It keeps back ups simple, but it tends to time-out with slower connections.

What is most valuable?

Quiet running and easy to administrate.

How has it helped my organization?

Problem users never "forget" to back up.

In the places we have slower connections it has a time out problem. A time setting would be nice so we can set these clients to backup after hours.

For how long have I used the solution?

two years

We just keep adding licenses.  No issues.  We went from 10 to 50 to over 300 seats now.

What other advice do I have?

Everyone has a backup now. In daily work life it is easy to forget to backup your files. This makes it simple.

All users save locally instead of to a network drive, which saves cost, but backing up required ports.

What is most valuable?

Ease of use and admin console

How has it helped my organization?

Rather than save to a network drive and costs associated with upgrading storage, all users save locally with the peace of mind that everything is safe.

What needs improvement?

None of that I can find.

For how long have I used the solution?

9 months

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

Required ports needed to backup.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

None

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

None

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Top notch, I have never had such a great experience with a company.

Technical Support:

10/10

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

SOS online backup. Their admin console was a joke, could never tell if backups had been completed, and restoring could only be done file by file.

How was the initial setup?

Straightforward, I had a rep stay on the phone with me and help.

What other advice do I have?

This is by far the best cloud-based backup solution. If you are looking into cloud solutions, stop. Purchase Crashplan and never lose a night's sleep again.

The enterprise edition has centralized management for all devices being backed up on our domain, and the data is encrypted before leaving our machines.

CrashPlan is an excellent backup product. Unlike many backup solutions, it has a lightweight client that I don't even know is there. The enterprise edition has centralized management for all devices being backed up on our domain, and the data is encrypted before leaving our machines. The restore function can be a little cumbersome when restoring from the centralized management console, however the client based restore is relatively simple.

Ease of use as compared to its competitors.

The administration side as reporting ability is lacking.

2 years

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

Yes. Many, but it came from outside of the product.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Not too much.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Very little. But without a working deployment tool, it becomes very challenging to deploy to 500+ people.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Best support portal I have ever used.

Technical Support:

Great so far.

Yes. People hated our previous solution as it required vpn and bogged down CPU.

I have no idea.

Yes, Druva.

What other advice do I have?
