Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365

We were looking for a Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) solution designed to protect and recover data across Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive for Business, and Teams. The Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 solution aligned with our goals of enhancing data recovery and security by maintaining ownership of Microsoft 365 data through a third-party backup provider

Pros

  • Fixed licensing model (no separate storage fees
  • We appreciate the speed of recovery

Cons

  • Granularity of recovery items
  • Two different applications. One for server backups and one for M365 data. Needs to be one pane of glass.
  • Upfront billing model eliminates variable storage fees and simplifies budgeting, which aligns well with public sector procurement practices and long-term financial planning.
  • Agile recovery capabilities and granular backup management reduce downtime and administrative overhead.

We were trying for an all in one solution. Unfortunately, while Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a great solution for our Teams, Outlook, OneDrive and SharePoint datam there is a separate application for server backups. Rather than one solution, we would jump between the two to cover all the bases.
Knock on wood, we have not had any incidences that have required us to quickly recover data either accidentally or maliciously. We can state that our backups have been tested and we have run disaster recovery scenarios testing the fidelity of our backups. These have all been completed with no issues.
