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 …

Cloud Storage Platform
Comparison of Cloud Storage Platform features of Impossible Cloud Object Storage and Wasabi Object Storage
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.
Wasabi is just simple and easy to use. It incorprates well with Veeam and other backup solutions. The cost savings alone is enough to make anyone switch. Plus thier reliability has been on great. We havent experienced any down time or issues since converting out cloud backup solution to Wasabi.

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.

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.
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.
