There are numerous backup solutions for Microsoft 365 so it is important to evaluate the solution that’s right for your organization using key criteria:

• Security – How does the solution guarantee your data cannot be intercepted or stolen while in transit or in storage? Does the solution support encryption? If yes, how reliable is it?
• Restore speed – How many restore options will you have? What level of granularity is supported? E.g. Can you restore just one object or must you restore the whole backup? How quickly can you find the required archive file or email?
• Simplicity – Does the backup solution have the ability to protect other pieces of your data, or is it a standalone solution for a specific use-case? How easy is it to start and learn it? Can your IT generalist manage it, or do you need to hire a backup/storage professional?
