Does the job!
What do you like best about the product?
I don't need to think about it. I receive emails that tell me that the backups are complete (for all instances), and can clearly see if I need to take action. The same emails also warn me if the % of data being backed up has increased/decreased. Very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't know of any downsides to using Ownbackup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backing up data from all instances (Prod, UAT, and development sandboxes).
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Very pleased with this product
What do you like best about the product?
There are so many things about OwnBackup that we like at our organization. The setup is extremely easy to complete and there is little to no up-keep for the backups.
There are many backup solutions out there, and I have tried a couple others and OwnBackup is easy to use, has a ton of features and the people there are fantastic. One of the many features that are extremely beneficial is the Alert functionality that will send you a notification when records have updated, deleted, created etc all based on your criteria. There are other users adding, removing and updating data in the org and it is nice to see when these changes occur.
There is also the metadata compare feature that will allow you to see what changes have been made to code between environments and/or different time frames.
Another excellent feature that I wish I had more time to explore and was unable to keep is sandbox seeding. Being able to seed a sandbox with the specific data that will be needed to properly test a new process or configuration is key and will speed up the process tremendously.

What do you dislike about the product?
One of my only complaints is that you are unable to customize exactly what notifications you get when you have created multiple BUs. As the master admin, I receive alerts for all BUs and that can be frustrating. Another feature that can be a little cumbersome is the fact that FLS is a factor and will not be updated if the logged in user for the backup does not have access to a field. There are occasions where there are fields from third party's that we are unable to update or instances where a different user is creating fields and fails to add visibility for the field to the OB user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With our company and salesforce instance growing daily it was becoming a very lengthy process to download and maintain backups with the weekly backup service. It was literally taking us days to get the files to download to our backup drive and if we did lose any data the time it took to locate and recover was even longer. We have been able to retrieve lost data on a few occasions that would not have been possible without OwnBackup. Without OB we would have lost hundreds of thousands of records that were lost during a migration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you do your research first. We originally didn't like the pricing for OwnBackup and I believe that is why we went with Backupify but soon realized that we were not happy with the product. The age old saying of 'You get what you pay for' holds true in this instance.
Amazing Product & Equally Amazing Support/Company
What do you like best about the product?
Before OwnBackup, we were only using the weekly data export from Salesforce. The problem is these files weren't actually helpful if we need to do a restore because it would require us to manually map out all the relationships again using Data Loader and this would almost be as painful as migrating the data from SharePoint which we originally had to do. It would probably take at least 2-4 weeks of clean up and manual work to get it back up and running so this was not a real backup/recovery option.After Salesforce announced that they are ending their data recovery service as of July 31 2020 we decided to look into OwnBackup as our option after meeting them at Salesforce Dreamforce and World Tour. Their features and UI amazed me and I couldn't wait to start using the system. My favorite tools they offer as part of their service (besides the general full backup/recovery) are:
Compare - Compare data and metadata at any level to see what’s been added, deleted, or changed.
Archiver - Allows me to setup archiving properties which helps keep the data clean/current and helps the system run smoothly.
On top of just having the peace of mind that the data can be easily recovered, it's also a platform I use on weekly basis when users ask why their reports or queries aren't working, or what happened to their dashboards. I'm able to track when and what changed and who did it. It also lets me setup Smart Alerts to automatically notify me when a rule I set up is triggered (ex. 100 accounts are changed/edited/deleted).
We worked with David Schwartz to get this deal done and I can highly recommend him and the rest of the team for the roll out. It only took about 10 minutes to configure and they walked us through the entire extremely simple process.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far there is nothing to dislike. The UI is great, support is perfect, and the price is reasonable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Significantly less time and resources needed if any data becomes corrupt.
A powerful backup tool!
What do you like best about the product?
It allows us to make backups of the environments in production and sandbox, in addition to choosing the objects that are required.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it's perfect, I still can't find something that disgusts me.

Data loss due to user errors, I could recover with Ownbackup
Good for backup data, exploring archival with ownbackup

Ownbackup performs backup data and metadata which has bene helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
sandbox seeding doesn't necessary work seemingly with complex relationships

Backup data and metadata is a benefit
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Needs to simply sandbox feeding
Pleased so far!
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity of the product, and very robust for non-technical users to administer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can only do a backup one time a day or you have to pay more if you want to do it more often as every few hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gives us a secure backup of our salesforce production and sandbox data. Saves space on our local servers by saving to OwnBackup Cloud.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very solid product for a quick implementation.
Saved by OwnBackup!
What do you like best about the product?
Fast and easy setup and continues running without any issues. One last headache when it comes to managing a Salesforce Org.
What do you dislike about the product?
For search results, it would be useful to have an option to view the record in a way similar to a Salesforce Page layout instead of just the csv file. Sometimes it is easier to find the information you are looking for on the Salesforce page rather than the raw data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ease in restoring records from Ownbackup is wonderful. It manages related child records for you so you don't have to worry about importing joined tables as well.
Hands down the best Salesforce backup Solution
What do you like best about the product?
The UI has to be the most valuable piece of the system. It is easy to understand and very intuitive. I also like the feature that allows data from one sandbox backup to be pushed to a separate backup. This lets us customize our testing.
What do you dislike about the product?
There was a little bit of confusion on my part as to how to restore a backup, so I would suggest mentioning that once you identify a need to restore, you should do a backup immediately that will be used to compare to the previous backup. That is not clear. Also, I would make the data and meta data backups more aligned so they aren't totally separate backups. It should be one backup in the dashboard but with the ability to choose one or the other for restore or replicate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With OwnBackup I am able to create customized partial sandboxes without incurring additional fees from Salesforce. I have also been able to restore a full list of accounts that were corrupted due to a faulty script during data migration. This saved tons of work trying to back out the changes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a backup solution for Salesforce, don't look any further. They only backup Salesforce but that's why you should choose them. They do one thing and they do it well.
Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
OwnBackup takes the pain out of backing up our data. The interface is user friendly and regular reports help you stay up to date
What do you dislike about the product?
I have yet to find any issues that impact my day to day usage. It does what it says on the tin, your data is backed up and is easy to access in the event of a crisis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We now have new options when it comes to long term storage of certain data that we don't need to query except in rare cases. All without taking up space constantly in our Org.
