Verified User Anonymous Chose Wasabi Object Storage Wasabi is a tiny bit more expensive than Backblaze B2 ($5.99 vs $5 per TB per month), and there are minimum storage size/time requirements (1TB, 3Mo), but Wasabi has free traffic each month up to the size of storage which can save you a lot of money.

User Testimonials
	Impossible Cloud Object Storage	Wasabi Object Storage
Likelihood to Recommend	I would recommend Impossible Cloud to anyone looking for an affordable, easy-to-scale cloud backup solution. For us, it was super important that our data is stored in a GDPR-compliant setup, where we know where it is. Having different data centers in Europe keeps the latency low. So if anything happens, we can get our data back quickly. Finally, the support was super fast and helpful. RS Ronny Silver Head of IT Solutions Read full review	If you have a huge collection of files where they are unlikely to change over time, like videos and photos, then Wasabi is a great place to back things up. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Easy setup. Fast support time. European sovereign GDPR compliant solution. RS Ronny Silver Head of IT Solutions Read full review	AWS S3 compatible APIs. Supports custom policies and sub-accounts. Much cheaper when compared to AWS S3. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	UX could be a bit smoother. RS Ronny Silver Head of IT Solutions Read full review	Id love to see them add a FIPS compliant container to allow for secure storage for DoD. Incentivized Kyle Bergeron IT Manager Read full review
Usability	It's super fast to set up. Add your bucket, and you're basically good to go and can run your backup. Also, it connects to the common backup tools (in our case, Veeam), so we didn't have to change anything in our setup except the place where our data is actually stored.

Alternatives Considered	In the end, the most important thing for us was full control over our data and a European solution. With it (luckily for us) came a cheaper price tag and better speed. Finally, you are not a ticket in a support center, but a valued customer. We could really feel that in the way the Impossible Cloud support team helped us when we ran into an issue. RS Ronny Silver Head of IT Solutions Read full review	Azure was too expensive for a cold solution. While it was backed up across 3 different data centers, it wasnt worth the cost. Google cloud is comparable in price, but Google is Google. And they arent good for DoD backups as your data could end up in a foriegn datacenter.

Return on Investment	We are saving money - cheap storage and no fees. We can run our backup tests and don't have to worry about fees. RS Ronny Silver Head of IT Solutions Read full review	The cost savings from previous Cloud backup solution is over 70% Ease of backups - Incorporation with Veeam already in place Our biggest bottleneck for throughput is our on-prem storage offloading to Wasabi. COuldnt be happier with thier network bandwith. Incentivized Kyle Bergeron IT Manager Read full review
