Considered Both Products
CodeTwo Backup
Chose CodeTwo Backup
Already knowing another CodeTwo product (CodeTwo Email Signatures 365) and also being familiar with their support it was really easy to try this solution.Alone the documentation is very impressive and really easy to understand. We tried Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and l …
Chose CodeTwo Backup
CodeTwo is kind of an entry-level product, and that's all we needed. The other available solutions were really overkill; they have features we didn't need and the price tag to support those features.
Chose CodeTwo Backup
Although Veeam's offerings are somewhat similar in trying to add additional layers of protection, on the Microsoft's default offerings, the CodeTwo product was more situated to do what we wanted which was brick level back up and restores of single files and emails. Veeams …
Chose CodeTwo Backup
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 …
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.

Likelihood to Recommend
Because we have an exchange hybrid environment finding the right product which suited our needs was not easy. But with a product like CodeTwo Backup we are able to back up only specific mail accounts / mails which are mapped to our archive systems. That was not possible with other products we tried.The possibility to be able to choose which account to backup or restore and the option to be able to backup up specific Data on Sharepoint / OneDrive is awesome.Not forgetting how pretty easy the licensing procedure is when purchasing the product.

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.

Cons
  • The possibility to create a support case without having to log in to the portal.
  • Overview of the backup mailboxes or Sharepoint / OneDrive data and their sizes so that one can see how big the mail accounts are
  • The possibility to generate reports of the created backups
  • Possibility to set up mail notifications like alerts, etc.
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.

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
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.

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.
