Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365

We are using Veeam Backup for MS Office 365 to backup all users mailboxes on a daily basis. It has worked extremely well for us. I am able to restore anything from entire mailboxes down to individual emails quickly and easily. This is extremely easy to use and powerful software to backup your 365 data.
  • Performs 365 backups easily and without issue.
  • Interface is easy to understand and use.
  • Restoring is powerful. Can search and restore anything from entire mailboxes to individual emails.
  • A more advanced search might be useful.
  • Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 has provided us a controllable backup for 365, which we did not have before.
  • We not have the capability to restore out Office 365 information quickly, which is very useful.
We learned that we needed a backup option for Office 365 data since Microsoft does not backup data for tenants. We were familiar with the Veeam interface, since we use Veeam for server backups, so Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 was a logical option for backing up our 365 data.
This solution is easy to implement, manage and use. We can restore data backups quickly and can search through mailboxes or SharePoint data to find exactly what needs to be restored.
We have used the search and restore options of Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 several times to restore email whenever a user is missing or accidentally archives or deletes an email. Through the use of the search option, it is easy to quickly locate whatever is needed and do a restore to their existing mailbox or export the email for the user.
For the most part, we restore emails back to the user's current mailbox. When an entire mailbox or a large portion of a mailbox needs restoring, we will export this backup to a zip or pst file and save this to a separate appropriate location.
Ease of installation made setting up this backup solution a breeze. Once you set the connection to your Office 365 environment, your backup schedule and backup location, Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 is good to go.

I also love how easy it is to restore an email. There are several options for restoring emails to various locations, which is very convenient.
We have only used Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 as it was a complete software solution for our needs. Being familiar with the interface was definitely a bonus to us when choosing an option.
We have not had much contact with support for this software, but any time in the past that we have needed support from Veeam, it has been quick and efficient.
