    Our company was originally with VaultLogix which was taken over by LiveVault. The transition to the new product was not as smooth as expected and presented us with issues especially with a restore. Restore and what files needed to be included in the backup policy were not communicated to us correctly and it was not until a customer's server failed that we found out we couldn't do a restore because we were missing files that were needed for a complete restore.
    I don't believe it works very well for backups of virtual servers. Installation of the product is user-friendly.

    Snaplogic is unique from other IPASS tools if you're very sensitive about data security as they have an on-premise option where your data never needs to leave your data center. And data pipelines can be quickly created if Snaplogic has the requisite connector to your data sources. On the downside, if you're transforming a large amount of data for example in training machine learning models, a tool with elastic compute capability is more appropriate.

    • Very beautiful visual representation of transforms that makes it super easy to use it by any non developer.
    • It can be run in cloud or on-premise. helping you choose your comfort of security.
    • Has pretty good customer support and have recently started their community forum as well.

    • They need to have a way to connect to GitHub to allow the users to maintain their version control in GitHub. This is a missing functionality.
    • As pipelines become complex, it's difficult to have all the snaps stitched together - just like to see it done differently.
    • They do not have a way to start/stop a preview. This is hard to use, especially if you have to stop an accidental preview invocation.

    This has been hands down the BEST software company I have ever used and dealt with. I am a 25 year IT veteran at this college. They go above and beyond in soliciting our feedback/input and proactively follow up about bugs, issues, etc. I have given multiple potential clients my thoughts and after seeing the SL demo they all sign up. I appreciate their support model, it's REFRESHING!

    They can be prompt but they have not been as useful as I've wanted. We had a bug that affected many of our customers through an API connection between SnapLogic and our platform. Eventually they were able to figure it out, but it took a long time of negotiating between our engineering team and theirs. Additionally, we installed the SnapLogic groundplex for our customers and we've run into a bunch of problems of connectivity. If SnapLogic offered to be on those calls with our clients to troubleshoot how to fix these problems, I would give them a better grade here.

    The groundplex in our VPC is very nice for security reasons and the SnapLogic team was extremely helpful during our implementation

    LiveVault is the only product we have used. The reason is that we chose it initially was the fact you can restore individual files. Also that the data is transferred offsite to a secure data center and data is backed up again, providing a second offsite copy.

    We opted for SnapLogic due its ease of use and the flexibility it offers, it was the platform that was strongest in both application integration and data integration and both were use cases we wanted to be able to cover.

    Return on Investment
    Ziff Davis Inc
    • LiveVault has initially cost us more labor time than we anticipated for our IT staff.
    • Installing cloud backup has given us a piece of mind that our data and our customer's data is safe.

    • We have cut development time down by at least 70%
    • The software was more on the expensive side at renewal which required some further approvals to be sought for the spend
    • More developers are able to build and use Snaplogic pipelines in their projects
