How VaultFuzion compares for Microsoft 365 backup

VaultFuzion is a Microsoft 365 backup platform for MSPs that stores data in your own S3 bucket, publishes its per-seat pricing, and backs up every core workload with point-in-time restore. This page explains how that approach compares with the common patterns you will find across the Microsoft 365 backup market.

The market, briefly

The Microsoft 365 backup market for MSPs includes, as of October 2026, established names such as Veeam, Druva, AvePoint, Barracuda, Commvault, Keepit and Acronis, each with a different storage model, pricing structure and recovery scope. Rather than single any one out, the comparison below contrasts VaultFuzion’s approach with the typical patterns you encounter across the category — so the claims are about how VaultFuzion is built, not about any particular competitor.

Approach comparison

Capability	VaultFuzion	Alternative A	Alternative B	Alternative C
Storage model	Bring your own S3 bucket (BYOS); vendor-provided option for direct customers	Vendor-hosted storage, bundled	Vendor-hosted storage, bundled	BYOS available
Pricing	Published per-seat rate card + calculator	Quote-only	Published	Quote-only
M365 workloads	Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Groups	Core workloads	Core workloads	Varies by plan
Restore modes	Point-in-time; side-by-side, in-place, exact-state	Single mode	Two modes	Single mode
Immutability	Compliance-mode object lock (WORM)	Governance-mode / varies	Varies	Governance-mode / varies
Multi-tenant isolation	Per-tenant data and one encryption key per tenant	Varies	Shared tenancy common	Varies
Data and egress ownership	You own the bucket, region and egress	Held by vendor	Held by vendor	Depends on storage choice

Read the alternatives as general market patterns, not specific vendors: some bundle storage into the per-seat price while VaultFuzion lets you keep it in a bucket you own; some gate pricing behind a sales call while VaultFuzion publishes the rate card; and immutability is often governance-mode (bypassable by a privileged user) rather than the compliance-mode lock VaultFuzion applies on an Object-Lock-enabled bucket. Confirm each point against your shortlist directly — the questions above are the ones worth asking any vendor.

Frequently asked questions

Who are the main Microsoft 365 backup vendors?

The market includes established names such as Veeam, Druva, AvePoint, Barracuda, Commvault, Keepit and Acronis, alongside platform-native and MSP-focused tools. They differ mainly in storage model, pricing structure and recovery scope.

What makes VaultFuzion different?

Three things an MSP can verify: backups go to storage you own (bring-your-own-storage), the per-seat price is published rather than quote-only, and every core Microsoft 365 workload is covered with point-in-time restore — all run multi-tenant from one console.

Is bring-your-own-storage better than vendor-hosted storage?

It depends on what you value. BYOS gives you control of the region, the data and the egress and keeps storage cost transparent; vendor-hosted storage is simpler to start but bundles the cost and the location decision. VaultFuzion supports BYOS, and provides a bucket for direct customers who prefer not to run their own.

Does VaultFuzion publish its pricing?

Yes — the full per-seat rate card and a cost calculator are on the pricing page, from $0.79 per user per month at volume with no seat minimum. You do not need a sales call to see the price.
