Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365

We use Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 as our backup for OneDrive, Outlook, etc. It provides for us a better solution and extended time frame for backup and file recovery than the standard 30-90 days of M365 policies, along with peace of mind in case of account takeovers and ransomware attacks. We have around 80 users/mailboxes covered through this service, along with over 30 SharePoint/Teams sites.

Pros

  • Easy set up and policies.
  • Reporting that is understable.
  • Full auditing of access.

Cons

  • Would love for reports to be viewable from emails but understand the security risks behind that.
  • It has allowed us to refine our data protection policies and practices.
  • Clearer policies and practices allows our employees to work with peace of mind.
  • Allows our IT dept to work and remediate issues and restore file access faster, allowing us to focus on different areas of concern.
We had experienced some account takeover issues and had issues restoring some files from our M365 environment, as well as issues restoring all emails from a few inboxes. After talking with our counterparts who were using Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365, we scheduled a Veeam representative to talk at one our our annual meetings of IT professionals. Their presentation, along with personal discussions of our situation and needs with those Veeam representatives, made us confident that Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 was the correct choice for us.
From an IT professional standpoint, the usability is great. The platform and UI is modern without sacrificing functionality or granularity in policy and enforcement. Search functionality for files and emails is easy with plenty of filters available for use.
We have benefited from the capability to quickly restore and recover data when it is lost. We had an employee accidentally delete a folder from a SharePoint site but didn't realize it until a few months later. We were able to use Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 to restore that folder and its files within minutes of locating it.
This ability to restore directly to a location and the flexibility of those options has been helpful. We restored a folder directly to a SharePoint location and have used the service to restore emails to an inbox and even share an email to a different user who needed that information from a previous employee's mailbox.
Our favorite features of Veeam are the search functions for files & emails and the ability to see which backup policies are running, their recent successes/failures of those runs, and the reporting notifications that comes from those runs to our emails.
The setup support we received was extremely helpful. They allowed us to learn as they created the policies and managed the handoff between setup and guided setup very well. This resulted in active, usable policies and us having the knowledge to adapt these as our needs change in the future.

Is definitely recommended for those who don't have a solution for persistent backups of their M365 environment and don't have the budget to purchase that storage through Microsoft directly. As an SMB ourselves, this service fits our needs and our budget well. If a company had lots of extra server space and the budget to maintain that, they may consider other Veeam services to self-host that M365 backup.
