User Testimonials
	Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage	TeamDrive
Likelihood to Recommend	Though it offers fewer features than competitors, Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage provides an affordable solution for backup and archiving. Its low cost storage acts as a backbone to many small-scale enterprises. However, where low latency in data transfer and more granular permissions over the data are required, in my experience, Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage doesn't fit well. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Nothing gets lost on TeamDrive since SYNQION offers both offline and online file sync. Data protection seal allows us to control who can access data on it. Incentivized Heather Mckenzie Information Technology Administrator Read full review
Pros	Tight integration with OEM backup application Among the lowest price per TB cloud backup provider AWS S3 service integration Optional services for initial seeding of large backup data sets Optional services for physical backup retrieval to speed up recovery Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Collaboration of teams on documents and files. Offers cloud and on-premise platforms on our company server. Enhances file synchronization even when offline. Allocates encrypted back-up copy in case of data loss. Offers 30 days free trial. Incentivized Heather Mckenzie Information Technology Administrator Read full review
Cons	My chief complaint about the former lack of S3 compatibility was resolved so I have no complaints now. Please keep egress free! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Were it not for the fact that everyone hasn't yet implemented TeamDrive in our organization - I totally have nothing in mind that need to be advanced. Incentivized Heather Mckenzie Information Technology Administrator Read full review
Usability	Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage offers affordable pricing compared to its competitors. It's a no brainer storage solution for small scale enterprises. It is widely used for storage media and large object files that can be accessed across the globe. With all these, there is still some room for improvement over the features and the latency Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Because they continuously had times they required updating the account and there were hiccups when that happened, over time, I became skeptical of their ability to keep my files secure. They were the first cloud backup storage company I had ever used and I stayed with them for almost two decades. Then it happened that we did have to do a recovery two different times because of hardware failures. It was anything but a smooth or complete recovery, and their price kept rising as their service declined. Hundreds of files were totally lost in the process. I guessed that among their strategies, it might well have been a re-focus on their part to build up their enterprise accounts and didn't seem to care about small business. I finally had enough and left them as a client. Incentivized Paulette Ensign Owner Read full review	Filestack support wasn't offering rapid responses to our tickets.

Return on Investment	We haven't had any data loss situations yet, however I'm sure our ROI will be fairly high if we have to recover any data. Backblaze is in the insurance industry, not storage.
