Overall Satisfaction with CodeTwo Backup for Office 365

We are using it for a couple of clients to back up their Office 365 mailboxes. The client has long-term retention needs for email, and this was a good option for them to back up and keep for long periods of time.
  • reliable
  • Easy to set up
  • Application is lightweight
  • requires local storage
  • notifications
  • need to be able to store in cloud
  • reliable backups
  • long retention
  • archiving
  • Requires physical storage space
  • Does not require much for the app to run
  • Doesn't need a lot of maintenance
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.

Code two works well and will allow you to back up for long retention periods. However, there is a need for local storage. So if you want to keep those backups for long terms, for our client 30 years, then a lot of storage space is needed.
