    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.

    IDrive

    IDrive is well suited for the following reasons:
    • It is easy to set up Unlimited Devices/Account Via mail
    • It is possible to upload a bulk amount of data
    • Upload speed is Superfast
    The app is Excellent for any mobile device, but if we consider its scenarios where it is less appropriate, I think it will be like as follows:
    • Not unlimited storage
    • It has only basic sharing options

    Pros

    Axway AMPLIFY Syncplicity

    • 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.

    IDrive

    • It works seamlessly - Set it up once and forget it.
    • There is a desktop app as well as a website to view your data.

    Cons

    Axway AMPLIFY Syncplicity

    • 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.

    I give them a 10 because I've only ever had to contact them about upgrading or renewing my plan and that was super easy and they were very responsive. Honestly, the experience has been so good I've never had to contact their support team about any issues with their products. Which says a lot.

    Alternatives Considered

    Axway AMPLIFY Syncplicity

    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

    IDrive

    Backblaze is easier to set up, but it's not the better solution for me. I need to be able to backup to multiple locations. Backblaze didn't offer a way to do backups to an external HD. Backblaze didn't offer versioning when I picked iDrive. Backblaze wasn't able to throttle upload and download speeds which would slow things down when I have to deliver files to clients online.

    Return on Investment

    Axway AMPLIFY Syncplicity

    • 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.

    IDrive

    • The positive impact of IDrive in my institution is the move to working from home in the pandemic situation because it helped our institution to gain at 80% ROI
    • The biggest negative impact is that employees and teachers are working from home and that's why reduced the need for backing up office computers
    • It has fulfilled our demand because in this pandemic situation we have won the race against time to meet the demands for clients or students
