Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365

We use Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 across our entire organization. Every email account is backed up via Veeam, including our Sharepoint and OneDrive. We maintain on-premise storage for all our Office 365 assets.
  • Incremental backups are very quick.
  • Our backups are very granular.
  • We can easily include all users in the backups.
  • It is currently not possible to exclude disabled accounts.
  • I wish there was more control over who was excluded.
  • Management is limited.
  • We have done several restores, and they were all successful.
  • This solution provides far better data integrity than the built-in tools of Office 365.
We attended an IT Conference, where Ransomware was demonstrated on several Office 365 accounts, in real-time. Then, subsequently, we were several reports from the field of this happening as well. We also needed more control over how we maintained our data, and our management felt most comfortable having an on-premise backup.
The management is very limited. We wish it was easy to exclude and include specific users, by groups, etc.
We had an account get taken over by a bad actor. They deleted most of the contents of the account and changed many settings in the account. We performed a full restore of that account, including settings. This one experience paid for our investment.
We have restored to both zip file and back directly into Office 365, natively. The restore process, though it often takes several hours, is very straightforward, and largely effortless.
The Restore features are the most compelling feature.
Veeam is very responsive, and cases can be escalated quickly.
