Onsite storage needs and backing up to Azure.

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.

• 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

• Additional fail-over functionality

• 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

If I wanted to use just onsite storage the StorSimple device is already paid for.

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.

Never had a single issue with availability, what you would expect from this type of provider, it is perfect.

No issues to report at all, pages are responsive, we have no other integrations, it is all good.

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.

Easy to use and highly compatible with our MSFT Hyper-V environment

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.

It has been fantastic, never mised a beat and restore test are always perfect.
