sharepoint that we knew needed protection.
I have restored on numerous occasions files that were lost or accidentally deleted or corrupted. This has saved 100s of hours of work for various departments being able to recover these files.
The restoration flexibility is nice. Being able to restore a file to its exact location makes it very easy for the user to find restored files. I have not used many other restoration methods.
My favorite feature is Explorer and the ability to keep the file structure of your 365 environment through Veeam. It makes the process familiar and easy. I also like Veeam's retention ability. It is well documented and gives the ability to choose what date you like to restore your file from.
