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

Migrations from one 365 tenant to another are so easy with Sharegate that there is little work to prepare and post-check. This tool is very user friendly and if you understand SharePoint you can understand Sharegate. One other feature I like about Sharegate is that you can migrate parts of SharePoint and not just the whole thing!

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.

ShareGate Screenshots

Screenshot of the ShareGate migration tool – from migration to content management, it is used to migrate to Microsoft 365, move channels in Teams, and merge tenants.Screenshot of the Permissions Matrix Report used to validate, monitor and manage permissions for internal and external users. It is also used to audit permissions security without scripting, or update permissions in bulk.Screenshot of the built-in and custom reports that offer an overview of SharePoint and Teams inventory. They display what exists, and who created it.Screenshot of the team management interface, used to manage a SharePoint team and communication sites without PowerShell scripts. It is also used to build governance policies, and automatically spot risks, gaps and clutter.Screenshot of a display of who can do what in the SharePoint environment. From the interface, users can copy and edit permissions in bulk, control and review external sharing and guest access, or delegate control to owners to review, without leaving Teams.Screenshot of the interface where users can provision their workspaces using templates, with guardrails in place – like minimum owners, blueprint sites, naming conventions, multiple approvers, and privacy level.
