Light touch and always available **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 01, 2019 **What do you like best about Backupify?** The fact that Backupify is an incredibly light touch for myself and my team to manage. We can always rely on it to work the way it is meant to with little required on our part. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** There's not a whole lot to not like, honestly. The restore might be a little "awkward" because we are a G-suite shop and its not like restoring a pst or ost, but overall its a solid platform. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are ensuring business continuity by backing up our G-Suite and Salesforce instances, two of our core applications. At this point the main benefit we have realized is that we are confident we will not have any disruption in our data. ### 2. Backupify is a great solution for cloud apps **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 17, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** We use Backupify with GSuite to backup our corporate data. It was very easy to setup, and it's run for >2 years with the lights out - no daily/monthly administration required. We have decided to require IT to access backups, so our users don't use the product at all. That decision was really made to simplify rollout, as we have had very few reasons (a couple a year) so far to restore any data. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** This is more of a statement for GSuite rather than Datto Backupify, but it's not always possible to backup/access new(er) applications - like Hangouts Chat. Previously we could access employees' chats from the GMail chat folder (which was saved) but Hangouts Chat doesn't do that. So now we don't have that data backed up. I believe Datto said that Google has not published adequate APIs such that they can back it up yet (or at least last time I checked). **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** It's a very good solution, hopefully the Cloud providers / data holders continue to allow this method of backing it up. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Backing up corporate email off of the Google Cloud. We can restore deleted emails and Google Drive files after an employee deletes them. We have not experienced significant GSuite downtime, but it's good to know that during a prolonged GSuite outage we could download recent saves of critical files from Backupify and access them locally with MS Office. We have also had to use the ability to look at backups to review customer communications with former employees or employees out on leave. It would also be useful if a manager needed to verify an employees work in certain specific HR situations. ### 3. A company you're glad is around but hope you never need to use **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2019 **What do you like best about Backupify?** Backupify makes data recovery easy and less stressful. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** I do which the UI was more friendly, I would like to be able to view the users list without being navigated away from the page. I would also like to view the entire user list at once. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** We've recovered files that have been deleted. It's a good insurance policy to have. ### 4. Frictionless experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2019 **What do you like best about Backupify?** The simplicity, intuitiveness and power of the backup solution. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** There isn't anything I don't like other than would like more eDiscovery options. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** Give it a try!! **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Data protection for GSuite accounts ### 5. So far, Backupify seems like an easy and comprehensive way to secure cloud data **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2019 **What do you like best about Backupify?** Backupify's web-app layout is easy to navigate, and accessible from any location. On top of all of the obvious backup features, Backupify can also be used as an excellent discovery and project hand-off tool. There are times in which a manager leaves the company, but their project is on-going. Backupify allows us to transfer all correspondence and files to a new assigned manager with ease. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** The web-app can be slow at times. This was after very little use, so this could change as time goes one. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Data security. And as stated above, Backupify also assists with discovery and project continuity. ### 6. Easy G Suite Backups **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** Favorite feature has to be the auto-addition of mailboxes into the system. We have things split out by OU to backup critical mailboxes, but not backup everything. The "set it and forget it" aspect means I don't have to manage the system day to day. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** I have not seen the 2.0 interface yet, but find the current interface a little clunky. Everything on the page works, and is self explanatory. But it's missing some modern look and feel. But I hear that 2.0 helps solve this. We will be migrating our account soon. The size calculation used when exporting data out of Backupify is funky. Especially on Docs. I think it's calculating size based on everything the user has access to, and not just the files that the user account owns. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** Not only do you get near real time backups, they also give you an easy way to archive out mailboxes. And in a standard format. And all the processing happens on their end. No need for crazy workarounds to get single file mailbox exports. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Data retention. With SaaS apps, getting backups is not the same as just adding a drive, or system to the rest if your backups. We also need emails to stick around after accounts have been terminated on the G Suite account. We have also been able to recover lost Google Docs, that otherwise would have been gone forever. ### 7. Solid product, Easy to use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Commercial Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** Easy to configure and set up. Easy to get items restored. Backup points are adequate for most purposes. It's pretty straightforward which means faster setup for the technicians. A "low touch" service which means better margins. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** Current pricing structure of tiers doesn't work for all customers. I do understand that this will be changing soon to a model based on pure number of mailboxes. That is much more MSP friendly and easier to discuss with the client as it matches with how we bill them for other services. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Educating customers about lack of O365 backup and need for additional protections. Has allowed us to be able to talk about additional layers to a security posture. ### 8. Nice features and fair pricing. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** I like the features and the interface. It is better than working with Google Vault for the occasional file/email retrieval when an employee deletes something. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** The interface can be a little slow at times. Large restores can take days, but it's not something we do very often. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** It's a good solution if you need a 3rd party backup of your user data in the cloud. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** This provides us a 3rd party backup of our G Suite user data. We can also remove accounts and keep an archived copy of the user data without having to keep the G Suite license active. ### 9. calhoun school backupify experience **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2019 **What do you like best about Backupify?** it's set it and forget it. we haven't had any issues. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** the dashboard is incredibly slow to load at times. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** preservation of data/information for faculty/staff/students. it's helped us to troubleshoot student "issues" as well as recover emails/files for faculty/staff/students ### 10. peace in mind for my G suite apps **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** I love the fact that we can have multiple daily restore point for any g suite app like gmail, google docs etc.. from cost-saving aspect, it's great we no longer have to keep our google mailboxes and we can just delete them since they're archived in backupify for no extra cost. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** until recently backupify had a delegation feature which was super usefull for us and now was deprecated, the good news is that i understand they will add it back soon. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** go for it, great ROI **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** the option to restore any G-suite data with daily revisions, also it allows us to save a lot of money going forward by deleting instead of suspending the google mailboxes. ### 11. it was good while it lasted **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Environmental Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 05, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** There was a lot of features that were easy to control on your end instead of administrators. user-friendly means you are not required to wait for admins and are able to set yourself up through verification. What I like best was managing and accessing my own files without the typical admin request. Even with late submission or errors, people can make edits. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** There was not enough work done around sharing files, this means all the work and data done was able to be stored but the lack of user-friendly options limits how much and how you can share. There are not enough ways to adjust some setting that would make the platform more personalized. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** I always recommend having a good broadband connection so that files can upload and download smoothly without corruption and have updated software systems. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** There was a lot of fun features that each person work to meet their needs and have personalized results. We are able to create more collaborative work among different types of teams to have one complete product at the end. ### 12. Constantly fails at most important thing for backup: connectivity! **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dave L. | Director of Product Engineering & IT, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** It runs in the background. Data is encrypted. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** Regularly disconnects my users from backup and requires them to reauth even though the passwords were automatically generated. This means unless I'm actively monitoring the last sync date people are silently failing at having their laptop backed up. This is a CRITICAL failure because it defeats the whole purpose of having silent backups. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** Look into another solution like Backblaze or Crashplan **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trying to ensure offsite regular backups of employee laptops ### 13. Easy and quick restore **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 17, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** Backupify keep excellent historical archived deleted users mails and Onedrive files. Making it easy to restore forgotten lost files of users who have left the organization. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** Being able to sort the users by who are archived and who are users that sharing the resources. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** Helen Keller International **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having the ability to restore users mailbox in office 365 down to the individual mail. Great archive tool for user who have left the organization. ### 14. Glad to know my work's never gone forever! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospitality | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** I like having peace of mind that if I delete something, it’s not gone forever. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** Nothing to dislike. It’s pretty straightforward - everyone needs backup. I’m just the recipient of the product’s benefits. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Started a new job. My IT department got me set up with my predecessor’s Google Drive account via Backupify. Immediately I had ownership access to all their spreadsheets, webinar presentations, etc … even her private notes for upcoming quarter strategy. Could not have been more helpful when taking ownership over the role and training. Also, it’s good to know as I delete docs and reorganize everything for the role that everything is recoverable. Peace of mind. ### 15. Simple, Secure, and Necessary Software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Plastics | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 10, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** I started a new job and received the drive account of the person before me. Had everything in one place - documents, calendar events, etc. Allowed me to literally pick up where she left off. Couldn't be happier. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** I heard the software had some issues in the past but I haven't encountered anything of the like. I believe they've been bought by a new company (Datto) and have done some serious updates. Customer support was very helpful. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can search both my drive and my predessesors in one place, which is super useful. Also,while cleaning out her drive I accidently deleted a forcasting spreadsheet ... Oops! Good news, backupify restored it in moments. Love it. ### 16. Broken interface rarely works, stay far away. **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** You can actually see the subject line of email, neat. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** Restores fail, exports fail, classic interface is completely broken and does nothing. Their support is run through a separate site which you must create a separate account to use. No help or contact section anywhere inside your actual Backupify account. This product is managed by clowns on roller skates, under no circumstance should you purchase this product. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** You can pretend you have a third party backup of your Office 365 messages, of course none of it works but you can at least pretend it does. ### 17. datto systems **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** fastt booot up times, not very intrusive but its easy to sell cool conventions **What do you dislike about Backupify?** very very expensive hard to but mark up on products that are already so expensive **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** get it but expensive **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** datto devices have alot advantages with the ease of install and use through admin portal ### 18. Great Offsite Backup Solution **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eric C. | Sr. Network Administrator / IT Project Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 01, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** Fully managed offsite 24/7. Email alerts for issues or requests are spot on. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** The need to contact your IT Partners to do a restore. And the time it takes to do a restore, sometimes its alot of back and forth with them. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** If you want a backup solution managed offsite and do not see the need for restores often then Datto is a great fit. Not much to worry about. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Used as our main backup solution and Disaster Recovery. Full managed by IT Partners. Very small footprint on prem. ### 19. Quick Access, Excellent customer service and tech support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** effortless maintain, easy to restore backup item, good tech support team **What do you dislike about Backupify?** I feel it's hard to search resources online, modification isn't available. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** backup for O365 Products ### 20. Good **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hardik G. | Software Development Engineer, Internet, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** I am happy with this. It helps me restore the back ups. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** User friendly , takes little bit more time and is somewhat not upto mark **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can store up to great data ### 21. Nearly unusable **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 18, 2017 **What do you like best about Backupify?** The fact that there's a cancel my account option. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** Where to start? Support is non existent which straight up in and of its self makes this product a no go for any self respecting business. The interface is SO SLOW and SO TERRIBLY designed. Don't take my word for it, sign up and try it out, it's absolutely horrendous! In general it's a horridly confused interface that is slow (like you click login and it takes 10 seconds before there's any indication that clicking the login button has worked, it only gets worse from there) and things just don't seem to work. I setup a backup job, authorized it's access in office 365 and user accounts were displayed in backupify, I told it to just automatically backup all accounts, sweet happy days. Log back in the next day to be greeted with the setup a job page, it was literally like I had just started a new account from scratch.. not happy and when I chased this up with support, I pushed on for a little over a week of them not returning my calls, not following up on my emails (other than the automated responses) and at the end of the day when someone finally got back to me (by email and not phone call which was requested about a dozen times) all they had to say was "looks like you haven't setup a job" - no shit sherlock! anyway, avoid this product like the plague. Maybe it'll come good but why bother when there's better solutions already out there. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** Don't commit to it until you've trialed it. I'm in a situation where I was forced into using this product and it is the absolute worst thing I have used in a long time. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Backupify doesn't solve problems, it introduces them. Time is money and the time you'll burn trying to get this solution to work makes it not worth choosing over one of the many other solutions out there that whilst might be a little more expensive it's like the old saying goes: you get what you pay for. ### 22. Datto Drive Review **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Max A. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2017 **What do you like best about Backupify?** The best feature is the security/permissions. DattoDrive provides a much more "enterprise" class model for sharing files and folders than other cloud based file sync services (in particular Dropbox). Files and folders can be password protected. Access can be set to expire after a certain number of days. You can have multiple levels of sharing, that is you can share one folder with a person or group and then share one of the sub-folders with a different person or group. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** The mobile agent is incomplete. It is not professional looking **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** File sharing for a small office ### 23. Very important for any business that's dependent on a cloud storage solution **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** My backup has another backup and in case my storage solution fails I can always retrieve it. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** The pricing could be a bit better. I would also want better guarantees about my data backup. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** Compare with Spanning backup and compare the different features both of these services differ on. Backupify has been an industry leader so it is very reliable, however. The only problem is that you may not need a license for each employee in the company, and Backupify should make it easier to debundle licenses to allow being judicious in terms of number of licenses to buyy. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Reliability as well as data protection. ### 24. Good Product Room to Grow **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** Very simple and easy to use backup tool that covers most of your backup needs for Google Apps. Easy interface and requires little training to use. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** I was told they were integrating with Team Drives but haven’t heard about the release. We don’t utilize them yet but will want that feature once we do! **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are backing up Incase of a crypto lock scam or destructive employee but have found it very useful to transfer files when someone leaves. Works much better than just what Google offers ### 25. This is an excellent program **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** It is very user friendly. I never have any problems with glitches and it was very easy to learn **What do you dislike about Backupify?** Sometimes I wish the capabilities of the software were expanded **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am ensuring that my important projects and information are never lost ### 26. DATTO BACKUPIFY **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** I like that it integrates with Vuetify and Vue X makes my job so much easier to do. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** I dislike that it's still in its early stages. But overall it's awesome **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps with our verification issues on forms etc ### 27. Great backup service **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 12, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** The portal is very easy to access and find out what folders you are currently backing up. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** The pricing per agent has changed over the past months. It's getting quite expensive. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** back-up service for all of our files ### 28. The best solution every time. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Allen M. | Onsite Technician, Computer & Network Security, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2017 **What do you like best about Backupify?** I love the combination of bare metal image backups over a network interface. This has been Datto's claim to fame and has worked wonders for our clients. The web interface is easy to use but does not leave out features and is in no way clunky. You get all the information you need right on the dashboard. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** The local storage capacity could be higher but this isn't a big deal because Datto's cloud storage has plenty of room. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** Get it. It's the right decision. Datto is less expensive than its competitors. Datto offers better performance than its competitors. Their products have really wowed everyone we've sold them to and we'd choose them over Carbonite ten times out of ten. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** While we have yet to resurrect a machine with the image, the backup suite has been extremely helpful in retrieving files that would otherwise be lost. ### 29. Datto Backupify for peace of mind **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2017 **What do you like best about Backupify?** Datto Backupify allows for backup of Office 365 sharepoint and team sites which is nice to have. For small companies who want to store all their data on office 365 this provides an extra layer of protection in case data gets corrupted or accidentally deleted. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** While email restoring works well, the sharepoint file restore seems pretty messy. The folder views are not user friendly. The user interface, while simplistic is not very intuitive. If you want to manually manage users, moving them back and for is time consuming and can get confusing if a user is being backed up or not. Lastly, the whole backupify site is very slow. loading pages can take a long time and sometimes require a reload. This is just from my experience. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** For the price, it gets the job done and provides the extra peace of mind in case something goes missing. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Peace of mind Office 365 email and data backup for all of our Office 365 customers. ### 30. Datto Drive **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Renewables & Environment | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 17, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** i like the ability to share documents with fellow staff members, whether in same office or working remotely **What do you dislike about Backupify?** the software was recently installed in our office, and initially it is taking a while to load documents. It seems to be speeding up though. one the software was installed, my computer now requires me to login to open every individual document. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** good software of its kind, a bit slow to upload documents in the beginning **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** it enables our office to cohesively work on documents and share information in real time. is helpful in keeping track of time sensitive work ### 31.

Convenient **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2018 **What do you like best about Backupify?** Datto Drive is a very convenient and useful tool to have. Whether in the office or on the road, I always have access to my docs. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** When first implementing datto backups it can bog the system down and make it slower. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Accessibility ### 34. Full-featured backup for Google Apps for Education **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 16, 2017 **What do you like best about Backupify?** Backupify provides full backup for every element of a Google Apps account: Mail, Drive, Calendar, Contacts, and Sites. It allows us to keep all of our critical data in Drive without the need for a backup server. We can set which accounts are backed up and which aren't very easily. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** The queuing for restore can take a long time, although Datto has told us they can work with us to speed up critical retrievals. Bulk account adds and changes are beholden to what Google themselves allow, so bulk adds and changes generally have to be done with .csv's emailed to their support, which so far has worked for us. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** Be aware that Google Apps for Education has unlimited file storage. We tried to go with a limited data plan with Datto, and went way over within 6 months. Their Unlimited user/Unlimited storage plan is more expensive, but perfect for us because Google at this point in time does not have settable drive quotas. Also be aware that Datto by default wants to back up every account in every OU. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are backing up all of our critical data, including e-mail, without the use of physical backup servers or network storage devices. ### 35. The "set it and forget it" backup solution and piece of mind we needed! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Steve B. | Business Functional Analyst, Salesforce, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2016 **What do you like best about Backupify?** We are using the Backupify for Salesforce product line. We're very happy with the incredibly easy setup process, and the fact that we can also backup all of our sandboxes without having to pay for additional licensing on top of our production costs. Whenever we've had questions, the support team is very fast to respond, friendly, and knowledgeable in the product to help us. We haven't had to do many restorations yet, but in testing out the restore and download features, they were also very easy to use. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** We have no dislikes with the service thus far! **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** Think of it like an insurance policy, because you'll undoubtedly get questioned on whether the spend is really necessary "because we've never needed anything like this before". Don't wait until after you need a backup and it's too late. The first time you have to use it, it will probably justify it's ROI on the spot, especially if it's to fix a large problem. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Backupify is an insurance policy to solve a business problem we never hope to encounter: data loss or corruption. Our Salesforce CRM is the heatbeat of our sales and service teams, and should we ever have any data loss or corruption, or even if someone just makes an "oops" in the system, we have peace of mind knowing that we can easily restore the data needed from a Backupify backup. ### 36. Perfect for Google Apps **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eric L. J. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2016 **What do you like best about Backupify?** We have been using Backupify since September of 2010. The integration of Backupify into Google Apps is seamless and inexpensive. Every backup we've pulled for archival purposes has been easy and painless. The social media backup is just a plus. The tech support can take a bit to get back to you for certain issues, but they have always gotten back to us in the right amount of time correlating to the urgency of the issue. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** Backupify was purchased by Datto, I do believe. I noticed that some of the personal touch left, but we only notice because we are a small business that thrives on giving a personal touch to all that we do. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** We can only give testimony to the ease of use for Backupify to backup Google Apps and Social Media accounts. If you have something else to backup, please contact Backupify or look into other reviews. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Even Google can go down or employees can delete items, not to mention all of the malicious activity on the Internet. We use backup as an easily downloadable archive and for worst-case scenarios. Backupify fulfills this need and at a very reasonable cost. ### 37. My personal Datto review. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joe Z. | Network Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2016 **What do you like best about Backupify?** The cloud transfer and support are on top of their game. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** I don't like the fact that after a client is installed, you have to reboot your servers. It's a little bit of a nuisance. Essentially you're just restarting services/starting new services. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** better client installation or no installation. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Backup for the agency I work for. Benefits include onsite storage and cloud storage. Redundancy is key! ### 38. My Trial Experience with Backupify **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2016 **What do you like best about Backupify?** Backupify is a cloud-based data backup provider. I like that it compiles my user data from my top most utilized online applications (Google apps and Microsoft office 365) and stores it in its own system. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** As a trial user, there is nothing I dislike about the platform. Backupify is simple and easy to use. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** Backupify offers a great service to its users. The data migration process is simple. This program is definitely worth a try. However, I am wary to pay for the service. **What problems is Backupify solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am in search of an excellent, all-encompassing backup tool. ### 39. Easy Migration from One Domain to Another **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nick T. | VP, Head of Sales & Customer Success, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2013 **What do you like best about Backupify?** The actual process of Migrating from one company email domain to another was relatively easy, for individual accounts. **What do you dislike about Backupify?** My colleague used the free, individual version. Then when we paid a good deal of money to migrate the entire company, the staff was very unresponsive...which led to over a week's delay in the start of the migration process. The end result was that the entire migration process was an absolute mess. They ended up giving us a refund on the money we paid them. **Recommendations to others considering Backupify:** It's a great service from a user perspective. The actual act of migration was very easy, but be careful about paying for the enterprise version because support can be lacking, and their enterprise product is really not something that should be publicly available. ## Backupify Discussions - [What is Datto Backupify used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-datto-backupify-used-for) - 1 comment - [View Backupify pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/backupify/reviews?page=4§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-12+20%3A51%3A28+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=e48ccbee-411e-41db-bc52-6de290fa142e&secure%5Btoken%5D=d240ccbd810b71ef7bf9a596b565397882e133be9dffc052f01e40dff149bebb&format=llm_user) ## Backupify Features **Functionality** - Real-time Sync - Storage Capacity - Remote Backup - Versioning - Mobile Backup Application **Functionality** - Real-time Sync - Storage Capacity - Remote Backup - Versioning **Platform Basics** - Reporting - Management **Management** - Disaster Recovery - Remote Backup - Storage Formats - Scheduled Backups - On-Demand Restoration **Compatibility ** - Storage Formats **Compatibility ** - SaaS Application Variety - Storage Formats **Platform Data** - Dashboard - Storage Insights **Reporting** - Activity Monitoring - Documentation - Alerts/Notifications **Management** - File Sharing - Security Standards - Encrypted Storage **Management** - File Sharing - Security Standards - Encrypted Storage **Platform Additional Functionality** - Cloud - Security and Authentication - Bulk User Management **Security** - Data Encryption - Security and Compliance - Deduplication **Agentic AI - Office 365 Management** - Cross-system Integration **Agentic AI - SaaS Backup** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Agentic AI - Online Backup** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making ## Top Backupify Alternatives - [Druva Data Security Cloud](https://www.g2.com/products/druva-data-security-cloud/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (727 reviews) - [Cove Data Protection](https://www.g2.com/products/cove-data-protection/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (424 reviews) - [Veeam Data Platform](https://www.g2.com/products/veeam-data-platform/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (682 reviews)
