CodeTwo Backup vs. ConnectWise Cloud Backup

CodeTwo Backup for Office 365 is the rare type of software that works for both SMB's and larger businesses. The built in backup and restore features of Office 365 are too rudimentary and PowerShell based to allow lower level IT people the ability to use them. CodeTwo opens the door to allowing day to day helpdesk employees the ability to assist customers with restore needs. As with anything Office 365, there is a limit on how well is works with the system and CodeTwo does not backup Archive mailboxes so if your organization is one that uses them extensively, you should go into the deal realizing that archive restores would still need to use the built in MS offerings

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.

The software is very user-friendly, easy to install and configure and the user interface is very intuitive and easy to navigate throughout. We are am able to get restores of our Microsoft Data (on premise and cloud) easily without any hussle. With the help of the marvelous CodeTwo support team we've been able to overcome any obstacles we encountered.

Responsive, technically capable, and friendly. Ive always had a good experience working with SkyKick su[[ort.

Code two works well and is pretty easy to use. As long as you have the storage space for the backups it works great. If you lose that local storage however then you've lost those backups. Allowing for me to offload those backups to cloud storage (Azure, AWS) would make this a really good solution.

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.

• It allows us the ability to maintain some lower level IT employees and lower the load on level 3 support...lessening our overhead salaries.
• The ease to use interfaces speeds up the ability to restore data which in turn gives our users a heads up on doing what they need to do without having to wait for fixes/restores.
• The cost of a lost file(s) is almost immeasurable. Having this extra layer of protection is such a benefit, we often mention it to our customers as a benefit of working with us.

• Profitable migration business
• Profitable backup solution
• Delivers peace of mind to clients and improves our brand as trusted cloud vendor
