Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365
We are a small business that relies on M365 cloud services for email, collaboration, identity services, and file storage. Before implementing Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365, we were consistently worried about loss of data and even worse, ransomware attacks. After researching the various vendors, we quickly found Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 to be the gold star when it comes to M365 backups. Implementation was smooth. Customer Support was outstanding. Licensing makes sense. And the service just works. As advertised. And as expected. From a return on investment standpoint, our executives bought in quickly understanding that we needed this type of "insurance" to protect our business critical processes. I'd highly recommend Veeam if anyone is looking for backup services of their M365 environment.
Pros
- Implementation was easy. Great instructions and great support.
- Retention policies can be customized to fit your needs.
- Customer Support. Quick to respond and easy to engage.
Cons
- Backup times are auto generated. They can be changed, but that takes a support ticket.
- Backup retention policies can be created, but that option is disabled by default. It should be enabled by default.
- There is a 30 day wait period to reuse licensing. While this is understandable, I would like it to be less. Maybe 14 days.
- Peace of mind protection against accidental deletions and ransomware.
- Continuity of business in case of disasters.
Being a small business that relies on Microsoft 365 for cloud services, we knew we were vulnerable. Our data was safe with Microsoft, until it wasn't. We needed to be able to recover information when business or legal needs came up. After discussing the scenarios that left us at risk, our executives quickly bought into the need for a M365 backup service. From an IT perspective, Veeam was/is a trusted leader in this space. We wanted the best product we could afford. Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 provides that value every day.
We have been fortunate to not need to do a restore beyond testing. But when this feature was tested, it almost seemed too easy. A few clicks and we had what we wanted restored quickly. Great process.
We have not needed to explore the restore options. However, when the time comes, we are confident in Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365's ability to restore in the format we need.
Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 backs up our entire environment. Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive. Nothing is left unprotected. Licenses can be automatically assigned. We don't have to go into Veeam's management portal after configuring the user in M365. We were also able to setup an exclusion group. This was very beneficial. Scheduled reports. Allows me to review license usage and backup progress for the week. They are delivered to me and I don't have to go find them.
First and foremost, Veeam's reputation stood out. They have been a leader in the backup vendors for a few years. That reputation along with recommendations from colleagues sold us on Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365. The other vendors that we did demo's with were lacluster in setup and performance. Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 immediately won us over.
