SaaSAssure vs Synology Active Backup for SaaS

SaaSAssure is a web platform for backing up and protecting business data held in SaaS applications. Organizations can schedule daily or on-demand backups and restore information to a selected point in time. Backups may be stored in SaaSAssure Cloud Storage, Amazon S3, or S3-compatible storage, including storage supplied by the customer. Connectors cover Microsoft Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Box, Confluence, HubSpot, Jira, QuickBooks Online, and Salesforce; additional connectors are marked as coming soon. Security controls include multifactor authentication, multiperson approval, policy-based measures, and AES 256-bit encryption in transit and at rest. Ransomware protection and audit logs are included. Managed service providers get a multitenant console with delegated administration, tagging, dashboards, and activity logs. SaaSAssure runs on AWS architecture, and setup is described as taking under 10 minutes. Pricing is available on request, with a 14-day trial and no free plan.

Synology Active Backup for SaaS backs up Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data to Synology NAS servers for recovery after data loss or service downtime. Microsoft 365 coverage includes OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, and Teams. Google Workspace coverage includes Drive, Gmail, Contacts, and Calendar, including shared drives, labels, and attachments. Microsoft 365 backups can run continuously, manually, or on a schedule; continuous intervals adjust from one to ten minutes based on detected API request rates. Both services support file versioning, and Google Workspace versions can be retained for a chosen period or kept in full. The Microsoft 365 Recovery Portal lets administrators and employees restore or export backed-up data, with self-service access dependent on configuration. The product is a free add-on for a compatible Synology NAS, with unlimited accounts subject to NAS storage capacity. Active Backup for Microsoft 365 requires DSM 6.1-15217 or later. Deduplication requires an x64 NAS using Btrfs, and neither service supports secondary backups. Google Workspace setup requires configuring the Drive SDK API and creating a service key.
