Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Spanning Backup for Salesforce is being used primarily by myself. I have given access to my team, but have not trained nor gone over its features and capabilities with the majority of the team. After having to do manual backups and using multiple tools to make sure we have a back up of our data and metadata, we switched to Spanning as it streamlined all backing up of SaaS data and metadata. The set it and forget it concept resolved issues of dedicating a resource to do the manual work.

Pros

Set it and forget it. Easy set up and it runs daily behind the scenes.
Restore holds record relationships.
Restore can merge records easily.

Cons

Not idiot-proof. This needs to be used by someone who is familiar with the data structure and the object mappings.
Easy to roll out.
Moves data to sandboxes as well.

Likelihood to Recommend

Spanning Backup for Salesforce is best for a company with data that doesn't expire. There is no retention of the data that is backed up as it completes daily incremental backups. If you only want specific time periods like a rolling 90 days, you will not be able to set this, so it may not be appropriate for this.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Using it for Salesforce for back up and storage solution which is integrated directly with Salesforce which is great. We use it for backing up and recovering data loss. IT's great with the automated secure point backups. It also allows administrators to get data back fast and continue to do their job and get back to task.

Pros

For my team, our master accounts and opportunities were corrupted, back up was recovered from this data which was a huge lifesaver.
Using it for secure data logs.
We routinely use it for Backup scheduling which has also been great.

Cons

The price is a bit expensive, to be honest. We have many users so it adds up quickly.
Uses a technology that will be later owned by Dell.

Likelihood to Recommend

The need for storage is real. Our company is a global company and we have many folks on Salesforce inputting data every day. We are saving a lot of money by using back up and schedule routinely rather than integration of an external storage space which can be extremely expensive and time-consuming to integrate.
