Head-to-head comparison
Butterfly Security vs Backupify
Different scopes, same DR conversation. Backupify (by Datto) is a broad SaaS-backup product covering Google Workspace, M365, and Salesforce. Butterfly is the Okta-specialist Backupify is not — OIN-listed, preview-first restore, drift detection, and Workflows coverage built specifically for Okta.
Capability comparison
Verified against publicly-documented features.
| Capability | Butterfly Security | Backupify |
|---|---|---|
| Okta backup and restore | Specialized — every Okta object type, full restore | Not in current public SaaS coverage |
| Listed in Okta Integration Network | OIN API Service Integration | Not OIN-listed |
| Broad SaaS coverage (Google Workspace, M365, Salesforce, etc.) | Identity-focused — Okta, Okta Workflows, Auth0 | Established multi-SaaS backup vendor |
| Self-serve free trial (no sales call) | 30 days, no credit card | Quote-based; partner/MSP-led purchase common |
| Preview every restore before it touches production | Terraform-style plan/apply with line-by-line diff | N/A for Okta — no Okta restore surface |
| Drift detection on Okta configuration | Continuous diff vs last-known-good baseline | Not offered for Okta |
| Okta Workflows backup (flows, tables, connectors) | Full flow versions, folders, tables, connector projects | Not offered |
| Compliance frameworks covered (for identity) | 6 frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, CIS v8) | General SaaS-backup compliance, not Okta-specific |
| Chrome extension for Okta admins (free) | Snapshot, X-Ray, AI advisor, bulk ops, API explorer | No Okta admin tooling |
| Terraform HCL export of Okta config | HCL + import scripts | Not offered |
Where Backupify is stronger
- Established broad SaaS coverage — Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and adjacent productivity SaaS — with a long operating history under Datto.
- Natural fit for MSPs and partner-channel buyers who already run Datto for backup across multiple SaaS workloads.
- Per-seat pricing across a wide SaaS estate can be efficient if Okta isn't the asset you most need to protect.
Where Butterfly is stronger
- •Okta-native and OIN-listed. Backupify's current public SaaS coverage does not include backing up an Okta tenant — if Okta is the identity system your business runs on, you need a specialist that actually backs it up.
- •Preview-first restore for Okta: every restore renders a Terraform-style plan with line-by-line diffs before any object is written back to your tenant.
- •Drift detection on Okta config — continuous diff vs last-known-good — so misconfigurations and drift are caught before they cause an incident.
- •Full Okta Workflows backup (flow versions, folders, tables, connector projects) and Terraform HCL export — neither is in scope for a general SaaS-backup product.
- •Free Chrome extension for Okta admins (snapshot, X-Ray, AI advisor, API explorer, bulk operations) — useful even without the SaaS platform.
- •6-framework compliance coverage with per-check remediation guidance, focused on identity. iOS companion for incident response is coming soon — join the waitlist at /ios.
