Azure StorSimple vs. Skyvia Backup

Onsite storage needs and backing up to Azure.

Incentivized

Skyvia Backup is well suited for Salesforce backup creation, retention, and partial restoration.

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

Incentivized

• Skyvia Backup is a web tool, that's why we don't need to install and maintain it. The interface is pretty intuitive and you can clearly see what's going on with your backups, compare backup versions, and restore specific records per request.

• Additional fail-over functionality

Incentivized

• We'd like some improvement on backup email notification - we receive emails if the backup creation has failed for some reason, but we don't receive them when it has been completed, or when we run out of disk space. It requires spending some additional time to log in and check whether the disk space is still enough. Would be great to save this time for other tasks.

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

Easy to configure, not much technical knowledge required

I love their Customer Care Team.

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

Incentivized

• We haven't measured the ROI yet, but the fact that we don't have to pay per each user that accesses our backup account is very beneficial to us, as we are a small organization.
