Overall Satisfaction with SkyKick

We have used SkyKick several times as a migration tool from on-premises hosted email to Office 365. Microsoft does not make it easy for these migrations and a high level of expertise is required. That's where SkyKick comes in to simplify the whole process. We also use their Cloud Backup service to backup Microsoft 365 data. This addresses the risk of having one single copy of your data when moving it to [the] cloud, as well as relying on a cloud provider to look after it.
  • Office 365 migration
  • Cloud backup
  • Support and assistance
  • Response time and [ease] to get hold of
  • Integration with 3rd party apps for billing
  • Cloud backup
  • Migration tool
  • Helps to reduce costs on specific projects by reducing in-house or [outsourced] technician labor costs.
  • Reduced risk by keeping a copy of your data in their cloud.
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.

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.
