KeepitMicrosoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
Considered Both Products
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.

Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
We are a complete Microsoft shop. Competitors, we have come across Symantec DLP, that's one. We've come across Nexscope DLP. I've personally migrated customers from Nextscope DLP to Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention. There is McAfee DLP as well, which we have worked with. …
Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
I don't think anything that Microsoft does, I've tried to conversate. We haven't even discussed another option. It does it well. So for us, it's pretty much going to stay where it is for now.
Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is included in the E5 license as part of other purchases, so we've done what we can to get the best functionality from it. We are actively investigating implementing Veronas or Cyera just simply because the on-prem capabilities are not …
Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
Veronis. So we were with Veronis, and we didn't like how they did things, so we went to the Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention.
Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
The licensing is maybe the biggest reason. Purview Data Loss Prevention is included in the Microsoft 365 SKU we already have, so if the functionality is equivalent, it makes sense to save money. We also appreciate how Purview automatically integrates with other Microsoft 365 …
Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
Varonis provided great visibility into file permissions and audit records. It did not provide DLP controls for things like email, and endpoints therefore making it incomplete to provide proactive controls against DLP threats.
Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
Symantec or now? Brocom. Forcepoint, GPV. I'm trying to think of, there's a couple more. I can't think of the top of my head. I would say closer to the bottom then rather than the top. So because of the fact that yes, it integrates well. But in terms of the actual …
Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
We looked at Varonis and there was one other one whose name I don't remember. So I guess it wasn't that good.

Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
Not used any product other than Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention. As I mentioned in my earlier point that we did all the researches for the best suitable product for our environment, but Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention proved to be best and is working as per our …
Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
There are much more comprehensive and granular DLP solutions out there like Trellix and Sophos but ultimately they are expensive and require significant administrative oversight for implementation and deployment. For a company of our size, they are just not economically …
Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
The DLP in Exchange Online and Purview by proxy is okay, but fails to catch a lot of HIPAA-specific information. We supplemented with Barracuda to make up for it. Purview is still better at identification across the entire tenant though, Barracuda is just doing our email DLP.
Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
overall better coverage and integration with Microsoft products. also, it was the most reasonable solution for us.
Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
The DLP was already part of our tenant so we saved money by using it. With others, we would have to built/implement VMs to connect to the tenant, which we were not willing do. Since we had access to it, we decided to stick with it and we are happy with that result
Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
As the customer already had Microsoft Office 365 E5 license, it made sense to implement Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention instead of other products.
Chose Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention
Centralized management, supports Hybrid Environment, Easy integration with Microsoft products and cloud features.

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.

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is well suited to provide a consistent user experience. So all the different products blend together quite well for an office environment. So Teams connects well with Office Outlook. It connects well with SharePoint. So we have a unique connectivity experience in terms of the digital experience of a typical user. And now, with Copilot, it's a great mix and blend that empowers users to adopt AI in their day-to-day office work. And I think that's great.

Pros
  • The initial setup is easy and straightforward.
  • The GUI is very easy to use and you can select and restore the data you need very fast.
  • The restoration of data is very fast.
  • The support team is very helpful in case any problems arise.

  • Extensive library for data content classifiers.
  • Strong integration with Microsoft products allowing effective controls to be applied (e.g. Exchange/M365 for email, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps to control web, SharePoint/OneDrive to apply policies on sharing.)
  • Insider Risk module provides visibility into suspicious activities which may not be detected by regular DLP rules.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Overall, Microsoft DLP is not my number one choice because there's not much flexibility. There's a lot of restrictions and the way they set up rules a lot really restrictive. Thus it takes a lot more time for my team to build the rules and establish the controls as needed. So it's very clunky in that way and they have not improved it over the years, but I know they're trying to get a better, however it takes time because Microsoft, as we all knows, not a really security centric company.

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
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.

Just because it's so easy to navigate and, for the most part, even areas that I don't know about, the support channels are very clear and concise, and they respond very quickly to whatever I need. They'll guide me through whatever I don't understand, and sometimes there are a lot of things added in there.

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.

We are a complete Microsoft shop. Competitors, we have come across Symantec DLP, that's one. We've come across Nexscope DLP. I've personally migrated customers from Nextscope DLP to Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention. There is McAfee DLP as well, which we have worked with. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, definitely, because we don't require another agent to be deployed on Windows machines. It's part of the OS, easy deployment, easy onboarding. So also within email, SharePoint, OneDrive, customers don't have to build any other connectors. It's already integrated. All you have to do is start creating policies, start monitoring them. So the ease of deployment and integration across the Microsoft stack is what we like.

Return on Investment
  • User productivity increase when the users didn't need to manually recreate data when it was lost. Estimation of past cases: 100,000 $ per year
  • Company blackout on disasters: pricelessly :-)
  • Admin cost reduction, no more tape changes and storage costs: 10,000 $ per year

  • From an ROI perspective, being able to have a robust DLP capability within 365 and with eShare, again, providing the defensive depth and keeping data 365 gives both us as well as our customers an ROI by being able to not use third party repositories to share data externally and by keeping data inside of 365. It gives me much more visibility into my data landscape. One of the things we advise our customers to do when they're starting to explore the advanced capabilities of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, for example, is to use that DLP product to monitor and understand the flows of sensitive data within the organization. By being able to look at that DLP, identify those sensitive niche types, and see which transactions occur internally within the organization, I get a clearer picture of what I'm doing.
