Overall experience with Datto Backupify

Backupify just works, once easily implemented it will constantly run repeatedly without fault giving peace of mind for SaaS backups. The support team provides a positive experience should the need arise to raise a support request, as well as the service status board provides reactive information due to outages.

“Datto Backupify can not be trusted to maintain the SLA you sign up to”

1.0
Nov 29, 2021
We have used Backupify for the last 9 years. However since being purchased by Datto, we have noted a significant drop in the level of support. When they have been issues highlighted with the backup system, it seems up to ourselves to chase. However, more importantly, they recently moved all our previous data to a new system. (I can only imagine this is an ongoing integration to Datto since they were purchased). This legacy data can no longer be searched, only downloaded on a user level. These backup systems have two main objectives, IMO, the first is to offer resilience in case of a disasters, and the other is to simply enable backup and recovery operations. We have paid for this service for the last 9 years and now a big part of what we had paid for has been removed. The most frustrating part of this process has been the support and customer service. This issue was highlighted back in March 2021 and after 8 months, many calls and emails they have not changed their view on customers to search this legacy data. The only reply on their side has been to lodge a feature request. The real issue here is that backup providers need to be trusted for the long term. To have a provider such as this drastically change the ability to access previously backed up data shows the lack of consideration and care they give to their customers. It demonstrates the risk where a small company is ignored when Datto Backupify make changes to their service.

Reviewer Insights for: Datto Backupify

Datto Backupify Likes & Dislikes

Like

Single-pane-of-glass view: I can view and restore my items in a single portal, and get an automated report every day at midnight on successes and failures. The initial configuration and setup is very straightforward and then all onboarding is completed via the product itself. The system takes 3 backup points during the working day and consolidates them at the end.

Like

Ability to sync with Google Services Ability to add more users Dashboard

Like

Snapshot time based restore- this is mission critical for us to have backups which show what was in the mailbox at that specific time

Dislike

It's located within a separate portal to the other Datto products, all my other products are in Kaseya One, whereas this is in another portal. Occasionally the product can be throttled by Microsoft accessing the M365 environment which can cause inconsistency in the product and like other SaaS products it's at the mercy of Microsoft and platform changes.

Dislike

The product can be changed, resulting in a detrimental service and there is no recourse The support is very disorganised The product can fail at any time and it is difficult to understand why

Dislike

Slow and sometimes unavailable, have to wait. This is not ideal in a critical situation when we need to restore files ASAP as this could cause customer dis-satisfaction

    Backupify is solid across the board. From the hourly backups to user interfaces, it is relatively easy and straightforward to use. 90% of the time, it just works.

    We chose this product for its integration ability to M365. We use it for Exchange and OneDrive backup. It has become a great tool as we receive requests from HR to "grant access" to new hires that replace leaving employees. If the new hire needs access to the OneDrive folder of the other employee, we just restore that resource to the new user's OneDrive. Super easy to do.
