Keepit vs Acsense for Okta Backup (2026)
A multi-workload SaaS backup platform versus a dedicated Okta resilience specialist. Different tools for different problems.
Okta backup as part of a 16-workload SaaS protection platform.
Dedicated Okta resilience with continuous backup and DR failover.
These products solve the same root problem (Okta has no native backup or rollback) but at different levels of depth. Keepit gives you Okta backup alongside 15 other SaaS workloads on independent immutable infrastructure. Acsense gives you deeper Okta-specific capabilities: continuous backup, dependency-aware recovery, and a hot standby tenant for DR failover. If Okta is your biggest identity risk and you want near-real-time protection with a live DR tenant, Acsense goes further. If you want Okta backup as part of a consolidated SaaS protection strategy, Keepit is the more practical choice.
Keepit for Okta
Keepit backs up Okta users, groups, group rules, app assignments, admin roles, and policies to its own independent cloud. Blockchain-verified immutability. Part of the same platform that protects M365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Jira, GitHub, and 10 other workloads. Sydney data centre available.
Acsense
Acsense is built exclusively for Okta protection. Continuous near-real-time backup (approximately 10-minute RPO), single-object restore, full tenant rollback, hot standby tenant with automated failover, and dependency-aware recovery that restores objects in the correct order. SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certified. Okta-recommended integration.

Okta has no native backup capability
Okta operates under a shared responsibility model. It provides infrastructure redundancy but no point-in-time backup, no configuration rollback, and no restore capability for tenant data. If a user, group, or policy is accidentally deleted or misconfigured, Okta will not recover it for you.
Rebuilding an Okta tenant from scratch without a backup takes days. With a dedicated backup tool, recovery takes minutes. This is the core problem both Keepit and Acsense solve.
When Acsense makes sense
Acsense is purpose-built for Okta and goes deeper than any multi-workload backup vendor. Continuous backup means your RPO is approximately 10 minutes, not 24 hours. Dependency-aware recovery means Acsense restores groups before users, policies before application assignments, in the correct order, so you do not end up with a half-restored tenant that needs manual cleanup.
The hot standby tenant is genuine DR: if your primary Okta tenant goes down, Acsense can fail over to a live replica. No other Okta backup vendor offers this. For organisations where Okta is the single point of authentication for everything (VPN, SaaS, internal apps), this level of protection may be justified.
When Keepit makes sense
Most organisations do not need a live DR replica of their Okta tenant. They need a reliable daily backup with granular recovery so that accidental deletions and misconfigurations can be reversed. Keepit provides this, and it does so on independent, blockchain-verified immutable infrastructure.
The real advantage of Keepit for Okta is consolidation. If you are already using Keepit for M365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Jira, or GitHub, adding Okta is one more workload on the same platform. One vendor, one invoice, one admin interface, one set of compliance certifications. Managing Okta backup separately through Acsense means another vendor relationship, another contract, another set of credentials to manage.
