Synology Active Backup Suite is well suited for machines running in the same network due to the setup being easier config as well as the network transmission speed. Through the internet is also possible to make a backup but you would be limited to the internet upload speed of your ISP. I believe it is less appropriate to complex networks with several jumps due to configuration.

Any company that deals with the retention of important data should have Keepit to ensure operational security and data confidentiality. In scenarios such as using file servers in SharePoint, Teams, or Google Workspace, it's a tool that offers complete integration and helps save IT a lot of time on security incidents or human errors in file deletion. The fact that it only restores what is not in the folder, or backs up each version of the file given the snapshot date you choose, is fantastic. Toda companhia que lida com retenção de dados importantes, deve ter o keepit para garantir a segurança da opeção e confidencialidade dos dados, cenários como utilização de file server de arquivos no sharepoint, equipes do teams ou google workspace é uma ferramenta que tem total integração e ajuda a poucar muito tempo da TI em incidentes de segurança ou erros humanos na exclusão de arquivos. o fato dele só restaurar o que não coném na pasta, ou fazer o backup de cada versão do arquivo dado o dia do snapshot que você escolhe é maravilhoso.

  • It would be great if they showed delta changes automatically instead of having to manually complete it
  • When completing a cross-tenant restore (which works well) the notifications are hard to understand and use GUID's instead of DisplayNames
  • It would be great if it backed up more than M365/Entra
  • Bulk restore limited to 5k items

Keepit is an awesome product that garantees a result with a simple interface, and a quick configuration integration. Nowadays the service is really good and all requests have been replied to very quickly, and that´s important for our satisfaction. The possibility of multiple points recovery is a plus as well.

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.

The communication from KeepIT was on point, we did the implementation based on very little information as it was so easy to deploy, yet super powerful, it is a great tool.

Synology Active Backup Suite is more user friendly than TrueNAS and setting up all the environment for a Raspberry Pi system, its plug and play makes all the setup less complicated and the configuration more manageable. While TrueNAS is a great enterprise solution with a great community and Raspberry PI is complete open source and do it yourself, Synology Active Backup Suite offers the best of both worlds with and easy to use and upgrade with enterprise and small business options.

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.

  • Cut down on Veeam costs, for non-critical infrastructure.
  • No monthly or recuring costs due to no subscription or cloud fees
  • Easy to use and installation, doesn’t require outside consultations or experts to install and setup.

  • 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
