Overall Satisfaction with Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365

Our organization uses Microsoft Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 to back up and recover our Microsoft 365 Tenant. We did not back up the M365 application data for MS Exchange, Sharepoint, MS Teams, and One Drive earlier, and there was a risk associated with data loss for these MS 365 applications. Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 helped us to mitigate that risk.

Pros

  • Backup and Recovery.
  • Ability to Store Several Restore Points.
  • Selective Email Recovery Possible.

Cons

  • Each Application Has Different Restore Explorers.
  • Limited Backup Functionality for MS Teams.
  • Bulk Mailbox Restore to Alternate Location.
  • Minimizes Business Downtime.
  • Reduces Legal Risk & Cost due to Compliance/Regulatory Issues.
  • Steep Learning Curve.
Due to compliance and regulatory needs, our organization purchased Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 to back up Microsoft Office 365 Application data. We were unaware that Microsoft's in-built backup protection was not long-term retention. Now that Veeam Data Cloud backs up our data for Microsoft 365, we can reliably retain MS 365 data for the long term as per our requirement and recover the data instantly whenever needed.
Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 has a nice Administrative Console to Create Backups, Add/Edit Organizations, and other Configuration Options. One can easily select the Restore point to recover data using the UI. Separate Restore Explorers are provided for MS Exchange, MS One Drive for businesses, and MS Teams.
Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 was a lifesaver when we wanted an email from an ex-employee mailbox who had left the organization some months ago. Luckily, we had a backup of his MS Exchange 365 data, and we searched the emails within the Veeam Microsoft 365 Admin console and recovered the email in time.
Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 provides excellent flexibility for restoring data to Office 365 or on-premises - original or alternate location, ZIP file, PST file, etc. Our organization used this flexibility in several cases, such as when an ex-employee's email could be restored to another person's Office 365 mailbox.
My top 2 features of Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 are: 1. Choice to select mailboxes in Veeam Data Cloud and restore the data at a granular level. This helped me search and recover only the file or data needed, not the entire mailbox. 2. Create a backup policy and set retention rules to meet compliance goals.
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is another good option similar to Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365. It provides better built-in Cyber Security features than Veeam's product. However, the Technical Documentation and Support of Veam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 seems much better than that of Acronis.
