Pros

I find the product easy to use and the support I have received has been outstanding. When ever I am having an issue or cannot find something, support is quickly there to resolve or assist me.
Cloud Ally is easy to use, both configuring the backup and to search for backed up documents. It has solid features, and there is a really good support team.
The people at CloudAlly are friendly and responsive when I have questions and they have been good to us. I expect to use this software for at least the next 5 years.

Pros

It's easy to use, automatically backs up and gives you the most important data about it. I even like that they email you if your computer hasn't connected to their cloud in a while.
Backblaze has been a lifesaver. I downloaded the software and it backs up my documents.
Backup solution is robust and simple. I really like that because a control panel and configure should be as simple as possible.

Cons

My only tiny complaint is I wish it would only email you when the backup failed. But the email shows mailboxes failed in red text so it's easy to just glance at it and delete.
Worry about the security of my file. You often need to do a manual backup of your information which is a hassle.
If you need backup for Office 365 mailboxes look no further.

Cons

The benefit of knowing that my data is securely stored if my computer and my first line of backups fail. Lets face it, external hard drives can fail as easily as an internal hard drive.
That's more limited by the bandwidth you pay for.
Backblaze set it and forget it until you need it.

CloudAlly backs up our entire cloud infrastructure with no headaches

Reviewed 7 years ago

Daily backups of all cloud services.

Pros

It's very easy to add cloud services and schedule a backup as well as retention times. Daily status emails indicate success or failure of the backups. Failure messages include steps to resolve the issue. We have successfully restored data on a few occasions. Overall CloudAlly is easy to setup and use. The price is in line with expectations.

Cons

The status messages can be confusing in some cases, with one email indicating you need to resolve an account problem with one of your cloud services, and the next indicating you need to contact technical support to assist with the problem. The billing addresses have changed twice since we started using the software, and we pay a foreign currency fee for payment to a non-US company. It appears to be an Israeli held company at the moment.

Excellent back up solution for Google Gsuite / Google Drive Users. If you administer your company's cloud accounts and need a simple to use but sophisticated back up solution Cloud Ally is all you need. Will Google or Microsoft lose your data? Probably not, but users must definitely will! Cloud Ally will secure your data against that possibility and have you back up and running very quickly. Once set up you can forget all about it until you need it.

The only thing that could be negative is the speed of restoring backed up data from the service. Few click to start the restoring of the data and you get an email when it is done. So you dont have to manually follow up the job.

We use CloudAlly to backup executive mailboxes. It's VERY easy to setup and use. We've done folder and item level restores just to test and they work fine.

Pros

Incredibly easy to use, once you enter your tenant credentials, you just select which mailboxes to backup. They take care of the backend storage. And the price is great.

Cons

My only tiny complaint is I wish it would only email you when the backup failed. But the email shows mailboxes failed in red text so it's easy to just glance at it and delete. It has never once failed to backup.

Easy, Excellent and Cost-Effective Backup Solution

Reviewed 8 years ago

I had used other backup solutions but wanted something more secure and reliable. After doing some research online, I stumbled on CloudAlly and I almost dismissed it until I saw the 15 day free trial. So I knew I had nothing to lose, and if anything, 15 days is long enough to know whether this is a great backup app or another joke. So, I proceeded to sign up, and it was so easy because unlike many platforms that ask for an email, username, password, company name and God knows what else (all these details can be off-putting to new users, and there's absolutely no reason to ask too much from an entirely new user), CloudAlly allows sign up using your Google or Facebook account. My Gmail is always open on my computer so, this was a breeze. After signing up, I was logged in immediately and what amazed me was the simplest interface I have ever seen on a cloud backup platform. No clutter, annoying ads, pop ups and anything else that would make you locate the exit button. And with their simple interface comes easily accessible buttons directing you where to click in order to back up, and where to click when storing your data. One exceptional feature of this app is that unlike other apps like Google apps, Salesforce and Office 365, which rely on the trash folder for data recovery (data can be lost upon purging the trash folder), CloudAlly backs up everything to the cloud, making recovery super easy. It's one of the safest apps available since it's ISO 27001 certified and HIPAA compliant. It's very secure because it has Amazon S3 secure storage and it's encrypted as well. What's more, it starts from as low as $2 per month per user for 5GB data to $3 per month per user for anything more than 5GB. And annual subscriptions seem more affordable for companies because CloudAlly offers 2 months free subscription on annual plans. Highly recommended!

Pros

1. Easy to use - Easy to sign up, simple interface and clickable buttons 2. Affordable for companies especially for annual subscriptions 3. Data is safe, secure and encrypted

Saving Cloud Data has never been so easy.

Reviewed 8 years ago

Intuitive, flexible and fully functional. These are the words that aptly described my experience with CloudAlly's excellent backup service. Prior to using CloudAlly, I had tweaked and worked with a couple of online backup services which at the best, required a medium to long term learning curve. Signing up to CloudAlly's service as a first time user, the simple, intuitive dashboard that clearly indicated the most important features - backup and restore was a pleasant discovery and a big relief. Navigation was a breeze and I got my backup procedure up and running in less than a minute (yes, less than 60 seconds). I concluded my entire backup exercise in a couple of minutes but I would definitely expect that the more data I need to backup, the longer this procedure would take. On a positive note, when you are done with the initial backup, CloudAlly will keep tag of subsequent changes and adds only new files or new versions of files when required. The list of accounts I can backup is quite impressive and it includes: Salesforce, Yahoo Mail, Amazon S3, Onedrive, Office 365 Exchange, Box, Google Apps and much more. If you are looking at combining two or more services or accounts, it is easy to select which service or account you want to backup on CloudAlly. I also discovered another agreeable feature: Setting up multiple users (admins) to access the account. This is a great feature in case you need work to be done by someone else. It means I can delegate tasks and know who did what and when via the audit trail. Interestingly, CloudAlly's restore process did not overwrite my currently existing data. As a matter of fact, all the data processed with CloudAlly are tagged "CloudAlly Restore" so you can easily know where your data came from when you perform a restore operation. Great feature! Did I mention that I organized my backup and restore procedure as a first time user without help? Yes I did and I should say that sometimes a user manual can be more difficult (to read or use) than the actual application, so I was pleased to discover that CloudAlly's comprehensive user guide (which is freely available to all subscribers) did not fit into this `difficult to read' category. Cloud to cloud back up is a must have for everyone on the Internet and kudos to Team CloudAlly for delivering an efficient, easy to use tool that makes the backup process a stress-free exercise.

Backblaze offers reasonably priced continuous cloud backup

Reviewed 3 years ago

Backblaze took a while for the initial backup and individual files seemed to restore during testing. We wont have a full impression until we do a full restoration test or are met with a total disaster recovery scenario.

Pros

Backblaze was very reasonably priced (about hundredth!) for unlimited backup storage compared to a local vendor that we had used for the last 15 years that charged per GB. They offer to return backups on physical media for the price of a deposit should total disaster occur, which would be quicker than downloading several terabytes of lost data.

Cons

I felt that the backup software was pretty inflexible, automatically omitting certain directories and not having a tree view for backup customisation. The default set up is basically backup everything except program files, temp files and the OS.

Backblaze backup

Reviewed 6 years ago

Overall it has made archiving and saving old documents much easier. And it is cheaper than purchasing external hard drives.

Pros

We had been using a separate hard drive to back up some very old product manuals and information, but it was cumbersome to keep track of who had the hard drive, or where it was. With Backblaze everyone can backup files to one place, which makes it easier for every one in the department find any information much easier.

Cons

The initial backup was very long. If you don't back up every day it can take quite a while for the data to convert and backup.

Pros

Backblaze has a simple monthly or yearly cost with NO DATA restrictions. Don't worry about what data to backup, backup all of your data. Backblaze has an easy to use interface and you can even schedule when the backups occur or do a continuous backup.

Cons

I wish Backblaze had an easier to use Business package. You have to buy a third party app to get to their storage.

Vendor response

Hi Kyle - Thanks for being a customer! Happy to chat with you re: access to your storage. While we have many integration partners, customers are not required to buy an app to get to your storage. Feel free to reach out if I can help troubleshoot. Cheers, Ahin (VP of Marketing @ Backblaze

easy to backup my mac

Reviewed 6 years ago

knowing that all my computer is backup is massive relief.

Pros

I love it how easy and simple was to setup and get the app to work. I feel very confident that when I need to restore my files backblaze will be there for me.

Cons

Sometimes when it is uploading my computer files I find that it slowed down my computer and internet, not a big deal if not working on the computer. I may just have to play with the settings to get this right.

Blazing Fast Business Backup

Reviewed 7 years ago

Incredibly fast backups and restorations. Integration with popular backup software.

Pros

The speed is incredible and pricing per GB for BackBlaze B2 is lower than Amazon Glacier and Microsoft Azure. Plus, they publish an annual report on hard drive failure rates that is extremely valuable.

Cons

A few years ago, my only gripe was the amount of industry integrations. Since then, however, they've added many, many new ones that resolve my concerns.

Great for business or personal backup. Cheap and ssimple to use!

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

I love the ease of using this backup service. I've used this program for over two years as a backup for my personal computer. It's a simple low monthly fee.

Cons

The only thing I wish were easier was the redownloading of your files. It takes such a long time that sometimes it times out. They do have an option to have all of your data mailed to you on a USB, though.

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

This software does a great job of keeping a daily backup of my computer without even thinking about it. Always have a backup just in case you lose something or anything happens.

Cons

Sometimes I forget to leave my laptop open for it to update overnight but that's more a laptop issue than software problem. Also, if you backup any drives, don't forget to connect them before going to bed...

Extremely cheap but basic cloud backup service with a fatal flaw

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

Unbeatable price and unlimited online backup. Essentially the ultimate offering in cloud backup services. SSL encrypted and they'll send you your files or let you download them, plus they allow file sharing.

Cons

After Crashplan personal went away, I was in need of a new comparable backup service. Backblaze seemed like the best alternative. After a long time of researching new companies, I decided to give them a try. I have about 3TB of data I need to backup, but that's not all the data I have. The fatal flaw with Backblaze is it does not allow you to choose which folders and files to backup! Without this the software is basically useless unless you are someone who just wants to backup a small amount of data (ideally less than 100GB or so).

Set it and forget it unlimited backup

Reviewed 7 years ago

Peace of mind and another solid step in the 1-2-3 backup strategy.

Pros

The fact that there are native apps for each platform instead of cruddy Java apps. Unlimited backup storage, including any external hard drives you want to back up, is simply terrific and unmatched for the price.

Cons

I can think of literally nothing bad to say about Backblaze. Just a note if you use it on a laptop and have the backup frequency set to "Always." Don't forget to pause Backblaze when you're tethering from your phone; it will eat up data if given the opportunity.

A ton of storage at a very low cost, and the speed and encryption are rather great.

Reviewed 6 years ago

Incredibly much storage space for such low cost; good upload speed; the encrption is secure and you can even create private encryption. Peace of mind!

Pros

If you don't want to fuss about with settings and your primary reason is to have a backup of all of your files, Backblaze is great as a blanket backup of your system. You have control over scheduling the backup session, and you can also set a rule for pausing the backup should there be times of intense bandwidth traffic. The data is encrypted using AES military grade encryption and moved to the cloud through secure SSL connection. Or you can even create your own private encryption.

Cons

It operates on an exclusion based system, but I would much prefer an inclusive based system where I could visualise a folder tree of everything on the hard drive to let me choose which items to sync to online storage; easily accessible per folder synchronisation options would be great.

Backblaze solved our email archive problem

Reviewed 6 years ago

Overall it solved the problem of where to store our old emails which makes repeat requests much easier to find and respond to a customer much faster.

Pros

We receive over 1,000 emails a month just between mechanical and electrical after sales support. I am the 'gatekeeper' of the email archives. We originally had them on a separate server, but that became buggy. And it wasn't searchable. With backblaze you can back up automatically every day anything and everything on the computer, and be able to retrieve it at any time. This eliminated the need to have a separate hard drive that everyone would have to map to, and the plug into their computer if they needed an older email.

Cons

The only downside is the backup can take a while if you don't have it set to do it every day. If you do it every week and you have a lot of data it could take hours for it to backup.

Affordable and reliable backup solution

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

The ability for us to "set it and forget it." We know Backblaze is running and do not need to check on servers, external HDD's etc.

Cons

Retrieving files from the cloud requires time but this is the case with any cloud backup solution.

Relaible Cloud Storage at a fraction of a cost ..

Reviewed 3 years ago

I am very much satisfy with the B2 and their support (support team is very prompt as well as knowledgeable) .

Pros

Low cost (Because of their fair uses policy as well as no minimum storage commitment) . Easily configurable with most of the industry leading backup software. Newly added S3 support. Object locking makes it impossible to delete the backup before the retention period.

Cons

No IAM based bucket distribution like AWS.

Covers the Basics

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

It's easy to set up, then requires nothing to maintain. Everything functions pretty automatically. The initial upload speed was fair. It allows lots of space for backup.

Cons

It isn't very user friendly to know what files have been backed up versus which files are queued for backup. Nor is it easy to figure out how to access those files from the cloud if you ever needed to. There is no file versioning, so if you need an older version of a file, you are out of luck. The backup is also limited to whatever you have on your harddrive - it doesn't backup external harddrives, and any file that has not been on your harddrive for more than 30 days gets deleted from the backup as well.

I used this service for many years backing up data of about 2 TB

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

It was easy to setup and configure the software. It ran in the background unattended. It was able to dd or remove folders quickly.

Cons

The one time I needed the software to actually work for a backup it failed. It was not able to retain my existing backup when I had to reinstall Windows 10 on my desktop. I was told I needed to re-upload my entire data-set again.

Vendor response

Hey Brad - It can be quite annoying when one has to repush... although it can happen when 3rd party software impedes our "inherit backup state" feature. Please let us know if this continues to be an issue an we're happy to help troubleshoot

Overall experience with Backblaze has been very good. The admin console this very easy to use and makes it simple to download backups.

Pros

Backblaze is a dependable backup solution. This software has been so helpful for all the remote users we have.

I wish Backblaze had the capability to automatically download data that has been backed up on a previous computer and dump it onto a different computer.
