"The solution is stable."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
"Intelligent agent technology."
"The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"I don't know if it is the best or the worst but it's very easy to install and very easy to balance. Sometimes that it's a problem because the installer of these data gets extremely scared because it's so easy. The product is easy to install, easy to balance, and easy to work with. Another really good point is the instant recovery."
"Veaam technical support, from my perspective, is one of the best technical support I've ever engaged with."
"The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."
"It has got all the features. You can restore a mailbox based on an email or a calendar or based on all the emails. A user can also get access to restore the mailbox."
"The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers."
"Veeam is affordable and end-to-end configuration is straightforward, whether you're going from source to destination or vice versa. Retrieval is also easy."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to restore a specific email. For example, if a user has deleted an email and they would like that particular email back we are able to restore it."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"The interface is still slightly clunky and has room for improvement. They do work with us whenever we mention anything that needs to be done or anything that we want. We find that bringing up the management interface is a little slow and not as intuitive as we would like, but it's been getting better as it evolves."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"Looking at how the data is broken down, we can see the total story, but sometimes it's difficult to see how big a particular snapshot is. Across 90 days of snapshots, which one is a particularly large one? Looking at the data holistically could be a lot easier."
"It is a lot more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"There is room for improvement through a further extension of their Office 365 backup platform. In addition, it's still a bit cost-prohibitive to backup NAS. Those would be the two primary areas for improvement."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."
"It requires quite an amount of infrastructure. You have to set up the instance, and you need to know quite a bit about Microsoft 365 authentication. For some customers, it is a challenge."
"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by adding more features with Microsoft teams. We have many files that we are working on with Microsoft teams and there should be more integration and features."
"A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system."
"Pricing is an area for improvement, and I would rate it at five out of ten."
