Microsoft 365 Backup

Pros

Easy to set up. It's self maintaining. A decent amount of restore options. Good price point for the email backup. It works.

Cons

The OneDrive backup could get expensive for small businesses.

Pros

It's ever so easy to set up and works flawlessly. We are a SME with circa 150 employees and a small IT team so needed something that worked 'out of the box'. The pricing is simple and easy to understand also. Support has been helpful and quick when we needed it too.

Cons

I haven't found any cons to the service!

Reasons for Switching to Microsoft 365 Backup

Pros

What I liked most about Office 365 backup is that you had access to the files that you have backuped at any given time. Office 365 backup was not that hard to access and use. I like that about Office 365 backup, but at the time Office 365 backup is not what we were looking for.

Cons

The thing I like the least about Office 365 backup is that it wouldn't backup automatically. We were looking for something that would backup every day on its own at the time and date set up to. Office 365 backup at that time didn' t have that to offer. That was the main reason we didn't keep Office 365 backup.

Pros

Full support of a lot of Cloud solutions, like Microsoft 365, Google, Dropbox. Integration over an Api, alerting over email and dashboard, price is very good, backup features are great! Everything works like expected and we are very satisfied with this tool. Also the option to choose the backupstorage is very cool!

Cons

It's originally an product from Israel, but the are very compliant so no concerns

Pros

Cloud Ally is extremely easy to use and integrates with a variety of services. Its very easy to set it up and then forget about it, but is there when you need it! We use it to backup Office 365 exchange email accounts, Box accounts, and Sharepoint. Its come in handy to recover lost files and deleted emails.

Cons

Sometimes it can be a little difficult finding emails to restore. I also wish that there was a global search option for emails. Currently, you can only search 1 mailbox backup at a time.

Pros

CloudAlly is a simple to use service that allows you to back up your Office 365 files. You can backup contacts, documents, and emails. There is never any fear of losing something important ever again.
I love the fact that there are no limits to how much is stored. They never remove anything so even if you accidentally delete something and don't realize it, it'll always be available in your CloudAlly account. Once you set up the account, you can rest assured the backups happen in a timely manner. You don't even have to go back into the account until you need something.

Cons

The only thing I don't like is that while it does back up your Office 365 files, your subscription does not necessarily cover Sharepoint or OneDrive files. Those are separate subscriptions that you can add to your account. It might not be clear to users at first is my only problem. Still worth purcahsing, subscription is cheap!

Pros

I do yearly a backups for my emails so everything will be safe and can be retrieved easily.

Cons

This option mostly not appear as part of the main GUI, sometimes I cannot find it and I need to look for it.

Pros

You can configure the frequency of the backups, the files that are essential for you and those that you can set aside.

Cons

I do not have against, I allowed myself to recover in time, thanks to the configuration that I had already established

Pros

Great Cloud services! It is easy to set up - backups, daily or weekly. The emails, giving info about the succes of each backup are very helpful. Its price is relatively fair.

Cons

It would be nice to have an option to search emails everywhere, not this is not available. Still this is not that important issue, just small inconvenience.

Pros

This software gives you the support you need in terms of your backup copies. Compatible with different programs to work.

Cons

It is very difficult in the search of the emails.

Pros

The feature I like most of this software is very to use and can retain email and works with all standards - based email servers for back up. Easy to sign up, simple interface and affordable subcriptions.

Cons

There isn't anything that I don't like about this product.

Pros

It's very easy to add cloud services and schedule a backup as well as retention times. Daily status emails indicate success or failure of the backups. Failure messages include steps to resolve the issue. We have successfully restored data on a few occasions. Overall CloudAlly is easy to setup and use. The price is in line with expectations.

Cons

The status messages can be confusing in some cases, with one email indicating you need to resolve an account problem with one of your cloud services, and the next indicating you need to contact technical support to assist with the problem. The billing addresses have changed twice since we started using the software, and we pay a foreign currency fee for payment to a non-US company. It appears to be an Israeli held company at the moment.

Pros

Office 365 backup works perfect. You will not notice it is working in the background. It is easy to setup.

Cons

You might think this must be difficult to set up when you see the word Backup, but you cannot be more wrong.

Pros

1. Easy to use - Easy to sign up, simple interface and clickable buttons

2. Affordable for companies especially for annual subscriptions

3. Data is safe, secure and encrypted

Pros

Very easy to use and manage. Works with regular non-enterprise Google accounts which makes it ideal for individual users.

Cons

The developer is not currently verified by Google which leads to an account security warning

Pros

This product is very easy to set up and very easy to use. They offer a 15 day trial period and its affordable after that! We use it to back up our emails mostly but you can back up contacts and documents as well. Deos exactly what it is suppose to do.

Cons

There isn't anything at this time that I have not liked about this product. We have only used it for the last 6 months so will review again after longer usage.

Pros

Incredibly easy to use, once you enter your tenant credentials, you just select which mailboxes to backup. They take care of the backend storage. And the price is great.

Cons

My only tiny complaint is I wish it would only email you when the backup failed. But the email shows mailboxes failed in red text so it's easy to just glance at it and delete. It has never once failed to backup.

Pros

Very easy to learn, use, and seemed very reliable. The data is supposedly secure through encryption (although I don't know enough about cyber security to confirm how secure). The price is also very affordable.

Cons

No real cons to this software as it does exactly what it says it will.

Pros

Discount pricing, easy to setup and use, menus are straightforward and not confusing.

Cons

Hard to say. It does what it is supposed to do and does it well.

Pros

Easy to implement and use. Set it and forget it.

Cons

Would like a way to back up or download to an external drive or other cloud drives.

Pros

Quick and easy. Restores are very quick. Drill down to just a file (or search) has greatly improved since I first starting using CloudAlly. Support is outstanding.

Cons

sharepoint/onedrive are all listed and just searching for a particular user is not available at this time. I have to scroll through all the backups to find a user I am looking for

Pros

The ease to set it up, indeed as what they were showing in the instruction video, its done in minutes.
But In my opinion, you have archiving options in Office 365, also a good way of archiving and cheaper.
If you accidently remove an email and your deleted items is trashed, you can have another 14 days of recovery, depending on the site settings in Office 365.
I love to see people using backup software but to go back one year because of an employee needed one email, but with good management, archiving options available the need should be less and less.

Cons

The price per user, it looks not expensive, but add it on, 50 users times 30 dollar per year.
You are never without Backups entirely if you are relying on Microsoft services.
SharePoint sites are backed up every 12 hours and data kept for 14 days.

You can not recover one email or file, but its recoverable by requesting a site collection to be restored.
For Exchange services, Microsoft does keep copies, so in case something happens, they can fix this for you.
You can not request this directly, but it's there.

Pros

Easy to use, does what it says. The customer support has been exceptional - staff respond quickly and have answered my questions and walked me through the set up hitch I had. Every contact has been fast and positive. Having such great support makes a big difference to me - I'm a business owner that has to do everything. This is one piece of software that's just easy.

Cons

I would like to be able to back up Google Keep.

Pros

Being an Office 365 school, having any documents sent by this automatically stored in an easily accessible area has been a life saver.

Cons

This does not seem to work one hundred percent of the time so you should not rely on it to work.
