Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365

We currently use Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 for all of our staff and students, backing up to AWS cloud storage. The backup solution is essential considering there is no backup of individual files in O365 by default. Using Veeam allows us to restore item level files quickly.
  • Fire and forget - the backup operation runs autonomously.
  • Very fast restores.
  • Allows us to backup to various cloud solutions.
  • As cloud storage is not built in then it is complex to set up the cloud side of things.
  • Maxes out CPU and RAM so cannot run anything else on the same VM.
  • The solution gives us peace of mind should anything happen to users' data in O365.
There is no out of the box backup for O365 data, should anything happen to users' data in O365 we would be unable to restore.
The app itself is very usable and relatively simple to setup and configure.
So far, after 12 months of use we have not needed to restore data other than a periodic test that it is possible.
We have restored to the same location and to another location and the process was very straighforward.
It does what it says on the tin! The product backs up fine, and we love that it can be left to run without interruption with the occasional review of log files.
Also love that it is simple to use.
Veeam is much more flexible than AvePoint's product, and also easier to use. Actually cheaper too.
Veeam's support team has been excellent.

No, standard. Premium was too expensive
