Considered Both Products	CrashPlan David Jones Consultant in Corporate at D & F IT Consultancy Pty Ltd (Computer & Network Security, 1-10 employees) Chose CrashPlan CrashPlan (in my specific case the CrashPlan Pro or CrashPlan for Small Business (there seems to be somewhat of an ongoing identity crisis with the products) is significantly lower overhead, in terms of cost and complexity, when compared to the other two products I have … Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Dunn Consultant in Information Technology at Silverback Networks Inc. (Information Technology & Services, 11-50 employees) Chose CrashPlan Mostly the price is what drew me to CrashPlan -others I have used are expensive per GB storage and difficult to manage. Carbonite was costing $1000.00 a year for 1 server with 2 TB of data. CrashPlan helps keep down the cost and the client spends much less time paying me to … Incentivized Helpful? Mike Goularte System Administrator in Information Technology at Briarpatch Food Coop (Retail, 51-200 employees) Chose CrashPlan Both of the entries I put need a dedicated VM or physical server to be utilized. VEEAM can be installed as a VM or on a physical server, but Unitrends has a dedicated server needed as a purchased product in order to get the backups running. CrashPlan is a simple install on any … Incentivized Helpful? Jason Lane Network Administrator in Information Technology at Precious Moments Inc (Retail, 51-200 employees) Chose CrashPlan Unitrends is our primary backup solution here at my place of employment, and I have no complaints. It does on-prem backups to a storage pool and with that, we chose not to also use Unitrends could storage as the cost was pretty high. Crashplan has a low cost and we were … Incentivized Helpful? Gail Dutchess Diretor of Operations in Corporate at Capriccio Elite, LLC (Civic & Social Organization, 11-50 employees) Chose CrashPlan Both AppAssure and Acronis Disaster Recovery Service was used in the IT business management firm in which I worked. AppAssure required off sight storage. It was challenging in that the size of offsite storage was an additional cost and rolling up could take hours. Restoring … Incentivized Helpful? Craig West CEO (Chief Executive Officer) in Corporate at Psychwest, Clinical & Forensic Psychology, Inc. (Mental Health Care, 11-50 employees) Chose CrashPlan I have used SOS online backup. SOS might have had some advantages and was fairly easy to use, especially when searching for files. This is not to say that Code42 is difficult. But I did not feel that using SOS was justified given the exorbitant pricing scheme used by SOS. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CrashPlan We've been using Nakivo and Code42 together. It works great as we are able to have the peace of mind of having data backed up offsite (Code42) and locally (Nakivo) I found this combo worked better than the costly and complicated setup of both Unitrends and Zerto. My biggest … Incentivized Helpful? Michael Bartlett President in Information Technology at Brandyhill.net, Inc. (Computer & Network Security, 1-10 employees) Chose CrashPlan Have used Veritas, Symantec, Mozy, and Carbonite. Veritas and Symantec Backup Exec from my tape days, and Mozy and Carbonite when I wanted to move to a modern backup service. Code42's interface, cost, simplicity of use, versioning, security, and low-impact sold me. No contest … Incentivized Helpful? Liz Wade Photographer at Liz Wade Photography (Photography, 1-10 employees) Chose CrashPlan I formerly used SOS Online Backup. It was a very similar system, originally offering unlimited backups at a price similar to Code42. After more than a year of backups, SOS informed me that they'd be reducing my storage from unlimited to 2tb, and, increasing my monthly rate by … Incentivized Helpful? Aaron Pinsker Owner in Information Technology at Colorado Computer Care (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Kenneth Hess Senior Systems Analyst in Information Technology at CymSTAR, LLC (Defense & Space, 201-500 employees) Chose CrashPlan OneDrive is not a good backup solution for endpoints. It is for storing a few files and sharing those files but not for business backup. Druva is a very good product that we never had any problems with and I'm not exactly sure why we switched from it. Code42 has some extra … Incentivized Helpful? John Coxen Systems Analyst in Information Technology at Cutco Corporation (Consumer Goods, 501-1000 employees) Chose CrashPlan For our business model, Carbonite was not as economical. CrashPlan offered unlimited backup and unlimited deleted file retention for similar cost. Additionally, we had better results with support during evaluation with CrashPlan. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CrashPlan All 3 were viable solutions, CrashPlan better fit our companies needs. Incentivized Helpful? Nathan Venno IT Manager in Information Technology at VistaFood Exchange Inc (Wholesale, 51-200 employees) Chose CrashPlan For personal, end user backup CrashPlan really is the best option in my opinion. Easy to use, easy to manage, relatively easy to recover. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CrashPlan I have used several tape drives over the years with Symantec Backup Exec. Tapes have so many negatives associated with them, I would never recommend them as a backup system. I have also tried a couple of other disk based backup systems. Compared to all other backup solutions … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CrashPlan CrashPlan just makes backups simple. It's LDAP integration isn't locked in to only AD (i.e., CommVault) and the product is much more solid and reliable than the end user portion of Tivoli's CDP offering that was replaced in our environment by CrashPlan. I can't stress enough … Incentivized Helpful? Alan Richtmyer Senior Manager, IT & InfoSec in Information Technology at Achieve3000 (Computer Software, 201-500 employees) Chose CrashPlan We compared CrashPlan with other choices and they were either too expensive or didn't have the backup capacity we required at the time. For lack of a better solution, we were very close to signing with Mozy, and this was years ago when CrashPlan was still a new player in the … Incentivized Helpful? Cedric BARNET Lead Technical Consultant in Information Technology (Computer & Network Security, 1-10 employees) Chose CrashPlan I like Crashplan's centralized nature and flexibility with support for all platforms. Their support has been the best of all other competitors' solutions. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CrashPlan I have not used the product, but it appears to be in the same league as the Crashplan product. I tend to think Crashplan is better only because of naivete of the other product and the fact that the entire experience with Crashplan has been fantastic from setup to updating to … Incentivized Helpful? Rex Sarchet End User Technology Manager in Information Technology at Sarnova (Hospital & Health Care, 201-500 employees) Chose CrashPlan We use Windows Server to backup our in-house associates as they are connecting to the domain and it is easy to keep track of. Our remote associates do not connect to the domain as often so we had to find a solution to enable us to get a secure, accurate backup of their data. … Incentivized Helpful? David Lo System Administrator in Information Technology at Marvell Semiconductor (Semiconductors, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose CrashPlan Atempo worked well but CrashPlan offered several more services that we found more useful e.g. reporting, legal hold, centralized admin console. Incentivized Helpful? Ken Bailey Senior Desktop Engineer in Information Technology at Pegasystems (Computer Software, 1001-5000 employees) Chose CrashPlan CrashPlan demonstrated a more advanced development than other products we were evaluating. A number of them didn't compress and dedupe, which affected performance on the machine as well as the network. The controls and reporting of crashplan were way more intuitive and … Incentivized Helpful? Kayle Day IT Ops Manager in Information Technology at Vets First Choice (Veterinary, 51-200 employees) Chose CrashPlan We looked at file sync solutions that require an end user to move data independently, and two major things stuck out: 1. The human error factor was high. You cannot trust people to move files, even if they are important or they've agreed to move them on a certain schedule, and … Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Bolens Desktop Services Specialist in Information Technology at JAMF Software (Computer Software, 501-1000 employees) Chose CrashPlan [We] selected Crashplan because it seemed like the best backup service on the market!
