User Testimonials
	Azure StorSimple	ConnectWise Cloud Backup
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Onsite storage needs and backing up to Azure. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	ConnectWise SkyKick does a great job on migrations to Office 365. Their technicians are very helpful in planning the whole process, and the tool itself is quite reliable and resilient. Their cloud backup works OK but it does not provide the most friendly or fastest recovery. It also sits on the expensive side as they charge separately for Exchange and Onedrive/Sharepoint backups. Incentivized PM Pablo Magliola IT Operations Manager Read full review
Pros	Microsoft Performance via the SSD drives. Writes back to our Private Cloud via Azure. Easy to Admin via Web client interface. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	ConnectWise Customer Interface for Backups Migration support team Comprehensive backup suite Incentivized Gregory McKiernan President & CEO Read full review
Cons	Microsoft Additional fail-over functionality Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	ConnectWise Response time and [ease] to get hold of Integration with 3rd party apps for billing Incentivized PM Pablo Magliola IT Operations Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Microsoft If I wanted to use just onsite storage the StorSimple device is already paid for. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	ConnectWise No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Microsoft No answers on this topic	ConnectWise Responsive, technically capable, and friendly. Ive always had a good experience working with SkyKick su[[ort. Incentivized Gregory McKiernan President & CEO Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft Easy to use and highly compatible with our MSFT Hyper-V environment Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	ConnectWise For migration purposes, we have chosen SkyKick over and over again. Their tool just works and does a great job with multiple different sources. Their support team is awesome albeit could be somewhat faster sometimes. Regarding cloud backup, it seems like that space is quite commoditized as every vendor offers the same. SkyKick does have some good promotions on migration costs when signing up for cloud backups as well which makes them more competitive than other vendors. Incentivized PM Pablo Magliola IT Operations Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	Microsoft Great Folks on the MSFT Implementation team Great value on year 2 Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	ConnectWise Profitable migration business Profitable backup solution Delivers peace of mind to clients and improves our brand as trusted cloud vendor Incentivized Gregory McKiernan President & CEO Read full review
