Back-up tools for Office 365
I see these tools falling more and more behind as Microsoft release more features and services.
An example is Spanning. As of today it still does not even support SharePoint team sites (just OneDrive sites). In fact they have not added any functionality in a year. Based on that alone I think Dell/EMC has no interest in Office 365 backups which tells me, beyond my own experiance, that the market is weak. I only see smaller niche players popping up tyring to fill this need, but no one is even close to a good solution.
When you combine the native administrative controls (Retention policies, Version control, Recycle Bins, Holds, and Alerts) and built in coverage with things like NDP and nightly backups, you can get pretty comprehensive coverage to protect against data loss across Office 365 services.
