Considered Both Products
CodeTwo Backup
Chose CodeTwo Backup
Already knowing another CodeTwo product (CodeTwo Email Signatures 365) and also being familiar with their support it was really easy to try this solution.Alone the documentation is very impressive and really easy to understand. We tried Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and l …
Chose CodeTwo Backup
CodeTwo is kind of an entry-level product, and that's all we needed. The other available solutions were really overkill; they have features we didn't need and the price tag to support those features.
Chose CodeTwo Backup
Although Veeam's offerings are somewhat similar in trying to add additional layers of protection, on the Microsoft's default offerings, the CodeTwo product was more situated to do what we wanted which was brick level back up and restores of single files and emails. Veeams …
Chose CodeTwo Backup
Code two works well and is pretty easy to use. As long as you have the storage space for the backups it works great. If you lose that local storage however then you've lost those backups. Allowing for me to offload those backups to cloud storage (Azure, AWS) would make this …
Keepit
Chose Keepit
We previously used Veeam to backup data from O365 to local servers. We had other SaaS platforms we needed to include and move from local to cloud backups. While Veeam does have multiple cloud options but compared with Keepit it was overly complicated and less cost effective. …
Chose Keepit
We are already customer for couple of years, we didn't evaluate Keepit next to an Keepit alternative
Chose Keepit
Datto was a contender and does have more daily backups, but it could not backup multiple tenants.
Chose Keepit
One of the main reasons we went with Keepit was that it provided the feature to backup and protect EntraID and that had InTune in their roadmap.
Chose Keepit
First of all, price.
Second, Keepit can do more than competitors, in speed, in consistency,and in functionality
Chose Keepit
Keepit impressed with its ease of use and pricing.
Chose Keepit
Far more straightforward to use than the Commvault solution.
Chose Keepit
Keepit is clear and quite easy to use without too many complex options, which means it covers requirements well and without confusion
Chose Keepit
Ease of use and quick integration. Non ownership of resources. Cheep and reliable storage. Cross cloud secure.
Chose Keepit
Veeam is our current backup supplier for on-prem infrastructure, whilst we are aiming to reduce and move fully cloud in the next 12 months, we anticipate a bigger investment in keepit as this is more favorable for us.
Chose Keepit
Keepit was a much more affordable solution for us.
Chose Keepit
M365 provides built-in backup and restore functionality. However, not all user data is covered and deleted data is only available for a limited time. With Keepit al data can be backed up and stored as long as wanted.
Since Keepit is a cloud-service, management and restores can …
Chose Keepit
no other solutions where evaluated
Chose Keepit
We considered two other products and chose Keepit as it was far simpler than the other two products to set up and maintain.
Chose Keepit
We looked at two other products but keepit beat both on price and easy to use admin and system setup
Chose Keepit
- Cloud to cloud backup solution - backup as service, without need to provision any local resource on-premise or in Azure
- Blockchain based storage means enhanced security against ransomware
- Great value for money and no hidden costs
Chose Keepit
Veeam retrieves all data and sends it to a local storage. The advantage of Keepit is that the data goes directly to their data center without the intervention of an on-premise backup server.
Chose Keepit
Keepit offers the best performance for the money you pay from our perspective. It's based on user count and not on the amount of data which makes it also easy to track the costs.
Chose Keepit
Keepit has a much easier-to-use interface and seems to seamlessly back up M365 without issues or complaints. "stuck" or "failed" jobs don't seem to be an issue it suffers from.

Because we have an exchange hybrid environment finding the right product which suited our needs was not easy. But with a product like CodeTwo Backup we are able to back up only specific mail accounts / mails which are mapped to our archive systems. That was not possible with other products we tried.The possibility to be able to choose which account to backup or restore and the option to be able to backup up specific Data on Sharepoint / OneDrive is awesome.Not forgetting how pretty easy the licensing procedure is when purchasing the product.

The ability to restore within minutes is beneficial and helps productivity; no longer spend hours restoring from tapes. They can show a new start to the interface and portal, and within minutes, they know how to navigate and restore if required. It is very user friendly and easy for understand and navigate.

Pros
  • Takes the unneeded extra technical knowhow out of restoring for lower level IT employees.
  • Like other CodeTwo products, it is very easy to setup and confirm it is working.
  • Allows the ability to restore mail from one users folder to another. A great feature most products like this do not have.
  • Licensing and pricing is very friendly for cost strapped businesses.
  • Has throttling capability to avoid throwing a red flag with your tenant's settings.

  • Cross tenant restores, allows you to migrate mailboxes from one tenant to another.
  • Being able to backup multiple tenants/platforms from a single interface is awesome.
  • The setup and ongoing maintenance is great, articles on how to setup security and gain access to data in a secure way is also a great feature
  • The interface is very intuitive and easy to navigate, it hides an awful lot of power

Cons
  • The possibility to create a support case without having to log in to the portal.
  • Overview of the backup mailboxes or Sharepoint / OneDrive data and their sizes so that one can see how big the mail accounts are
  • The possibility to generate reports of the created backups
  • Possibility to set up mail notifications like alerts, etc.

  • Providing more information on an ongoing restore job. Once you begin a restore or a data import, it seems to be impossible to see which user account that job is tied to.
  • Its job percentages seem to be drastically inaccurate. It will say a job is 76% complete even though it has only restored 484MB of 8GB - but this is just a little annoying and not a real problem.

Great product. Easy to use, does the job without extra overhead.

Keepit just works. No hassle, no need to check it all the time, no need to check up on storage. If they don't raise the price (too much), I don't see any reason to switch.

Usability
The software is very user-friendly, easy to install and configure and the user interface is very intuitive and easy to navigate throughout. We are am able to get restores of our Microsoft Data (on premise and cloud) easily without any hussle. With the help of the marvelous CodeTwo support team we've been able to overcome any obstacles we encountered.

Such a simple solution to use. User friendly, intuitive, processes can be completed in minutes instead of hours with restoring from tape, and requesting the return of tapes from the off site location, thus saving many hours and cost of storage. Also gives the end user a better experience as files can be restored almost immediately.

Support helped us to set up SSO and MFA with our Azure AD Accounts. Once when the backup was failing, they could help us to investigate the reason and find a stale account that was preventing the backup. They are really concerned that the backup works and not only want to close the ticket like other support hotlines.

We previously used Veeam to backup data from O365 to local servers. We had other SaaS platforms we needed to include and move from local to cloud backups. While Veeam does have multiple cloud options but compared with Keepit it was overly complicated and less cost effective. Keepit was a no-brainer in terms of simplicity and having a single 360 dashboard.

  • User productivity increase when the users didn't need to manually recreate data when it was lost. Estimation of past cases: 100,000 $ per year
  • Company blackout on disasters: pricelessly :-)
  • Admin cost reduction, no more tape changes and storage costs: 10,000 $ per year
