Backup for Microsoft 365

Overall Satisfaction with Spanning Backup

We moved from a 3rd party solution 365 backup solution provided by an MSP, but had no insight, no reporting etc and wanted to 'bring it back under company control' vs the MSP. We saw the option for Spanning at a conference and within a couple of weeks afterwards, we migrated from the 3rd party over to Spanning and never looked back. Integrated with a couple of clicks basically and just needed to set up an AD group and assign the users and we were all set!

Pros

  • Backup
  • OneDrive
  • Exchange
  • SharePoint
  • Azure

Cons

  • Sometimes when you remove a user from a group, the licenses stays active
  • We saved money moving to it, ROI was instantaneous
  • We have visibility where we didn't prior
  • We can change licensing as needed.
It was hands down, one of the easiest solutions to implement overall and has some of the best features also compared to other similar products from many SaaS backup companies. We also integrated the Dark Web monitoring too and it has helped us secure accounts we didn't know had issues, so has improved our security posture too.

Do you think Spanning Backup delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Spanning Backup's feature set?

Yes

Did Spanning Backup live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Spanning Backup go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Spanning Backup again?

Yes

The only issue we have is when we remove the user from the integrated AD group we need to manually go back and remove the licensing, but there is the option to have archived accounts as well for temporary holds in case we want to disable the account in 365/AD, but need to hold on to the backups for a little longer.
