Code42 Incydr Valuable Features

Chuck_Mackey - PeerSpot reviewer
Director, Cybersecurity Consulting at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

There are a couple of things. One of them is that they have what they call Incydr. Their detection and response solution to the insider threat area is called Incydr. That gives visibility to the clients that have widely dispersed employee bases due to work from home, or that had a dispersed workforce predating any of the work from home requirements. Even though they might not be inside the organization physically, they're inside the organization. It allows us to get some visibility into what people are doing, what the context is, and how to control what might be the potential for intellectual property theft or file exposure.

Code42 has a very extensive risk-scoring system. It has a default set of risk scores out of the box but gives the user more control over them by allowing you to set custom values. There are other products in the market that also do that but have limited features and divert their focus toward a larger number of search parameters. The advantage you would have with Code42 is that their solution allows for the risk factors to be customized further down to granular details. Yet another feature is that the solution has a small footprint on resources.

Configurable backup locations allow us to gather non-standard data locations. Other cloud syncing solutions require the enduser to store all documents in a specific location which means lost data.

The enterprise tools of CrashPlan PROe make deployments and monitoring as well as recovery extremely easy for my team. The most valuable feature is the ability to see not just if someone is backed up, but the last time and the percentage of their system that is protected.

The endpoint backup component (the primary feature) is second to none. It does exactly what it's supposed to and it does it quickly, quietly, and efficiently. It is a dream come true for IT professionals looking to secure their users' local data. The fact that it constantly monitors for changes and can back up over any internet connection makes it ideal for those organizations with a large mobile workforce that rarely "comes in" to connect to traditional network shares.

Code42 has done a fantastic job creating a solid enterprise product that is easy to use, transparent to the end-users, and backed by a company that takes an active interest in the input of their customers.

Client backup products are not always without impact to end-point performance. CrashPlan's interface is simple and easy to use. Virtually no training is required for both end-users and administrators. Granted that backup is not an overly complicated process, but CrashPlan has refined the process better than the competition.

Whether using the on-prem or off-prem option, CrashPlan provides security and stability for your company's critical data.

CrashPlan, in general, is a great tool to have because backups are essential. The service is easy to use, easy to maintain, and easy to recover files if things go wrong.
