Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365

It's being used as part of the backup procedures for the entire organization as part of our data loss prevention strategy where cloud mailboxes are backed up on a schedule.
  • Connects with Office 365 easily
  • Intuitive interface
  • It doesn't integrate well with network storage
  • Doesn't appear to be an option to delete old data on a schedule
  • Helps us to attain the strategy set out for data protection
  • The loss of data is costly hence having that protection can be seen as a huge ROI
By understanding that Microsoft doesn't take ownership for your data. They blatantly let their customers know that is your problem.
It is a simple software to setup but it does have its limitations that you need to compensate for when looking download backups locally.
Yes, we were able to archive old user data and able to access it when necessary via the Veeam interface.
Yes. We typically use the export to PST and zip files for mailbox and OneDrive data, especially for the archiving of old data.
Top two would be:
1) Ability to download a user's mailbox and OneDrive
2) Being able to access those files or emails from an easy to use interface
3) Ability to export to a PST or zip file to store on another media.
Veeam was able to allow us to use local storage as a repository for our backups. Infrascale only allowed us to use another cloud infrastructure to backup. Depending on your needs either solution could've worked.
Veeam customer support is pretty solid. No issues there with the couple of occasions I needed assistance. Response by emails could take up a long time which is a hindrance.

It is suited if you want an added layer or protection to store cloud data offline to prevent data loss. Don't believe it is suitable for large organizations or jobs with 30+ large mailboxes where the data to be pulled down is very large.
