Cirrus Insight is the #1 Alternative to EAC

Better In Every Way

See how Salesforce Einstein Activity Capture compares to Cirrus Insight:

❌ Risk Of Data Loss

Although EAC now stores data in Salesforce, any historical data that was once stored in AWS won’t be restored if a user leaves or licensing changes. This means there can still be gaps in activity history, especially when users transition off the system.

✔️ Guaranteed Data Retention

Cirrus Insight has always synced directly into Salesforce, ensuring your data is continuously stored and never dependent on third-party servers. Even if users leave, your activity history remains intact and fully accessible for as long as you need it.

❌ Restricted Reporting

Einstein Activity Capture activity data now appears in Salesforce, but it does not fully behave like standard Salesforce records. Historically stored in AWS, this data cannot always be leveraged in native Salesforce reports or dashboards.

✔️ Comprehensive Reporting

Cirrus Insight syncs activities directly into Salesforce as standard records. This means your data is always available for reporting, dashboards, workflows, and analytics—just like any other Salesforce object—without limitations.

❌ All Or Nothing Sync

Einstein Activity Capture is an all or nothing sync, unable to configured to meet custom needs. Because of this limitation, EAC does not support custom objects, recurring events, bi-directional sync, or attachments.

✔️ Customized Sync

Users have comprehensive admin settings, providing control over how activity data is synced to Salesforce, including support of recurring events and linking to multiple objects simultaneously – both standard and custom.

❌ Minimal Support & Training

Salesforce Einstein Activity Capture does not support experience cloud, shared mailboxes, or multiple email servers. Training and premium support comes at an additional cost.

✔️ Full Support & Training

Cirrus Insight supports experience cloud and shared mailboxes or multiple email servers, as well as provides premium training and support.
