Skyvia

BigCommerce export made easy

Vorteile:

We like Skyvia for a range of automation options it offers. Instead of downloading data manually from BigCommerce every day, we just put a scheduling timer in Skyvia and the needed files arrive on time. Also, it's cool that not all data needs to be downloaded at the same time as Skyvia allows us to select specific entries we need for our marketing and sales activities.

Nachteile:

There is not so much negative to say about Skyvia since it satisfies our expectations. The only wish is to add more flexibility to the pricing plans. With the plan we have, only 5 scheduled integrations per day are available. And the next plan offers 50 integrations per day. What if we need around 15? Not a big deal, but adding more flexibility would be a cool thing.

Salesforce connection with custom database

Vorteile:

Very easy to configure and get going. We used a partner to help, but could easily have learned how to use it and set it up without help. We were just operating on a very tight timeline and decided that buying the expertise would help us achieve our goal. We set up an integration between our Salesforce org and a custom-built on-premise database that is used every day. The integration runs three times per day, on a schedule, and that works wonderfully for us. I only contacted their support team once, so not much of a sample but my experience with the support team was very favorable. They responded quickly and resolved my issue satisfactorily. I have a very specific purpose for using Skyvia, so the number of features in the system is not that significant to me. However I am impressed by the number of connectors they have available.

Nachteile:

I don't have much to say about what I dislike. I'm very satisfied with the system. Perhaps the only issue would be the amount of record transfers that are included in the base price of the various product tiers. I understand the need to have flexible pricing, but perhaps the base packages could be expanded to include a larger amount of record transfers before the overage charge occurs.

Overpromised, Underdelivered

Kommentare: Successfully migrated CRMs.

Vorteile:

I used this tool to migrate from Zoho to Salesforce. The good news - with hard work and dedication, you can probably get the job done. I did, and I couldn't find any other tool to do so with our conditions of satisfaction.

Nachteile:

Documentation is terrible, and I had no luck with customer support. Recently tried using the tool again to push Hubspot data to a Google Sheet and the tool kept freezing.

Skyvia backup solution

Kommentare: Everything fine, working effortlessly once it is set. We use it for backup via API

Vorteile:

Easy to set up. Good customer support. When we encounter error it is solved quickly. Works in a set-up-and-forget manner.

Nachteile:

- basic package should have more GB in quota

Easy backup solution for Salesforce

Kommentare: We use Skyvia for automated daily backups of our Salesforce CRM instance. It does that well, the user interface is clean and simple, and their customer support is good.

Vorteile:

Skyvia makes automatic cloud backups easy, at an affordable rate for a small company.

Nachteile:

Restoring data from a Skyvia backup could be a little more simple.

Skyvia Makes My Job Easier!

Kommentare: Skyvia is an essential tool for our organization. Data must sync to several different locations and Skyvia handles it automatically and with ease. Highly recommended!

Vorteile:

Our data resides in Salesforce but it must sync to Google Sheets and Microsoft SQL Server on a daily, even hourly, basis. Skyvia makes that happen with very little intervention from our data management team. Set it an forget it.

Nachteile:

It can be challenging to create complicated SQL statements that pull Salesforce data.

Skyvia has really changed our business for the better!

Vorteile:

It's ease of use, easy implementation, customization features, great customer support, and automations.

Nachteile:

Long queue time for running imports/integrations

Seamless Replication from Cloud Apps to BigQuery

Vorteile:

Skyvia has many great functions, but we really appreciate scheduling. We use this function to make regular replication of Timely and Salesforce data to BigQuery. As Skyvia regularly sends Timely records, we could see, for example, how many hours per day an employee spends and maybe whether they work too much. Such things help us to stay flexible and make adequate decisions.

Nachteile:

To be honest, we'd like to design replication pipelines for other tools we currently use. However, Skyvia doesn't provide a pre-built connector for that yet, even though we know it supports almost 200 tools. So, it's something we dislike about Skyvia and would want the team to consider our requests to include Instagram insights.

Nice backup solution for SF

Vorteile:

Skyvia's Backup is transparent because you clearly see what things you back up and how they will be restored. We have selected Skyvia backup our SF data since the backup is done in a visual form, so our administrators can do it without calling IT team. But, they don't have to do it very often, as we managed to set up automated backups with Skyvia.

Nachteile:

When we started using Skyvia Backup, we didn't receive any notifications about the free space available for backup storage, and we didn't know that the latest backups were deleted when there was a lack of space. Just for notice who had the same thing -- go to the Notifications in the account and set up notifications there.

Friendly solution for data export from Google Sheets to Amazon S3

Vorteile:

What we absolutely adore about Skyvia is its simplicity and efficiency. It's like having a reliable colleague who takes all the hassle out of data export tasks. Setting up data flows from Google Sheets to Amazon S3 is straightforward, thanks to the intuitive interface — no headaches, no need to be a tech wizard! The best part is the automation capabilities. It's amazing how we can set up schedules for data exports, making repetitive tasks disappear like magic. It ensures our data in Amazon S3 is always fresh without any manual prodding.

Nachteile:

What bugs us a bit is the lack of more advanced features within the platform itself. It's not a dealbreaker, but it would be fantastic if these capabilities were beefed up, making it a one-stop shop for all our data handling needs.

Data Movement from SQL to Google Sheet

Vorteile:

Syncronization between On premise and Cloud

Nachteile:

Nothing for now. we are able to reach our target easily and fast

High-level secure

Vorteile:

I’ve evaluated different ETL tools - most don't allow us to enter the vendor's provided SSH Private key,but skyvia supports this. Other tools such as Blendo, Stitch Data and Hevo require a fixed Private Key which the vendor will not support.

Nachteile:

One thing that I dislike right now, is that Xero is not supported yet, but it's ok for now.

Great tool for a number of reasons

Vorteile:

We use Skyvia for importing data into our medical claims database with Salesforce. The scheduled importing via ftp is very useful for us and the ability to be flexible and customize the imports that we do has been a huge boost to our company. It has allowed us to be much more efficient.

Nachteile:

It would be helpful if there were better documentation. Or training videos available.

Low-cost C2C tool used for Jira Cloud

Kommentare: Support helped us BEFORE we bought product! Great support experience.

Vorteile:

Very simple tool that automatically backs up both Jira data and Jira setup, to the Cloud. A great find!

Nachteile:

Does not backup documents that are attached to issues in Jira database.

How I use Skyvia to backup Hubspot data

Kommentare: Our Hubspot stores data of the company's sales operations and important information about clients. It's vital for the sales department and for company growth in general. So, to prevent loss of information we need to have an opportunity to backup and restore information that can be deleted by mistake. Skyvia allows us to control the backups of major cloud apps from one place, it's very convenient and safely.

Vorteile:

I'm completely satisfied that I can restore my data from web browser. No more installed software!

Nachteile:

It can be quite expensive if you need to back up a lot of data as in Skyvia Backup you need to pay for used storage space. The solution is to remove old backups manually.

Great tool

Vorteile:

The price! Also being able to populate fields across many objects at the same time and then load the changes. That's great in comparison to a tool like Data Loader for example where you cannot load to multiple objects.

Nachteile:

Because we use Salesforce with Causeview a transaction has 3-4 objects (Transaction, Allocation, Payment and Soft Credit). We sometimes have difficulty uploading the payments and allocations when linked together. So for each load we need an additional step for linking those 2 objects together. As Skyvia populates the fields of different objects at the same time, and sometimes this produces errors.

User-friendly and easy to understand environment

Vorteile:

Good. I've been passively using Skyvia since your early days. The product improved a lot and I hope Skyvia will be able to be better than Dell Boomi one day. The product is much simpler for people with a non-tech background.

Nachteile:

While using Google Drive to pick-up a CSV file, if the CSV file is deleted from the folder and a new file with the same name is uploaded to the same folder, the process on Skyvia needs to be updated as a file becomes missing from Import Task -> Source Definition.

Convenient no coding tool

Vorteile:

Apart from the actual product being well good for its money, I would like to specifically point out their customer support, those guys definitely know what they are talking about, I can count on them to come up with unexpected solution with my problem in a very efficient time frames.

Nachteile:

Only suggestion that i can think of is to add more value packages (e.g. package where you pay only for transmitted data).

ActiveCampaign deals backup

Kommentare: We use Skyvia for ActiveCampaign deals backup. We use AC heavily as our CRM and project management tool.

Vorteile:

I like that I don't have to keep an eye on backing up data once I set everything up, and the interface is very user-friendly.

Nachteile:

I would love it if Skyvia could also back up our Google Drive and Emails.

Second CRM migration and I wish I'd found Skyvia sooner

Kommentare: We had received a quote for CRM migration services and while it seemed reasonable, we couldn't justify the extra expense. By connecting both our existing CRM and future CRM to Skyvia, I was able to migrate all of our data within a week and preserve all of the structure, relationships, and history that I thought I'd have to shell out thousands for.

Vorteile:

Very simple to set up and use. Able to achieve a lot on the free version

Nachteile:

Requires some baseline knowledge of how APIs work and you must familiarize yourself with your data source's structure

Your tool is very intuitive and easy to learn

Vorteile:

As a solution architect I've used you product to pitch to customers and positioned Skyvia as a medium to enterprise grade integration solution with a lot of OOB connectors.

Nachteile:

It would be nice to see some more customer loyalty programs. For example, I should probably get early adopter pricing or discounts.

Ease of Use and able to test right from the beginning

Kommentare: SkyVia is being used to provide the bi-directional interface between SalesForce and our ERP Data warehouse. It has performed wonderfully in setting up various integration jobs that can be scheduled to implement the interfaces in a fraction of the time it would take on other systems.

Vorteile:

The documentation for the software was excellent, which made the setup for connecting to the SQL and SalesForce sources quite easy to accomplish. The integration steps are easy to setup and with the free version you can test the software to make sure it will meet your needs.

Nachteile:

It would be better if the backup solution did more than just the data when backing up SalesForce data. The backup feature doesn't handle the metadata and the files like other robust backup solutions.

Powerful features even in each module

Vorteile:

It's a great tool with simplicity of use. Skyvia has a lot of good features for storing your mappings.

Nachteile:

There are some things that can be improved in Skyvia, like providing more customisations to mappings.

Overall experience has been great

Kommentare: This tool met our requirements very well. Good value for the cost. Worthy product functionality and performance. Give it a try. We are using Skyvia to integrate data from our cloud services to on-premise databases and back to the cloud. We primarily use Skyvia for connecting to Salesforce to pull down data into our other on-premise databases.

Vorteile:

Simple data loading, much easier than the standard data loader from salesforce, UI is simple to understand.

Nachteile:

Some of the error notifications could be improved but it's not vital.

Customizable replication to Redshift

Kommentare: I easily copied data from Dynamics CRM org into Amazon Redshift for using them by another department which doesn't have access to the entire CRM system. Skyvia allowed to replicate records matching certain conditions, only those which we wanted to move.

Vorteile:

Skyvia has enough options to perform replication process. Also, it was easy for us to set up and use the tool. Reliable product which provides smooth integration.

Nachteile:

If Skyvia team adds public API I'll say that the tool is perfect.
