Nord Security
It is cheap enough and handles the very basic functionality we need from it fairly well. Since we can pay based on a per-user license and invite guests to lockers, it is far and away the cheapest option for End to End Encrypted file transfers from employees to HR/Management

Wasabi, Technologies, Inc
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.

Alternatives Considered
Nord Security
Cheap and able to scale based on number of users needed at a given time. Not locked into a fixed user contract. Most other services also don't actually have zero trust zero knowledge end to end encryption, or it requires stepping up to a more expensive enterprise version. Purpose built for our basic needs

Wasabi, Technologies, Inc
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.

Return on Investment
Nord Security
  • We cancelled DocuSign largely because of NordLocker which has saved us thousands.
  • We also no longer host an AWS GovCloud instance which is not as expensive but also requires VPN traffic and licensing.

Wasabi, Technologies, Inc
  • 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.
