    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.

    Macrium Reflect

    The free version of Macrium Reflect is licensed for both commercial and personal use. It works well on MS Windows computers, but cannot back up servers, where a paid version is required. The free version does full and differential backups, but not incremental as do the paid versions. If a large volume of files are added every day, a paid version would be more suitable as it supports incremental backups.The Macrium Reflect server version is very suitable for backing up physical servers.

    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).

    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.

    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

    We have not been opening tickets for support from Macrium at the moment, only for licencing issues, but good attention and fast response by the support team. They respond pretty fast to our emails and fixed our issues giving us a good explanation of our case without any complications. Due to the good functionality of the software we have not opened a ticket for support in years.

    Alternatives Considered

    Amazon Drive

    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

    Macrium Reflect

    Veeam offers Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows, a product we also install and use. It compares favorably with Macrium Reflect; however, for small firms and individual wanting an added cloud backup of their full hard drive, Macrium wins out in requiring less cloud storage space by a significant margin.ShadowProtect is a rock solid competitor with a higher price and no free version. It is highly dependable, but more complicated to install and set up.The number of technical issues and quality of technical support have ruled out Acronis products.MSP360 Backup has impressive technology, but we encountered issues with restore times and full drive image restores.

    Return on Investment

    Amazon Drive

    • 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.
