User Testimonials
	CloudAlly by OpenText	Spanning Backup
Likelihood to Recommend	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	Kaseya 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. Incentivized LA Landon Allen Director of Information Technology Read full review
Pros	OpenText Backup Services Salesforce Backup Box Backup Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Kaseya Set it and forget it. Easy set up and it runs daily behind the scenes. Restore holds record relationships. Restore can merge records easily. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	OpenText User interface could be easier to use Backups in Salesforce could be easier to view Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Kaseya 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. Incentivized William Reese CIO Read full review
Usability	OpenText No answers on this topic	Kaseya The web console is easy to use. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	OpenText No answers on this topic	Kaseya 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Kaseya Spanning Backup for G Suite backs up Google Drive files and Unitrends is used for more VM infrastructure. Incentivized LA Landon Allen Director of Information Technology Read full review
Return on Investment	OpenText Extra layer of protection on our data Ability to retrieve past data if an issue occurs Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Kaseya Allowed us to restore our data various times with minimal costs Gives us great piece of mind with the regular scheduled backing up Pretty simple to set up and configure. Easy integration with SFDC Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
