It is a backup product first
Management, monitoring and client operations are secondary. If your problem is running a portfolio rather than protecting individual sites, you will be assembling several tools.

What BlogVault genuinely does well
BlogVault is a specialist and a good one. Incremental backups that do not load the server, reliable restores, staging, migration and real-time WooCommerce backup are all genuinely strong, with a long track record and a large protected install base. If backup and recovery is the specific problem you are solving, BlogVault is an excellent answer to it.
The gaps
Why people look for a BlogVault alternative
No verified update workflow
There is no risk scoring, visual regression, functional testing or automatic rollback around updates.
Limited client-facing capability
No client portal, no time tracking, no care plan entitlements and no profitability view.
Portfolio intelligence is minimal
Little help prioritising which of thirty sites needs attention first.

Answers
Questions about switching from BlogVault
Yes. Migration never touches the live sites. The WPCentrify connector installs alongside your existing setup, we import your configuration, and you keep BlogVault running in parallel until you are satisfied.
It depends on your portfolio size and which capabilities you actually use. Model both against your own site count on the pricing page rather than comparing headline rates, since the two products bundle differently.
Yes. The connectors are independent and coexist without conflict, so you can evaluate both against your real portfolio rather than against a feature table.
