    Chose Backblaze Business Backup
    Backblaze constantly will win in price and ease of use. Code42 has gone through multiple transformations, and with their ups and downs we had left on a down and haven't looked back. Wasabi is good, but with their API key system, we have relegated that to only for Synology's …

    Chose Backblaze Business Backup
    I previously used CrashPlan before they pivoted their business model. CrashPlan was fine, and has feature parity with Backblaze. I was motivated to move from CrashPlan to Backblaze for 2 reasons - 1, as they pivoted, they increased their cost, which was frustrating, and 2, …

    Chose Backblaze Business Backup
    I selected Backblaze because they have unlimited storage and the best pricing. Their app is also very lightweight compared to other solutions.

    Chose CrashPlan
    The main advantage that CrashPlan has on competing services is it's ability to back up network drives and keep your backup archives indefinitely. While Backblaze costs significantly less ($50/year/computer vs. $10/year/computer - or $120/year/computer), it does not have the …

    Chose CrashPlan
    We tried Backblaze. The backup schedule and management is not as good as Crashplan. But it's much cheaper. Also it is not 100% compliant with our security policies. We already use Google Drive for sharing and team working. We ask our users to put their sensitive files there, …
