| Multi-SaaS breadth beyond identity | Identity-focused: Okta, Okta Workflows, Auth0 | Broad SaaS coverage (R-Cloud) |
Where HYCU is stronger
- HYCU R-Cloud protects a much broader catalog of SaaS apps beyond identity — useful if you want a single platform for Okta plus dozens of other services.
- Cross-IdP failover is part of HYCU's identity story; teams that need to actively run on a backup IdP during an Okta outage should evaluate that capability directly.
- Enterprise procurement footprint and channel partner network are larger.
Where Butterfly is stronger
- •Preview-first restore: every restore renders a Terraform-style plan with line-by-line diffs before any object is written back to your tenant.
- •Identity-specialist depth — full Okta Workflows backup (flow versions, folders, tables, connector projects), not just a thin Okta connector.
- •Free Chrome extension for Okta admins (snapshot before change, X-Ray access tracing, AI security advisor, API explorer, bulk operations).
- •6-framework compliance coverage in one product (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, CIS v8) with per-check remediation guidance.
- •Self-serve 30-day free trial with no credit card — connect Okta and run a real backup the same day.
