    CloudAlly is a great backup for Salesforce and Box that is cloud based for a reasonable monthly/annual cost. Thankfully, we have rarely had to use our backups, but the service has been very reliable. It is less appropriate if you are not storing a lot in any of the platforms that they backup

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

    We chose CloudAlly because it had both Box and Salesforce as backup options so we were able to only setup one service, rather than two. The price point is also much better than OwnBackup, which was our second option. I like Skyvia for importing data, but their interface is not as easy to use.
