Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use OwnBackup for backing up our Salesforce Service Cloud instance as well as archiving and un-archiving the vast amount of emails we receive. This allows us to save on Salesforce storage space by removing emails from the system, while still giving users the ability to quickly pull those records back into Salesforce if needed.

Pros

  • Archiving
  • Customer Support
  • Backup of Salesforce Data
  • Cost

Cons

  • More features
  • Better UI for administration

Likelihood to Recommend

OwnBackup is a great solution for anyone wanting to backup their Salesforce data reliably. It is also a great solution for archiving older records that still need a UI that allows users to easily access those records in the future.

OwnBackup Stacks Up!

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use OwnBackup for daily backups of our production Salesforce instance as well as our Partial Sandbox instance and developer sandboxes when appropriate. We also backup both data and metadata. The data included in our instance spans our program, operations, communications, and finance departments. We have primarily used OwnBackup to restore data that was deleted during a "cascade delete" event, where a user deleted a record and all of its related data. We also used OwnBackup to restore metadata that was erroneously deleted.

Pros

  • User interface - easy to use
  • Trust worthy - I know that it works
  • Proactive notifications - they let me know if something seems risky

Cons

  • Price - it is one of our most expensive third-party applications
  • User adoption - we are still not leveraging all of the OwnBackup features

Likelihood to Recommend

OwnBackup has been a great investment for my nonprofit organization. However, given price there are scenarios where I would not recommend OwnBackup because there are alternatives that exist at a more modest price point. For any organization with the scale to afford the product, I think it is top of the line.

Own your backups with OwnBackup

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use OwnBackup to backup our Salesforce environment, and when necessary, to restore data. We also use it to seed sandboxes. In addition, I've also used it to research change history of records by viewing the previous state of data. It used by all departments in our organization that use Salesforce.

Pros

  • Automatic, daily full backups of data.
  • Users have access to backups
  • User friendly interface

Cons

  • I wish there was more detailed documentation on the search tools

Likelihood to Recommend

Very helpful for backup and recovery. Allows the ability to manage this "in house" instead of having to rely on Salesforce support. There is a browser-based User interface for searching and managing your backup data. The native data export tool is not automatic and can not be run daily and has no UI for managing data.

Salesforce OwnBackup Review

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This is used by CRM department. We use this for handling customer service incidents (Complaints and Problems).

Pros

  • We use this for backing up data for unforeseen contingency.
  • This helps our organization to compare, recover and replicate in case of disaster recovery.

Cons

  • User specific notification configuration can be improved.
  • Generating reports in SAP BW via Salesforce OwnBackup needs additional configuration to minimize the reporting delays.

Likelihood to Recommend

As we are in the service industry, we need regular backup and uninterrupted service at all levels. Previously, this has been taking overload to backup and comply the service levels. With Salesforce OwnBackup this overload has been reduced.
