Other platforms often charge based on storage usage or limit flexibility around restores. With Sesame, you get flat-rate pricing, full restore precision, and no hidden costs or vendor lock-in. You can deploy SaaS on AWS, install on-premise, or use a hybrid model based on your organization’s needs. Sesame Software gives you full control over your backups—where they're stored, how often they're taken, and how granular your restores can be. Unlike many providers that lock you into their cloud and storage, Sesame lets you bring your own storage, keep backups in your preferred environment (cloud or on-prem), and set custom schedules down to near real-time.
Yes. This is one of Sesame Software’s core differentiators.
You can store your Salesforce backups in your own AWS S3 bucket, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, or even your on-premise infrastructure. This gives you total control over where your data resides—helping you meet internal security policies, data residency requirements, and compliance obligations.
You’re not forced to store your data in a third-party’s black box environment, and you’ll never pay extra for accessing your own backups.
Sesame Software offers full object, partial, and record-level restores with precision and speed. You can restore:
Individual records (like a single account or opportunity)
Entire objects (like all Leads from a specific day)
Relationships (child/parent records)
Custom objects and metadata (if needed)
Our intuitive dashboard lets you search and select exactly what you want to restore without overwriting unrelated records. You also get timestamp-based filtering so you can roll back data to just before a mistake or deletion.
Neither. We offer transparent flat-rate pricing based on your deployment type (SaaS, on-premise, or hybrid) and the scope of your Salesforce org(s). You won’t be penalized as your user count grows or your data volume expands.
It’s ideal for enterprises looking for predictable billing, no hidden fees, and flexibility in how and where they store backups.
