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).”
JU

Jake U.

Business Technology Analyst

“The comprehensive, automated daily backups cover all M365 services, including Mail, Teams, and SharePoint, with unlimited retention. When disaster strikes, the smart granular and point-in-time recovery is lightning fast, allowing non-destructive restores in a few clicks.”
BM

Brendan M.

IT Director

“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.”

Pros

“Once configured, it has delivered consistent backups without issues, and the combination of scheduling, versioning and notifications makes it feel like excellent value for the price.”
JE

Jamie E.

Analyst

“As well as using iDrive for remote access of my data when I'm on another device on the go, I have fully retrieved my data when a device failed (PC and laptop), without the need to get a tech to pull the data out for me.”
KC

Kimberly C.

Certified Online Business Manager

“Overall, it has some lacks in the storage like syncing, fast access. But, at the same time the pricing is good”
MA

Cons

“When restoring data, especially from SharePoint, OneDrive or Teams, the search interface and functionality is awful.”
AK

Andy K.

Director

“The real problem is that during that time, there was no way for the end user, or for me as the support engineer, to see any change in status...”
JM

Jeff M.

Technical Operations Lead

“It's not easy to troubleshoot backup errors, if it fails there's no clear explanation of the error and no guide for troubleshooting the error.”
LZ

Luca Z.

CTO

Cons

“My home internet service maxes out at 10mpbs upload speeds, which was making my initial backup of over 300gb of files take a long time.”
RB

Robert B.

Host, Producer

“My upload speed to iDrive cloud backup is unusually slow, causing significant delays in backing up my files.”
HL

Haixun L.

Development Expert

“Barely acceptable upload speed of small files and terrible upload speed of files over few gigabytes.”
