Considered Both Products	Backblaze Business Backup Verified User Employee Chose Backblaze Business Backup It's honestly been so long that I've been using Backblaze - maybe 10+ years - that I don't even remember other options I compared it to way back when. I've had a subscription on all of my personal machines for years, and we've used it on all of our machines at my job for the … Incentivized Helpful? AP Aaron Pinsker Owner Chose Backblaze Business Backup In general, Backblaze stacks up quite well when compared to CrashPlan. The native desktop app, easier to use interface, and lower yearly costs make Backblaze a far more ideal cloud backup system for home users vs. CrashPlan (which has eliminated their consumer backup option). … Incentivized Helpful? Mochammad Zachri Software Developer Chose Backblaze Business Backup We are using Aliyun OSS (Alibaba) as a primary storage server alongside with Backblaze. We are previously using Amazon Services, but our team is choose using another service because of the pricing and the complexity. Aliyun is having much feature, its almost like Amazon but … Incentivized Helpful? Justin Esgar CEO/President - 360° IT Consulting, Server Management, IT Security Chose Backblaze Business Backup Backblaze constantly will win in price and ease of use. Code42 has gone through multiple transformations, and with their ups and downs we had left on a down and haven't looked back. Wasabi is good, but with their API key system, we have relegated that to only for Synology's … Incentivized Helpful? Samantha Crawford Owner Chose Backblaze Business Backup Both are great choices for backup, They both offer similar features, however, Backblaze offers unlimited storage and SugarSync offers different memberships with different storage sizes. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Backblaze Business Backup The price for cold storage at the Google Cloud Archive tier beats all other costs. We also need a hot copy of most of our half a petabyte on a system with API integration capability to multiple products and B2 meets that need. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Consultant Chose Backblaze Business Backup I actually use BOTH Time Machine and Backblaze, for belt-and-suspenders backup redundancy. If my house burns down (along with my computer and external Time Machine backup drive), Backblaze has my back. If Backblaze vanishes for some reason, I have my Time Machine backup. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose Backblaze Business Backup We picked Backblaze since it was super easy to use, understand, and sell to our clients. We did try a few other services and for various reasons like price, ease of use, or other reasons we didn't choose them. Incentivized Helpful? Ed Esposito Real Estate and Studio Photgrapher Chose Backblaze Business Backup Their customer service is filled by millennials, so basically nothing is ever Backblaze's fault. I tried the service two times, in 2018 and today to see if they'd improved at all. The first time I discovered that they throttle upload speed. They refuse to admit it, but with 900 … Helpful? Ellwood Howard Small Business Owner Chose Backblaze Business Backup Backblaze has excellent reviews, and I felt me and my client's data was secure. BitLocker had a recent security issue I read about, and you have to have Windows 10 for business to use it. Norton is an excellent and reliable product, but the experiences I have had with Norton … Incentivized Helpful? TD Tyler Despain CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose Backblaze Business Backup Backblaze B2 offers very similar service as these providers, but at a much better price per GB. I've been able to vastly provide better and more cost-effective service in regards to my backup offerings because of B2 storage. It's a fantastic service with an insane price point … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Contributor Chose Backblaze Business Backup Dropbox and Google Drive are both very popular file syncing/backup services that I use regularly. Backblaze is more "low-level" than them, providing more value in lieu of user-facing features like granular multi-device syncing, easy file-sharing, and online document … Incentivized Helpful? Chris Gabriel Creative Director Chose Backblaze Business Backup While Backblaze plays an important role in my overall data redundancy strategy, I continue to use Dropbox Business for certain key assets I need granular access to. I use Apple iCloud passively as well as a local Apple Time Capsule. For a single-user setup, Backblaze provides … Incentivized Helpful? SC Samantha Crawford Owner Chose Backblaze Business Backup Love both companies and have been using both for many years. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Tuley Owner Chose Backblaze Business Backup Having been a customer of Dropbox for many years now, I feel like I have a good grasp on what the company offers. I have friends and colleagues that use Dropbox as a pseudo-backup system. I think this is a huge mistake. Go with a company like Backblaze that specializes and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Backblaze Business Backup I previously used CrashPlan before they pivoted their business model. CrashPlan was fine, and has feature parity with Backblaze. I was motivated to move from CrashPlan to Backblaze for 2 reasons - 1, as they pivoted, they increased their cost, which was frustrating, and 2, … Incentivized Helpful? Calin Popescu Owner Chose Backblaze Business Backup Backblaze offers similar functionality and simplicity to many of these systems. In terms of value, it would be a bit better but we are really comparing small amounts at this time. All other backup systems offer similar recovery times with similar pricing, however, Backblaze is … Incentivized Helpful? Rob Gokee Podcast Producer & Audio Mixer Chose Backblaze Business Backup While Dropbox is great at sharing files with others, it's not the best at recovery and their price keeps increasing. I stopped using the Pro version when I found Backblaze, and I continue to use it for file sharing, but not long term storage. In that sense, they're different … Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Cauley Co-Owner Chose Backblaze Business Backup It is the cheapest storage option, but it doesn't have disaster recovery like the other options on the market have. Also, you can't spin up and use the data live like you can on AWS Cloud, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Storage to use in the production of a product. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose Backblaze Business Backup So there are two ways in which Backblaze stacks up well against its competition. For a while I backed-up files at my home office using a combination of free or "freemium" services, depending on the relative storage limits. These limits are typically less than 100 gigabytes. When … Incentivized Helpful? RB Roger Brown Technical Support Engineer Chose Backblaze Business Backup I selected Backblaze because they have unlimited storage and the best pricing. Their app is also very lightweight compared to other solutions. Incentivized Helpful? Eric L. Johnson President Chose Backblaze Business Backup Backblaze is simple, flat-rate, does not crash, and has easy recoveries. Incentivized Helpful? Stephen Yoder Production Technician Chose Backblaze Business Backup Backblaze had the most features at the right price. We had also experienced some data loss on other backup services. So far, all of our data has been secure and readily available when we need it, without high recovery costs like some companies. Incentivized Helpful? Gary Gray Founder Chose Backblaze Business Backup Backblaze surpasses the other options by enabling backup of attached hard drives - a feature that when I last checked, none of the competition offered. That's huge for me, with externals full of data. Carbonite is close to BackBlaze otherwise, but lacks this key feature. iCloud/D… Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Backblaze Business Backup
Likelihood to Recommend	Backblaze Backblaze does one thing and does one thing well: backup. If you recognize it for what it is, you will be very happy with it as an unobtrusive off-site backup solution. If, however, you want full-featured endpoint protection, you'll want to look elsewhere. For me and my needs, Backblaze provides the right amount of protection at a cheap price. You can't beat it. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Backblaze Backblaze utilizes a native app across platforms vs. a javascript app you find with other backup services (CrashPlan being one of them). Native apps function better and have a better user interface than comparable javascript apps. Backblaze has an intuitive interface that automatically backs everything up from your computer but allows you to easily exclude items you don't want or need to backup (applications, system files, etc.). Backblaze has a built-in bandwidth cap and monitor allowing you to limit how much data is backed up on a daily basis to prevent going over ISP data caps or utilizing all of your upload bandwidth.

Cons	Backblaze User management isn't the greatest. We had the choice of either a site license under one email address, or a domain license, allowing users to log in with their own email address, however there's no management for this option. I can see metrics of the users' backup, but I can't manage the accounts in any way. Incentivized Stephen Yoder Production Technician Read full review
Usability	Backblaze As stated in my review, Backblaze simply works and works simply. You install it. It runs silently in the background storing and safeguarding all your computer data remotely. You seldom notice it until you've lost something you need - then you can quickly find it online using their interface and restore it - which is what's really important. William Levins Partner Read full review
Support Rating	Backblaze They answered any questions I had accurately and politely. I prefer to call a phone number and get a human on the phone, but they prefer email and chat. I understand they have business profits to consider, so it makes sense. Incentivized Ellwood Howard Small Business Owner Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Backblaze It's honestly been so long that I've been using Backblaze - maybe 10+ years - that I don't even remember other options I compared it to way back when. I've had a subscription on all of my personal machines for years, and we've used it on all of our machines at my job for the past six. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Backblaze The saving of data is almost immeasurable - Backblaze is the best backup company I've ever used. Getting started is quick and easy - and you get a 14-day trial. The price is cheaper than every other service - but don't tell them! Incentivized Rob Gokee Podcast Producer & Audio Mixer Read full review
