User Testimonials
	Azure StorSimple	CloudAlly by OpenText
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Onsite storage needs and backing up to Azure. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	OpenText 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Microsoft Performance via the SSD drives. Writes back to our Private Cloud via Azure. Easy to Admin via Web client interface. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	OpenText Backup Services Salesforce Backup Box Backup Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Microsoft Additional fail-over functionality Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	OpenText User interface could be easier to use Backups in Salesforce could be easier to view Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Microsoft If I wanted to use just onsite storage the StorSimple device is already paid for. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	OpenText No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft Easy to use and highly compatible with our MSFT Hyper-V environment Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	OpenText 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.

Return on Investment	Microsoft Great Folks on the MSFT Implementation team Great value on year 2 Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	OpenText Extra layer of protection on our data Ability to retrieve past data if an issue occurs Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
