Choose CrashPlan if

Small and mid-sized businesses that want set-and-forget endpoint and Microsoft 365 backup with unlimited versioning.

  • Unlimited versioning protects against ransomware and mistakes
  • Flat per-user endpoint price with unlimited versioning
  • Covers devices and SaaS apps in one console

Look elsewhere if: Teams needing full system images and bare-metal recovery, or cheap personal backup (Acronis, Backblaze, IDrive).

Choose Keepit if

Mid-size and large organizations, especially in regulated European sectors, that need independent, immutable backup of many SaaS apps and their identity layer.

  • Backups live outside Microsoft, Google and Salesforce infrastructure
  • Identity layer coverage, not just files and mail
  • Wide range of protected SaaS apps under one console

Look elsewhere if: Small businesses wanting cheap, self-serve Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace backup with public prices (Spanning, Afi).
