Filestack vs. IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2

The integration is airy and the performance is amazing. Initially, we used our photo file uploader and it worked, but as our needs grew the developmental effort to support new needs took a lifetime. As a development manager, this was a big red flag because uploading files had become a hindrance and time-consuming away from other purposes.

It scales well from the individual to corporate environments with many different plans to suit your needs and budget. For backing up servers such as Exchange or SQL I've used their sister product iBackup, which is also excellent and we have no problems with, so maybe they should merge the two products into one which would make it a better overall proposition. It also seems to handle backing up mapped drives as well, which is what we used for a while before getting the on server version. That being said it can use up quite a bit of bandwidth so make sure you schedule at night when noone is working. However it does only backup changed files which is great.

• It is becomes painfully slow for its unlimited backup when most of the users who use it for long time even for a month. This should be improved.
• There are not many options on the IDrive to select the "AUX" menu, I'm experiencing this problem with my newly bought second hand BMW 3 series E90 32i, 2010 model. There is not external devices alternative for me.
• Restoring an older version of a file is the hardest stuffs for me

I have not had to use their tech support. I did call once but luckily figured out what to do while I was on hold so I disconnected. If I really needed them it would have been a very long hold time I suppose.

Ease of integration [was] that we had developers who were familiar with implementing Filestack. It also decreased the dependency and load of our Developers since the implementation instructions are fairly straightforward. Filestack is excellent at what it does (asset management) and Cloudinary/Akamai is primarily used to serve content and decrease latency as CDNs.

I was a Backblaze user for 5 years because they had a very cost effective plan for my storage needs. However, they were very poor at backing up external devices quickly, and made it a pain in the butt to keep the backups active due to their 30 days connectivity policy.

Dropbox is a great fit for cloud backup when you need to access the backup files in the cloud frequently.

IDrive is the best solution out there for true backup of devices in case they are damaged or lost.

• Ease of implementation
• Software works flawlessly
• Multiple Gateways

• iDrive has saved us money as their pricing structure is fair and they allow multiple devices to be backed up under the same account - where others do not.
• iDrive has saved us time as we no longer have to manually back up and sync files on our computers to external drives.
• iDrive has lessened the burden of stress. We no longer worry that we may lose critical data that can no longer be recovered.
