Azure StorSimple vs. Skyvia Backup

Onsite storage needs and backing up to Azure.

Incentivized

In my opinion, Skyvia Backup is well suited for automatic backing up and restoring Salesforce data. It's intuitive and easy to use which saves a lot of time and requires almost no learning curve to start using.

• Performance via the SSD drives.
• Writes back to our Private Cloud via Azure.
• Easy to Admin via Web client interface.

Incentivized

• Automatic weekly backup - no manual intervention required once configured
• Integration with HubSpot is easy
• Auto clean oldest version to keep within space limit

• Additional fail-over functionality

Incentivized

• We were not able to interrupt the process of backup creation the moment it has been launched, so I guess this counts as a room for improvement. We had to wait till the backup was completed to delete it and relaunch with the correct data.

If I wanted to use just onsite storage the StorSimple device is already paid for.

Easy to configure, not much technical knowledge required

Customer Support is quite fast to react, but they're not always available in our business hours, so I would lower the grade a little bit.

Easy to use and highly compatible with our MSFT Hyper-V environment

Incentivized

We evaluated Spanning Backup for Salesforce, but it didn't match our business scenario, as they create daily incremental backups without a possibility for retention.

• Great Folks on the MSFT Implementation team
• Great value on year 2

• We cannot disclose figures, I guess, but Skyvia Backup for sure had positive impact on our ROI as it saved us a lot of money for SFDC records restoration.
