Datto SaaS Protection vs. Spanning Backup

In our experience and use of the SaaS service, it met all requirements we had. It worked really well in every single scenario that we used it for. Our company would work exclusively with Microsoft o365 so I can't speak for the Gsuite tooling. The one place I would have liked to see a bit of a facelift would be how it broke out the charge by users.

Spanning Backup for G Suite is great for businesses or schools who want peace of mind that important data in Google Drive are backed up and easy to restore. It should not be used to backup your servers/etc as the backup and restore process is not THAT quick. Not slow, but not the quickest.

• Backup Office components
• Allow easy restoration of files up to the entire site
• Allows for reporting to find where backup errors have occurred so that these issues can be resolved by the user or by IT

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

• If possible, I'd like to give my customers the ability to retrieve their own data from my system.
• It has to keep up with more training.
• Google Workspace does not have access to SaaS defense.

Incentivized

• Administrative users can backup multiple accounts at one time, but can only restore one account at a time.
• Management console navigation opens additional tabs, but I believe they are working to improve that.
• It would be nice to be able to delete emails and files from user accounts from within Spanning instead of having to login to Google as the user.
• Google Forms meta-data is not able to be restored to other accounts.

The web console is easy to use.

I would like a retention option on the data, but since this feature does not currently exist, I give it a 9. Everything has met our standards and needs and we are now freed up from the manual efforts it was taking for backing up Salesforce using the out-of-the-box features of Salesforce.

We also use Barracuda Backup to backup Office 365 for some of our clients who also use Barracuda Email security products. Each product is a tool, and it is necessary to understand each client's needs before determining which product is best for them. Having said that, Barracuda Backup and Datto SaaS are the two best products in my opinion.
