SaaS Backup Software Discussions
Hi G2 community, I’m researching the best SaaS backup software for enterprises protecting major CRM platforms and sensitive cloud data. The challenge is finding tools that go beyond basic backup and give large teams granular recovery, security controls, and coverage across business-critical SaaS apps.
I checked the G2 Grid report for SaaS Backup and focused on reviews from organizations with 1,000+ employees. Three options stood out most clearly:
- Salesforce Backup & Recover: Enterprise reviewers highlight granular Salesforce restores, version comparisons, audit visibility, and protection against accidental changes.
- Druva Data Security Cloud: Large-company users mention immutable protection, centralized cloud management, Office 365 backup, and straightforward restores.
- AvePoint Confidence Platform: Enterprise reviews point to Microsoft 365 protection, granular recovery, governance, compliance, and broader cloud security controls.
Two others I’d keep on the shortlist:
- HYCU: Reviewers value coverage across SaaS and cloud apps such as Jira, Okta, GitHub, and Microsoft 365.
- Rubrik: Enterprise users mention centralized protection, cloud workloads, identity security, and cyber-recovery use cases.
For enterprises protecting CRM and other sensitive SaaS data, is broad application coverage more important than deeper recovery controls for one critical platform? And for Salesforce specifically, have you found native backup enough, or do you prefer a broader data-protection platform?
Something this thread hasn't touched on is how often people actually test a restore rather than just trusting the backup ran. Is anyone doing scheduled restore drills on Salesforce data specifically, or does that only get tested after something's already gone wrong?
This question is for teams prioritizing cloud data protection across apps like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Salesforce. The SaaS backup category has grown fast, but choosing the right solution still comes down to reliability, restore performance, and ease of use.
Here are five highly rated products on G2 that continue to get attention:
- IDrive Online & SaaS Backup: Lightweight and budget-friendly with support for multiple endpoints. Often used by smaller teams, curious how it performs in multi-user, multi-app setups.
- Pimberly: Primarily a PIM platform, but included here due to its data handling capabilities. Unclear how widely it’s adopted for actual backup use cases.
- Druva Data Security Cloud: Focused on enterprise-level coverage with ransomware protection and governance baked in. How practical is the platform for teams that need speed and simplicity?
- Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup: Designed specifically for SaaS environments, especially Microsoft 365. Feedback on its UI and restore workflows would be useful.
- Cove Data Protection: Cloud-first and optimized for MSPs. What stands out here is its focus on centralization, how well does that work for hybrid orgs?
Which platform currently offers the best value for cloud-native teams? Looking for input from users who’ve tested multiple options or recently made a switch.
