SkyKick Cloud Backup alternative: Tenvara
SkyKick Cloud Backup protects Microsoft 365 for MSP customers. ConnectWise bought SkyKick in 2024 and the product now carries the ConnectWise Cloud Backup name. MSPs look at Tenvara when they want Microsoft 365 backup in the same app as their service desk, device backup and tenant management, rather than one more console.
