Amazon Cloud Drive is a fantastic backup solution for storing your digital files on the web, but if you want to manage, tweak, organize or otherwise maintain those files after they have reached the cloud, the experience immediately begins to suffer. This is especially noted when major competitor products like Microsoft and Dropbox offer similar services at similar prices, but offer far better interfaces for file management.

Carbonite Endpoint 360 is a great solution for any organization with compliance needs. Office 365 defaults to a 30 day backup of all data. Carbonite Endpoint 360 extends this well beyond 30 days and provides an all-inclusive source for retention for data in Office 365. Any small to medium business would greatly benefit from this solution as they can design their entire infrastructure in Office 365 and ensure it's all backed up.

Pros
Amazon Drive
- Amazon Drive automatically detects photos and videos in specific folders (that you choose). It will add them to Drive without any action from me.
- There is a desktop app where you can access all of your files (in addition to web-based access).

- It is excellent at automating your backups. You don't need to manually do it, just set it up once and let it run in the background.
- It's pretty simple to set up and use. It will automatically suggest the best options that work for most people and you can be up and running pretty quickly.
- It's safe and reliable. We have been using it for a couple of years now and had no major issues.
- Their phone support is excellent.
- It's also really easy to maintain your backed up data to reduce redundancy.

Cons
Amazon Drive
- Less storage than Google Drive, Google offers 15GB of free space - vs. Amazon's 5GB.
- Also, unlike with Google Drive, you can't back up your work with Amazon Drive ( I also use Google Drive, since I have a Gmail account).
- A lot more expensive than Google Drive, which is 1.99/month...but they are more in line with Dropbox pricing.

- To be honest not so impressed with the amount of time it has taken to get data backed up to the cloud.
- I have not had to do a restore at this time so I cannot comment on the restore process.
- I was not aware at time of procurement that the upload process would take so long since we were not procuring their hardware. Sales rep mad it seem like upload would only take a day or two and we are now starting week 7 hoping to be done by week 8 for 1.5 TBs of data.

I found their alerting to be very poor. I missed several days of backups without knowledge of this, until I signed into the portal. I would get daily emails reporting backups were in progress or done, but nothing indicating that a backup had been stuck or paused for 3 days. For this reason alone, I did not renew.

The system is very easy to use and it's use of apps for almost all devices and hardware makes it even easier to manage and store photos and documents. I highly recommend this as an easy to use solution for novices!

Overall great software to use for file share, storage, and collaboration. Its security is great and the user management is spot on. The only thing that makes me dock it a point is that the device management as a subset of user management is kind of clunky. It hasn't been an issue yet, but it could compromise security in the future. Overall, would recommend

Does what it needs to do quietly and efficiently in the background without interrupting the workflow. It offers instant automated back-ups without troubling the end user. As it is such an automated system, once it is up and running, there is little or no support needed from the service provider. From what I understand the support from Carbonite during the setup and implementation was absolutely fine.

Amazon Drive Cloud has the advantage of being backed by one of the companies that has had the highest growth in recent years: Amazon. That gives us security and has been the main reason for us to trust this product. We believe that the security systems of this company are good enough to be quiet while our files are stored on their servers

We have also used Mozy Pro and Dropbox. They are all pretty similar in functionality/features of backing up data (not system state or databases as I don't think any of the 3 are well suited for that). To me, it comes down to personal preference and choosing a product that is universal for multiple users, for ease of management.

- It slowed us down at first since we went from purely agile to document based then agile.
- It is easy to use so even non-developers can access code snippets which they wouldn't know how to access on github.
- It has a lot of features we don't have a use for in our business.

- Data backup is critical to us. Carbonite ensures that we don't lose anything important.
- It is also good protection against accidental deletions or if someone makes mistakes.
- Cloud back up also means we don't have to worry about maintaining back up equipment or redundancy in storage.
