Its either more reliable or more complete
Chose Axcient x360Recover
Axcient x360Recover has WAY easier portal, easier install, better cost than Datto File Protection
Chose Axcient x360Recover
Axcient x360Recover does everything Datto used to do well prior to the Kaseya acquisition. And their support and pricing are much better.
Chose Axcient x360Recover
I use acronis for recovering servers in case of an emergency. Axcient does this as well, but acronis has some better flexibility in my opinion.
Chose Axcient x360Recover
Axcient x360Recover's fixed low-cost all-inclusive model to backup across servers, workstations, Azure VM's, and Microsoft 365 is far lower cost with just as good capabilities (except retention windows) to all others we've evaluated.
Chose Axcient x360Recover
Axcient's x360Recover appliance is functionally similar to Datto's Siris line. Axcient x360Recover devices offer significant cost savings over Siris without losing features or performance. Axcient x360Recover support is also much nicer to interact with over Datto. Monthly …
Chose Axcient x360Recover
In all cases Axcient either offered better RTO, RPO. Managability or pricing.
Chose Axcient x360Recover
The Axcient x360Recover has been a better solution than others for managing data recovery for multiple clients.
Chose Axcient x360Recover
Axcient is more partner friendly than Datto. They listen to our concerns and implement them. They are always trying to make things better. Datto seemed to only want money and only cared about that. They didn't care about the partners at all.
Chose Axcient x360Recover
Axcient x360 is cheaper and as reliable as Datto.
You can also build your own appliance with Axcient x360 and we have had a lot of success with recycling old client's servers to use as BDR appliance.
Axcient support is way better than any backup companies I have ever dealt with …
Chose Axcient x360Recover
Lots of issues with Comet even though the functions are similar with incremental/differential backups
Chose Axcient x360Recover
Enterprise wide usage
Strong customer focus
Product development and future perspective is clear
Product functionality and performance is good
Chose Axcient x360Recover
Reliable, Faster and Cheaper then the competition. Datto gave us a bad taste in our mouth on our very first client. We purchased their recommended hardware, setup and our initial install at a trial clients office with the engineer and one of our techs and when the time came, …
Chose Axcient x360Recover
Security and encryption of Axcient is a top priority .
Axcient have all the tools to provide solutions to different kind of businesses
Best part is it has an MSP friendly console to manage multiples devices and clients at the same Dashboard.
Chose Axcient x360Recover
We've been a Datto partner for many years. For the longest time, Datto was the "Gold Standard" for this type of Business Continuity and Data Recovery (BCDR) solutions. Since our partnership with Axcient, we have completely moved away from Datto... especially now that Datto is a …
Chose Axcient x360Recover
It's another service offered by axcient for different purposes and works well, when it works. The file sync has offered easy file accessibility anywhere for clients that use it.
Chose Axcient x360Recover
Axcient x360Recover has been a more reliable product and more competitively priced as well as provided better support than the Datto product line.
Chose Axcient x360Recover
We have used N-able's offering in the past, and switched to Axcient mainly because of the pricing. We have stayed because Axcient continues to improve on its portal and has never given us a reason to look elsewhere.
Chose Axcient x360Recover
They perform different functions for us. They are all equally useful for what they do.
Chose Axcient x360Recover
I like Axcient x360Recover way better than Datto. I used a few Datto appliances for a couple years and as soon as contracts are up on them, I will be repurposing them to x360Recover. Unitrends MSP is a pretty good product that has a different use case. I use it for hyper visor …
Chose Axcient x360Recover
Dashboard overview is good.

While x360 claims to have more extensive Backup Restoration features, specifically BMR, it does not perform well in real world situations.
Chose Axcient x360Recover
Ease of spinning up the server locally and in the cloud when needed
Keepit
Chose Keepit
We first used Keepit when it was badged as a veritas product and evaluated it against a few different products. We found Keepit really easy to use and hassle free in our testing.
Chose Keepit
Keep it is simpler, more economical, and easy to use. It has a well-made stand and lets you store your files wherever you want. I use it frequently and am immensely satisfied with my choice. The interface is simple and searches are easy; other options were much more expensive …
Chose Keepit
We focused on simplicity, data residency, and cost. Keepit stood out as the best option across all three. We didn’t want to manage or worry about where data was stored, as with tools like Veeam, and we didn’t need the extra features that came with platforms like Rubrik. Keepit …
Chose Keepit
Licence with unlimited size
Sovereign Datacenter
Chose Keepit
When we were comparing the two solutions, Veeam still had an on-premise backup solution for M365 on which we needed to provide our own storage, be it in the cloud or on-prem. This ment extra cost. Keepit was fully SaaS and came with their own storage. After a POC we decided on …
Chose Keepit
Several years ago, we compared Keepit to the cloud-to-cloud backup solutions from Rubrik and Barracuda. ​​At that time, Keepit offered the most features for Microsoft Exchange, including calendar download, task recovery, task download, preview, and PST file download. Keepit …
Chose Keepit
This is the only SaaS backup provider we have used.
Chose Keepit
A bit more complicated to work with; many options and checks to consider.
Chose Keepit
Most coolest feature I like as an admin is that you are able to look native in the webbrowser the backup data files. Other backup SaaS-Solutions like AvePoint doesn't offer this. Also Keepit has a easy to look on product roadmap what new features will come in future.
Chose Keepit
Usability, cost and performance. SaaS based solution. No egress costs to restores or storage costs.
Chose Keepit
Keepit appeared to be less messy in the admin interface compared to AvePoint, and also more easy to setup. AvePoint went too much in sub-menus as Keepit has a more simple approach which led to quicker actions and setup. Also Keepit is based in EU which is a big point for GDPR …
Chose Keepit
We chose Keepit largely because it offered comprehensive Entra ID coverage (including Conditional Access policies, roles, apps, and logs) with predictable pricing and broad M365 workload support, all delivered via a SaaS model that reduced overhead and eliminated on‑premises …
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
The price is better, the installation is much more simple. Keepit simply doesn't require any resources and the maintenance is simply zero. You literally don't need to do anything
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.
Rewind Backups
Chose Rewind Backups
This software Barracuda Backup is easy to use and has an affordable price, however, Rewind Backups gives us automated backups, file restoration, and the incredible rewind function so we have decided to use this software for its complete features and its the one that is also …
Chose Rewind Backups
I considered a Druva time, however, when I started using it, there were so many updates that it was difficult to get up to speed regarding configuration and scheduling of backups, as well as the learning curve became quite steep, compared to Rewind, this I already had …
Chose Rewind Backups
Trello only has manual backup options, which only save raw data in the form of spreadsheet exports--which would be a nightmare to rebuild into new boards! Other Trello backup options were similar. Rewind is the only one I've found that can recover the boards as they were at …
Chose Rewind Backups
To know that I have a backup of all of my items, pages, themes, and so on is quite comforting. Sometimes you make a change and then realize that you made a mistake or that the situation has changed, and you have to go back to the previous state. This is taken care of by …

This is well suited for the backup of different appliances, i.e., Windows, VMware, and other SAAS and IAAS products. We use Axcient x360Cloud to backup the server and workstations, and it makes it very easy to find and recover deleted data in case it is needed. It is less appropriate when we are trying to open the virtual machines of the backup storepoints and the speed is very slow.

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.

If your business (or your clients) use QBO using Rewind is an absolute no-brainer in my book. For a modest monthly cost (less than $10 per month per QBO file) you get cheap insurance against losing data and having to spend endless hours re-creating everything. When we use QB Desktop we back up the client QB files for the same reason. Now that things are increasingly moving to QBO we have the same option through Rewind.

Cons
  • The only thing missing is the ability to cancel a backup as they appear to just continue to try to run even after rebooting the BDR and endpoint until a failure finally occurs.
  • The only other ask would be to expand support to Linux operating systems.
Read full review
  • 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.

  • In several sections, the design does not appear to be well-thought-out.
  • It might take a long time for a page to load at times.
  • There are still certain limits when it comes to data backups for Shopify merchants.

We've been using Axcient over the years and have worked with their development team to suggest new features, something that you would not normally be able to do with other companies. They listen to what we have to say and understand that we are a business, just like them. It's great to know that someone will always be there for you when you need them.

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.

Usability
It is overall very easy to install and get working. Install the application, select the drives you want to backup or leave blank and backup all drives. It starts to run immediately. You configure all the backup retention and how often to run in the portal so once you deploy the agent it is very easy to get started. After the backup completes. The portal will perform a test boot and auto verification of the image.

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 is pretty good. The issue is that they don't have any SLA so they get to you whenever. Though, if you hound them, they usually bump you up in the chain and get back to you. Their techs are fairly knowledgeable. Occasionally the first level support isn't the best, but once it bumps up to the next level, they are good.
Read full review
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.

Implementation Rating
I had the miss fortune to go back to this device. Alot has changed since the first time I had used it. Now instead a full deployable network appliance, you have to download a preconfigured virtual machine that will only run on an ESXi server. What about Hyper-V? I have many clients that are Hyper-V only. I setup a test lab to get this thing up and running and it has been a nightmare to say the least. Will be looking at other options.

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.

Reliable, Faster and Cheaper then the competition. Datto gave us a bad taste in our mouth on our very first client. We purchased their recommended hardware, setup and our initial install at a trial clients office with the engineer and one of our techs and when the time came, the engineer was unable to get their own product to work as expected. Luckily for us, we already explained to the client that this was a trial so we were not held accountable but if this was a live instance, it would of been embarrassing
