Recently moved over to SysCloud from Backupify (Datto) - the interface is so easy to use - I was up and running in just a few minutes - very easy to find and restore files, look at backup history, etc - and I've got my whole domain backing up for about the same price I paid for just 25 users with Backupify! It is a superior service to Backupify in every way. Customer support is fantastic, and it was so easy to integrate with our G Suite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish I had known about it sooner, learned about it on a listserv where people were complaining about Backupify and someone had discovered SysCloud and recommended it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Syscloud is easy to use. A few months ago I had to retrieve a video from a google drive. The owner of the drive was no longer with the district. The file I needed was from 2021. I used syscloud and found the video file I needed and we were able to use it in an upcoming court case. Without Syscloud I would not have been able to get the file. Thanks Syscloud!

The retrieval of items a few years old can take 24 hours or so...but honestly that is better than not being able to retireve the file at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SysCloud has completely transformed how our school handles data security. It automatically backs up everything in our Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 environments, and the user-friendly interface makes restoring data a breeze, even for non-technical staff. The added compliance features for FERPA and CIPA give us peace of mind knowing our students' data is protected. If you're looking for a reliable, comprehensive solution that just works, SysCloud is a top choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The technology behind the DLP should be more proactive rather than reactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Syscloud is easy to use and provides a backup to Google Classroom which is a gap in Google admin console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Exports are occasionally slow; however, Syscloud support has been amazing at providing assistance when issues arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We love using SysCloud as our backup server for our Google data. Its come in handy when users can't find a document. The peace of mind knowing our information is backed up on a account that is not on my personal server is unmatched and its user interface is simple and easy to use. Highly recommend for any school district! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing. It works well. If there was one thing I did not like it would be time to restore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is very easy to implement and use, and it juist does what it's suposed to do. The restores have always worked well when needed. We use the Google Workspace part and it's very granular and great integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Really nothing. It just sits there and works. When you do need it. it just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SysCloud has been a headache reliever and great digital safety net. Working in a multilingual business IT doesn't always get clear communication of what to transfer or save when processing a termination or migration. With SysCloud we can safely keep all information and documents without running a security risk or stagnant accounts.
Set up was a breeze. Their support team guided the entire process and was able to sove any issues that arose during deployment. SysCloud's layout and archetecture keeps things familiar and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be nice to have a purge administrator to remove archives that are no longer needed without involving their support. However, their support is good and flexible so it is not a neccessity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Peace of mind that our staff and student files (Google Drive) are being backed up daily. More than once we had incidents where files were deleted from Google Drive (on accident and on purpose). SysCloud saved the day because I was able to restore the files in seconds, rather than tell the end user "sorry you must have deleted that!" In addition, knowing that we are protected if a ransomware or malware incident occurs is verty reassuring. Beyond the backup capabilities...we love the file insights that we can use to "red flag" any concerns that otherwise we wouldn't know about, such as a user suddenly uploading Gigabytes of movie files, or bulk deleting files and folders impulsively.

Our dislikes are not many as we have had nothing but good experiences while using SysCloud during the past 4 years. Once I had to reach out to their customer support when I goty frustrated and couldn't figure out the best way to retrieve a file. It turns out it was named something different and their customer support was quick to help! The downside there was my frustration trying to figure out the best way to search, but their tech support crew is there to help as long as you are not stubborn like me, just ask them!

Syscloud has a set it and forget it ease of use. Set up the backups that you want to keep for certain OUs and Syscloud does the rest. It is simple and even the end users can go in there and restore their own backups. Implementation is as easy as signing in with your Google workspace account and letting it populate.

Some features are missing, such as the ability to delete your own backups and users. You might delete a user from Google Admin, but that doesn't automatically remove them from Syscloud and they still take up one of your licenses. The only way to delete the user and their backups is by contact Syscloud support and having them do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a not for profit I am pleased SysCloud offers a sizeable discount to not for profit organizations. On the app side, backing up Google Workspace is simple to do and the options are great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The process to go through to not be charged sales tax was not as streamlined as I would have liked. I didn't take that into accont and let my trial get to close to expiration before realizing I needed help. Pretty much my fault but it would be nice if the ability to provide proof of not for profit status could be done during checkout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
