## Reviews

### "Best cloud backup option for the price~" — 5.0/5

> **Kyle** | *8 June 2017* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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.

### "Reliable and Seamless Data Protection for Microsoft 365" — 5.0/5

> **Abbasi** | *3 September 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The platform is highly reliable and integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 services. I particularly appreciate the automated backup scheduling, which gives peace of mind knowing that emails, OneDrive files, and SharePoint data are consistently protected without manual intervention. The user interface is intuitive, and the recovery process is straightforward, allowing for quick data restoration when needed.
> 
> **Cons**: While the system works well overall, the initial setup and configuration can be a bit time-consuming, especially for users with complex environments. Additionally, reporting features could be more detailed, as sometimes I need deeper insights into backup statuses and potential issues.
> 
> My overall experience has been very positive. Microsoft 365 Backup provides a strong layer of security and business continuity by ensuring critical data is recoverable in case of accidental deletion or corruption. It saves time, reduces stress, and offers confidence that essential information is safeguarded. The solution has been a valuable addition to our IT strategy.

### "Not Enough" — 3.0/5

> **Johnnie** | *27 February 2020* | Law Enforcement | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> Our overall experience was for a shot time.  During that time we had a good experience with Office 365 backup it just didn't have everything we were looking for in a backup system.

### "Cost effective MS365 Backup for Enterprise Organization" — 4.0/5

> **Jake** | *17 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: An Office365 backup that is great value with a quick restore process and multiple restore options that allow for hands off restore directly into the end user's mailbox (e-mail restore).
> 
> **Cons**: Restore process takes some time to figure out if not used often (there is recovery option on the left sidebar, but also a recovery option from the backup as well on the homepage, say Exchange), they seem to offer different interface and recovery options.
> 
> Great experience was able to find what I was looking for when I needed to restore from it, directly into the end user's mailbox in a separate labelled folder, when user lost his contacts.

### "Good service. Needs to evolve to cover newer services from Microsoft" — 4.0/5

> **Amihai** | *3 September 2025* | Plastics | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use, easy to navigate, works well. Good support when needed.&#10;Set it once than pretty much forgot about it apart from periodic testing.
> 
> **Cons**: Cannot produce a report of total number of items backed up so we can compare it with the total number of items we have on our O365 account (Emails, files, etc.).&#10;Getting too many email notifications on grace period that we don't understand and only ignore them.&#10;No solution for backup of information stored on our Azure subscriptions such as Fabric data \&amp; configuration.
> 
> Set it once and apart from testing and using it from time to time, it pretty much works automatically without any need to make changes.
