I set this up in minutes and barely think about it now. I've had to do a few restores and I regularly test it, and it passes with flying colors. What else could you ask for.
Easy to set up. It's self maintaining. A decent amount of restore options. Good price point for the email backup. It works.
The OneDrive backup could get expensive for small businesses.
Thank you for submitting your review

Backup of Microsoft 365 Onedrive, Sharepoint, Email, Teams to a different storage place then Azure. Default backup software of our Modern Workplace proposition
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!
It's originally an product from Israel, but the are very compliant so no concerns

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.
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.
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.

I am so satisfied of this software. Everything works like expected and we are every satisfied with this tool.
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.
There isn't anything that I don't like about this product.

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.
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.

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.
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!
Thank you Ms.Sulllivan for your review.

Office 365 backup works perfect. You will not notice it is working in the background. It is easy to setup.
You might think this must be difficult to set up when you see the word Backup, but you cannot be more wrong.
Thank you

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.
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.
Thank you for submitting your review of our Office 365 solution.

Luckily I have not needed to use the backups, but it seems to be doing the job.
Easy to implement and use. Set it and forget it.
Would like a way to back up or download to an external drive or other cloud drives.

I'm very satisfied with the tool.
I do yearly a backups for my emails so everything will be safe and can be retrieved easily.
This option mostly not appear as part of the main GUI, sometimes I cannot find it and I need to look for it.

Intuitive, flexible and fully functional. These are the words that aptly described my experience with CloudAlly's excellent backup service. Prior to using CloudAlly, I had tweaked and worked with a couple of online backup services which at the best, required a medium to long term learning curve. Signing up to CloudAlly's service as a first time user, the simple, intuitive dashboard that clearly...

I had used other backup solutions but wanted something more secure and reliable. After doing some research online, I stumbled on CloudAlly and I almost dismissed it until I saw the 15 day free trial. So I knew I had nothing to lose, and if anything, 15 days is long enough to know whether this is a great backup app or another joke. So, I proceeded to sign up, and it was so easy because unlike many...
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

Daily backups of all cloud services.
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.
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.
Thank you

Having migrated to Office 365 last year, we needed an easy to implement a backup solution for our Office 365/Exchange email for our 45 person charity. CloudAlly just works... It takes less than an hour from purchase to completion to configure everything, which is exactly the kind of solution I was looking for. They have been constantly upgrading their software and making improvements, and they have really worked with us pricing wise being a small charity. When you need to restore a mailbox or a folder or download a PST archive, it literally takes 5-10 clicks from login to done. Easy is good.
Discount pricing, easy to setup and use, menus are straightforward and not confusing.
Hard to say. It does what it is supposed to do and does it well.
Thank you

We use CloudAlly to backup executive mailboxes. It's VERY easy to setup and use. We've done folder and item level restores just to test and they work fine.
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.
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.
Thank you for submitting your review.

Ensures your cloud based data (Google account) is backed up and safe
Very easy to use and manage. Works with regular non-enterprise Google accounts which makes it ideal for individual users.
The developer is not currently verified by Google which leads to an account security warning
Great!

I find the product easy to use and the support I have received has been outstanding. When ever I am having an issue or cannot find something, support is quickly there to resolve or assist me. Searching on OneDrive/SharePoint is difficult still at this time but plans to resolve this is underway. I would definitely suggest CloudAlly to other customers.
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.
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
Thanks.

Really easy, recommendable for admins that want a quick, solid solution for its users.
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.
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.
Thank You.

Being an Office 365 school, having any documents sent by this automatically stored in an easily accessible area has been a life saver.
This does not seem to work one hundred percent of the time so you should not rely on it to work.

I like that it does the backups on its own daily.
I think it would be nice to have clear instructions on how to retrieve the backup if necessary.

I was hesitant at first, didn't want to risk losing my data where I might not be able to retrieve it ever again! But, I was pleasantly surprised, one, because it was so simple to do the back up. Once I got my feet wet by backing up my gmail files, (it took a minute!) I checked to see that all was ok and let it rest for 24 hours. Later, I found just as I had set the schedule, my activities of the...
I loved the ease of use.
Oh, how I wish I could just back up the whole hard drive at once!

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

All round good service and team - provides great peace of mind. It would be wonderful if CloudAlly also provided backup for Xero (small business finance product) and Wordpress websites as I have to put other back-up solutions in place for these products. Andrew
