Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365

Veeam has been a lifeline to our company. What originally started out as just a data protection scenario to protect from data loss because of cloud issues or accidental deletion has become a recurring resource for recovering emails and files associated with terminated users without the need of archiving a physical copy of users profiles to local storage. We have also seen the benefits that come with SharePoint recovery when someone gets too zealous cleaning up a company directory.
  • The product is simple to set up with step by step instructions.
  • Licensing is straightforward and cost effective.
  • Exploring backups and recovery are quick and easy to test.
  • Deleting users can be tricky. Multiple PowerShell scripts must be run to remove data and license from the platform.
  • When a backup for an object fails there is no clear reason why.
  • No full screen mode that I have found so results windows are hard to read.
  • It has completed my initial step towards a comprehensive BDR Solution.
  • C-level employees have peace of mind their information cannot just disappear.
  • Providing an airgap of our information in case of Ransomware attacks.
When I first started with the organization there wasn't much vision to the future of the IT needs. I quickly started to identify shortfalls and Veeam was a major player in closing the BDR/data loss hole. Having the partnership with Wasabi cut my research time for storage and practices to a minimum.
Once set up the console has the pertinent features to create backups and restore jobs without a million options to get confused by. Additionally the PowerShell module that comes with the program has great support and allows for more advanced functionality for those that need it.
Ultimately though setup is a breeze to get through.
One of my favorite features of the Veeam Backup for O365 is the ability to recover single objects without having to wait for the whole store to populate before then going to the specific object. I can follow the tree down to the exact thing and restore that alone or the whole containing folder.
No matter what the issue has bee or how low of a priority a support issue is Veeam Support has quickly and respectfully answered all questions and would not go away until I assured them that the issue was resolved. That kind of diligence is appreciated in the busy world we live in. The security in knowing support is there for me is a major plus for any program.

Veeam pricing can be a major concern to some large companies. If you are wanting to protect your entire organization of 200 people the cost could become prohibitive. That being said it typically will pay for itself in the event of your first "I don't know what happened to my sales folder" call.
