Grax: Gain more free time

GRAX is a great tool that helped us with our backup needs. I know being human, we just had a hard time manually backing up all the files we need just in case of an emergency. Thanks to GRAX, that process has now been automated and saved our team valuable time to work on items more pressing. The GRAX team was extremely helpful at getting us up and running and teaching us the ropes on how to be successful with GRAX!

Excellent Support..!!

The GRAX app is extremely simple to install and activate the backup process We have been using GRAX to back up business-critical objects using Heroku and AWS on one-time/Incremental backups without any issues. Also, data restore is simple and works without any problem and a very friendly user interface to set up the schedule Jobs. Finally, the end to end setup support from GRAX is very flexible and great support.

Superb tool for data backup and archive

GRAX is an amazing tool to take data backup and archive giving a possibility to take single object to all objects backup and same is applicable for archive as well. This backup or scheduling process is fully automatic and can be run using scheduling option is GRAX app. Metadata backup can also be taken using this too. If you have mulitple orgs then all the orgs can be connected using this tool and child org data can be seen in the target org through GRAX lightning components. We have used both full data and metadata backup for our org which saved us a tremendous amount of manual work. Even we have used child orgs data visibility using GRAX lightning components which has greatly helped in data visibility across all orgs. I would recommend all users who wanted a genuine backup and archive tool for their work GRAX should be their first choice.

Phenomenal Support

Working with our GRAX team has been a great experience and they were with us every step of the way wit our integration. We use GRAX to help us link information between two Salesforce instances. This removed the need to bring the data into an external data lake (manually) and push the data into the other instance (manually) and gave us an automated solution. The data visualization is also virtual, so there is no need to duplicate storage by keeping copy of everything in each instance

Bob Evans

Best Backup and Archive Tool in AppExchange

We were struggling taking manual salesforce backups every week with around 80-90 files to be downloaded with each file close to 1 GB taking huge amount of time, and we had no scope of taking metadata backup other than Eclipse. With GRAX coming this process has been so smooth as everything is automated and all we have done selecting objects and scheduling the backup job. It also has a cool feature to connect multiple salesforce orgs and view their data in target org through GRAX lightning components. This tool has evolved with each patch and promising more features and stability with excellent GRAX support team who are really very much helpful in fixing those errors and guiding us to use the tool better. I would recommend this tool for all Orgs who are in need of taking backup, archive and connecting various orgs for data visibility.

We use GRAX to archive records automatically and cleaning up older records. This helps us stay under our Salesforce storage limits. Love the product and the team is more than happy to help with any questions we have had. Thanks team!

With Grax, the team is constantly innovating the product, giving customers new ways to unleash the power of Heroku.

GRAX Data Hub and Chain of Custody

GRAX has helped a myriad of clients set up a BURA environment for their Salesforce Org(s) leveraging their own or cloud-based object store. GRAX was also thoughtful about compliance and security by focusing on the digital chain of custody for Salesforce data and a multi org data hub for the potential of sharing between orgs. This data is also "warm data" that can be used for customer insights and analytics, not just cold storage. This can be extremely beneficial when you are aggregating data from disparate systems and looking to deduplicate.

GRAX – Own your Data

The GRAX team has been supportive throughout the implementation process and we look forward to further collaboration.

More than just a backup tool!

I had the opportunity to implement and use GRAX at my last company. I was very impressed with how easy it was to implement as well as the support and engagement from the GRAX team. Prior to GRAX our backup process was manual and laborious taking 1-2 days to fully download all of the backup files. Not only was the manual process time consuming, I was always concerned with the effort to restore from those downloaded files. GRAX gave me back valuable time, but more importantly, I got the peace of mind knowing that our data was safe (in our own cloud solution!) and that I could easily access the data to restore, use in a report or even move to a sandbox or different org. GRAX has an intuitive UI making it easy to get started without having to spend a lot of time reading documentation. Backups can even be created from an existing report! I would definitely recommend GRAX as a complete data management solution.

Backup, Restore and Archive Salesforce Data

Excellent sales and support. Easy to implement. Customers continue to own their data as they do today.

Differentiation among backup / data mgmt vendors for SF

Other than the following GRAX capabilities we found no meaningful differentiation among the SF backup vendors solutions. GRAX differentiation: (1) data custody and (2) architecture that facilitates using backup and archive data for more than just backup – for example analytics, aggregation with data from other systems, multi-org sync.

Great product supported by excellent service

GRAX implementation ease is my favorite part of the solution. They provide an excellent white glove service to get Salesforce data backed up, archived, and connected to any external data source needed to build out a 360 degree view of customer data. Highly recommend!

Easy to use an efficent

Great application and nifty solution. The things I love the most about Grax are the fact that you, as a customer, own the data, ease of use for end user, the different use cases it solves for (e.g.not only backup, but history tracking and multi-org scenario) and friendly support team.
