Axway AMPLIFY Platform vs. Cubby (Discontinued)

It's a great application to backup your data automatically to the cloud and then access later. The automatic restore of certain folders is handy and one less thing to worry about when you're setting up a new PC again. I haven't really encountered any issues with Syncplicity to have any thoughts where it could be improved or where it wouldn't work.

Cubby is great to just drop a file in and share it with another user

• By default, it is setup to backup my Desktop Shortcuts, My Documents, and my Internet Explorer Favorites folders. When I sign into a new PC, it automatically syncs these items, making it easy for my data to travel with me.
• I'm able to easily share my items/folders with coworkers, granting them read or read/write access as required.
• I like that items that are shared with me allow me to choose to sync them to my PC or not. This allows me to sync smaller items like documents and spreadsheets, but keep things like webex recordings stored in the cloud and not using up gigabtyes of space on my PC. :)
• I like that, during times when I want to free up resources, I can pause the syncing of files.

• Extremely easy to use.
• Cross-device syncing is the best feature.
• Allows for offline sync between devices (DirectSync).

• I would appreciate it if it backed up more than just Desktop, Favorites and Documents by default. I'm not sure if this was something chosen by my employer, but it would be nice if the whole profile folder was backed up by default, so my pictures, music, and videos folders were included.

• Critical mass of users
• It could be more recognized

Secure, simple, and easy to use and has all the features that we require.

The LogMeIn company has always been very helpful and quick to respond to all of our support requests and just "how to" question we may have.

I use CrashPlan for my personal PC at home. I think both products have their pluses and minuses. Both products allow you to backup your selected data to the cloud. CrashPlan doesn't easily allow for file sharing (CrashPlan isn't really a collaboration tool as much as it is a backup tool). Both products have easy restore options. However Syncplicity automatically restoring certain data when syncing with a new PC is very handy and a feature that CrashPlan doesn't offer

Cubby is especially new in the market and is contemplating its business focus. They have adapted what their predecessors have created and implemented significant improvements in safety, performance and availability.

• The ease of use saves me a lot of time.
• Being able to easily share files with my coworkers also saves me time.
• This allowed my company to reduce the size of our file server and in doing so, reduced our storage budget.

Incentivized

• Has helped our team immensely in collaboration.
• Flawless syncing, DirectSync, version control and other features are a big PLUS!
• It's worth the investment and recommended for bigger teams as well.
