Features & Specifications

Quick and Easy Setup

Installing SnowMirror for Salesforce on your device is extremely easy. Basically, all you need is a Salesforce user account and an empty database.

If you would like to evaluate SnowMirror quickly, then you don’t even need a database because the SnowMirror trial comes with an embedded file database.

Synchronize only what you need

SnowMirror enables you to choose tables and columns to synchronize. You can download only the data you really need which results in smaller mirror database and lower load on the Salesforce API. You can even filter the rows (e.g. synchronize only leads from the current year).

Schedule your synchronizations

Every synchronization can be triggered manually anytime. However, the more common option is a scheduled synchronization. Configurable scheduler allows you defining individual execution plans for every synchronization. You can specify an interval between executions or use a scriptable CRON extension. E.g. synchronize static data once a day and frequently changing data every five minutes.

Multiple database support

We support your database! There’s no need to adapt your database environment to our solution. No matter what you use, we support you! Currently Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL are supported out of the box. Other database vendors support upon request.

Everything in one place

To maintain and support SnowMirror is really easy. Friendly and simple-to-use graphical interface enables to manage everything from one place. Synchronizations status, history, notification emails in case of failed runs, data preview, reports and charts and more is available for a mirror operator.

High performance, low Salesforce load

Speed is important. Salesforce customers process millions of records every day. SnowMirror was designed with focus on performance. It uses the out-of-the-box Salesforce API for the most of the operations and the Salesforce Bulk API for data downloads. Building a read replica of a production system is a proven best practice. Connect your reporting tools to the mirror database and not to your production instance.

User Management

SnowMirror server supports different user roles which give a user a different level of permissions. Several users can be logged in and manage synchronizations under their accounts. It is possible to integrate SnowMirror with your corporate LDAP or Active Directory too.

Salesforce Backup

SnowMirror is able to backup selected Salesforce objects onto an on-premise filesystem. The data is stored in a CSV format which is then simple to restore back using tools such as the standard Data Loader. Configure full backups, differential backups and retention policies as needed
