Considered Both Products
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.
CloudAlly by OpenText
Chose CloudAlly by OpenText
We chose CloudAlly because it had both Box and Salesforce as backup options so we were able to only setup one service, rather than two. The price point is also much better than OwnBackup, which was our second option. I like Skyvia for importing data, but their interface is not …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

CloudAlly is a great backup for Salesforce and Box that is cloud based for a reasonable monthly/annual cost. Thankfully, we have rarely had to use our backups, but the service has been very reliable. It is less appropriate if you are not storing a lot in any of the platforms that they backup

Pros
  • 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
  • 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.

  • User interface could be easier to use
  • Backups in Salesforce could be easier to view

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
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 Rating
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.

Return on Investment
  • 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
