Cubby (Discontinued) vs. SpiderOak One Backup

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

Incentivized

SpiderOak is well suited for local backups of the computer the client resides on. It is well suited for local area storage backups. It is less suited for remote backups, over a VPN or wide area where the data is continually changing. For data that continually changes, like in our document management system, the client needs to be on the same network as the data.

• Files sync
• Files storage
• Security and Availability

• Versions Files meaning it makes multiple copies of the same files as it is updated
• Zero Knowledge meaning our storage is complete secure and private

• Since we are already a LogMeIn Rescue customer we are a fan of their products. We really do not see a lot that Cubby does not do for us that we need to do.
• It would be nice to have a built-in password manager/keeper to share using the Cubby cloud storage. Users can share files in a secure manner, so why not be able to share passwords with them securely as well.

• The Software Client sometimes fails and the only resolution is to uninstall/reinstall
• Support meanig there is no number to call, you do everything over email

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.

While I gave them a 7, it is in regards to the access to support. This is a business application and not being able to call them can sometimes be a problem especially when you need immediate support. They still tend to manage their support on a consumer line model and not a business grade model. With that said, I will say they are very knowledgeable of the product and how to resolve most any issue when I contact them.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

In regards to overall performance SpiderOak is not as customizable as Unitrends, but based on the annual cost for SpiderOak and how we use the product, for a "Backup" to our primary backup solution, it is a welcomed option to our backup strategy when you consider the versioning, zero knowledge, share features and unlimited data.

Incentivized

• [As a consultant, for my business] It is always good to have options and alternatives. Customers appreciate having sources to compare, and that define sales.
• If we talk about version control in general, Cubby lightens the time we spend and helps us to organize the work. Less lost time equals higher profits.

Incentivized

• ROI is positive when you consider unlimited data for the annual cost.
• Versioning when you consider backing up documents that continually change and need to restore a previous version.
