Riptide Reflection
Do you need a simple, trouble-free way to get your Salesforce.com data onto your local systems?
Maybe you want to do some advanced reporting that Salesforce is not capable of? Or maybe you want to add your Salesforce data to your data warehouse. Riptide Reflection is the answer!
What Riptide Reflection does is create — and continuously maintain — a mirror image of your Salesforce database on any SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL database. Reflection runs in the background on your Windows server, automatically monitoring your Salesforce organization for changes — and then replicates those changes to your local database, including all changes to your Salesforce object structure and all changes to your Salesforce data.

Product Description
Riptide Reflection installs completely in just a few minutes, requiring minimal configuration and almost no maintenance. Reflection requires only two pieces of information from you to get started — how to log into your database and how to log into your Salesforce organization. Once running, Reflection automatically copies data from Salesforce and modifies the structure of your database to reflect all changes made to Salesforce fields or objects. Did you just install a new application from the AppExchange into your Salesforce organization? Within minutes, those new objects will appear in your local database.
Reflection offers a wide variety of configuration options to meet your specific needs; starting with how often Reflection monitors your Salesforce database. You also get to choose how Reflection will handle deleted and archived records — and you even get to choose which Salesforce objects will be replicated and how the corresponding database tables will be indexed. And, when needed, you can also run Reflection directly in interactive mode.

Features and Benefits
- Safeguard Your Salesforce Data — No matter when Salesforce.com goes down for maintenance, no matter what Salesforce.com decides to do, you will always have a copy of your data.
- Intelligent Replication — Reflection monitors your Salesforce organization on the schedule you determine and automatically keeps your local database synchronized. Reflection is aware of any and all changes that occur in your organization and updates your database to reflect those changes automatically and without the need for user intervention. There is never a need for data mapping and Salesforce administrators can make changes to your organization without disrupting — or even being aware of — the replication process.
- Satisfy Your Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Auditors — Not only does Reflection keep your critical sales data safe, its also helps keep the auditors happy, because Reflection can be configured to automatically keep copies of all deleted records, forever.
- Simplify Reporting & Analysis — having a local copy of your Salesforce data allows your developers and analysts to access your data using tools and techniques they are familiar with. There is also no need for training to learn to use any proprietary data access languages or data access tools.
- Simplify Integration — Reflection brings all the Salesforce data into your local environment allowing your organization to easily move Salesforce data into other systems such as data warehouses without developing custom web services code.
- Safeguard Your Salesforce Attachments — Not only does Reflection safeguard your Saleforce data, it also copies all documents attached to any Salesforce record.
- Share Sales Information More Easily — Share sales and customer information with the people inside and outside your organization who need it but do not have direct access to Salesforce due to business rules and security controls.
- No Training Necessary — Reflection requires no special training to install and configure and once running does not require any user interaction.
- Improve Data Access Performance — your database administrators will be able to tune and optimize your data to improve the performance of queries and reports when you control the underlying database using Reflection.
