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.Incentivized
When doing daily jobs, if you’re sharing large files, I think Dropbox works a lot better but if you have a system where you’re working within that system and you want to be able to work with that system and have certain folders that you have access to all the time then SugarSync might be just the ticket.Incentivized
Versions Files meaning it makes multiple copies of the same files as it is updatedZero Knowledge meaning our storage is complete secure and privateIncentivized
Sync files in any folder - rather than forcing you to store them in a certain place (Although this can be confusing too)Works in the background - although this is true for allYou can share with others - including those who do not use SugarSyncIncentivized
The Software Client sometimes fails and the only resolution is to uninstall/reinstallSupport meanig there is no number to call, you do everything over emailIncentivized
Can only think of one thing. I have helped others to get going with SugarSync and they if they have problems it is understanding the cloud.... So maybe (if it dosen't exist already) I would like to have a animation of the proces with "flying" folders between desktops, clouds etc. Otherwise SugarSync is just great.Incentivized
1. Freemium model is the ideal marketing for an app like this. 2. Now their sync methods with Android are worse
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
Customer service is amazing, they are always fast to respond and very helpful.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
SugarSync, like all solutions, has its place in the data storage stack within a company. The main reason SugarSync is better than the other solutions is that it enables me to leave my hard drive organized and keep my existing file trees. I don't have to constantly move or copy files to a specific folder if I want them backed up.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.Incentivized
There were some opensource alternatives but we wanted something with better support which SugarSync offers.We achieved faster project collaboration with SugarSync.Incentivized
