Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365

We use Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 to protect our Exchange Online mailboxes and, most importantly, protect SharePoint Online content, including all our active sites across the whole organization. We were looking for the backup solution to extend basic Office 365 recovery options and selected Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365, as it totally addresses all our business continuity requirements.
  • Office 365 modern authentication
  • Efficient data transfer
  • Flexible retention policy
  • User-friendly UI
  • Backup validation: the only way to validate is restore
  • Update installation is sometimes confusing
  • Documentation may not contain all the details and you may need to search for KB
  • Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 license price is affordable
  • Provided backup\restore options totally worth it to pay for the licenses
Evaluating Office 365 data protection risks, we found the standard Office 365 recovery options don't cover all possible scenarios, so we were looking for other options and Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 was the winner.
Straightforward backup and very flexible restore options.
Fortunately we didn't need to restore data in production, but we do the test restore periodically and are very happy with the overall performance and stability.
All our restore experience is still limited to the periodic test restore--we test it all including restore to the original file location and the whole site restore and have never encountered any issues.
Office 365 modern authentication support is very important. I also very much like the option for community edition; one can protect a small tenant or validate all the production features for free.
We didn't invest much in Acronis backup test as Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 was meeting all our needs.
Overall support is very good, I like weekly digests from Gostev.

Veeam Backup for Office 365 is specifically good when you need to restore an item that is unavailable in the regular Office 365 restore options (e.g., if an item was deleted 90 days ago or was force deleted). There's also still a chance for the major Office 365 disaster, so it is a good idea to keep the extra restore option.
