SysCloud

Product Summary

SysCloud is an automated cloud backup service that offers essential features and tools for backup and recovery. The platform is designed for organizations seeking a dedicated cloud backup for their SaaS data and provides cloud-to-cloud backup, monitoring, and compliance solutions. SysCloud is marketed towards businesses, schools, and IT teams needing automated data protection on SaaS platforms.

Use Cases

  • Automated backup: SysCloud offers automated cloud-to-cloud backup that promises uninterrupted protection of critical business data.
  • Ransomware detection: The platform offers tools for determining different types of ransomware files in your backup archive, ensuring that infected files are identified and isolated.
  • Compliance watch: The platform also has tools to monitor for issues that may lead to compliance issues, such as sensitive information exposure, data retention gaps, or policy violations across SaaS applications.

Shortcomings

  • File retrieval: Some users pointed out that retrieving older files takes time, impacting productivity and business continuity.
  • Backup issue: Other users mentioned occasional hiccups when backing up files, such as unfinished backup jobs that can delay the whole process.
  • Email previews: According to some SysCloud users, there are times when previews for emails do not show, making it difficult for them to see if the email contains the information they need without fully restoring it.

NinjaOne

Why your peers choose us over SysCloud

NinjaOne is a renowned comprehensive endpoint management solution that offers a feature set catering to the diverse IT needs of businesses, organizations, and enterprises. This “single pane of glass” approach to IT management makes the platform stand out, giving it a significant advantage over other IT solutions. Compared to SysCloud, NinjaOne is preferred by IT professionals more since the latter focuses mainly on SaaS backup and recovery.

That said, besides its key functionalities, such as patch management, remote access, automation, mobile device management (MDM), and more, NinjaOne also offers robust tools for backup and recovery. While SysCloud’s primary focus is SaaS, NinjaOne provides a backup and recovery solution for a slew of diverse environments, such as devices, servers, virtual machines, and SaaS. For its endpoint backup, it showcases capabilities including file and folder-level security, chainless image backups, bare-metal recovery, and cross-platform support for Windows and macOS. Meanwhile, its dedicated SaaS backup platform supports both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.

Additionally, NinjaOne offers unlimited storage capacity and versatile storage options (cloud, local, or hybrid). Data recovery is also a highlight for its granular and remote restore capabilities, centralized multi-device management. Altogether, these features complement different IT environments and give organizations a more flexible, unified, and future-ready backup and management solution compared to SysCloud.

“One of the reasons we chose NinjaOne is because of its extreme ease of use. It’s very easy to get new employees up to speed quickly. At Aerorock, we have the utmost confidence that NinjaOne provides us with a secure environment to operate in.”

NinjaOne vs. SysCloud FAQs

Both platforms offer backup solutions. However, SysCloud focuses on SaaS backup and recovery, which is only suitable for organizations that rely on SaaS platforms. Meanwhile, many organizations have needs that go beyond SaaS backup and recovery, but at the same time, don’t want to utilize disparate tools for their IT operations. This is NinjaOne’s advantage as a comprehensive endpoint management solution. It aims to serve MSPs and IT teams that manage diverse environments that need dependable backup and recovery tools.
As mentioned, SysCloud offers ransomware protection, and NinjaOne does the same. However, NinjaOne has tightly connected features that give it the upper hand by integrating ransomware watch into automated remediation, patch management, and recovery workflows. This ensures a more reliable ransomware response and threat elimination.
As outlined above, SysCloud users expressed challenges in its core functionalities, such as backup and restore. Some users mentioned that SysCloud backup presents occasional issues, like an unfinished backup process. Meanwhile, others highlighted the platform’s noticeably slow retrieval of data, especially for those that are at least a year old. These drawbacks are hard to ignore since they can ultimately affect business continuity and hinder an organization’s capability to meet backup and restore goals.
Both platforms have automation that users can take advantage of. SysCloud’s automation focuses entirely on SaaS backup and compliance monitoring. In contrast, NinjaOne’s automation goes beyond these functionalities and can automate tasks like patch management, software deployment, device monitoring, alerting, remediation scripts, and even routine maintenance across endpoints. This shows how NinjaOne’s automation is more comprehensive and covers a broader scope in the realm of IT operations.

SysCloud receives satisfactory feedback for its support. On the other hand, NinjaOne doesn’t only ensure issue resolution. It also commits to customer success by providing continuous help to users beyond the basic customer service that all IT solutions are expected to deliver. This is why NinjaOne always gets an excellent CSAT score from a survey of MSPs. NinjaOne also boasts a swift response time, making its support an efficient option for those looking for a reliable and swift customer service. Aside from that, NinjaOne offers free unlimited training and onboarding alongside its comprehensive self-help tools and documentation.
