Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage Reviews & Product Details

Backblaze has significantly higher availability than the S3-alternative cloud provider we switched from and will simultaneously save us money. We had problems with our previous provider and switched over to Backblaze the same day. We had a seamless experience onboarding despite the large amonut of data we switched over on short notice. Further, support has been excellent. We had an onboarding call and were able to speak with technical representatives who worked through our use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We primarily interface through the CLI and custom tooling, but find the front-end user experience is a little clumsy. We are logged out very frequently, which makes it hard to task switch when administring buckets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage is easy, runs in the background AND gives regular monthly reports which my previous cloud storage vendor did not. The fee also feels very reasonable with a lot of space provided for that fee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The report they provide on a regular basis is not necessarily written in terms a layperson (aka non-tech) can readily understand. Other than that, I love everything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reliable: Backblaze Cloud Backup is a reliable backup solution. My data will always be available when I need it, and I don't have to worry about losing my files due to downtime or other issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Backblaze Cloud Backup is an excellent backup solution overall, one potential downside is that it only offers a single device backup plan. This may be limiting for individuals or businesses with multiple devices that need to be backed up. Additionally, while Backblaze's encryption technology is strong, some users may prefer the ability to use their own encryption keys for added security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Credible cloud storage that is reliable and HIPAA compliant, which is essential for my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some difficulty retrieving files after the back ups Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fact that I don't have to even think about settings or activating this thing - it just happens in the background and I get periodic updates reminding me that it is, in fact, backing up all my content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing really to say about the downside. It works exactly like you want and expect it to. I love the convenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its secure ability to store in the cloud Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be slightly hard to navigate the admin side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use both the computer backup and cloud storage services.

The computer backup is very low-maintenance, I don't get noise about issues. I have it set up to back up both a Windows computer and a Linux server and both of them seem to stay current without manual intervention.

I like that the cloud backup provides a lot of "standard" ways to send files including SFTP. Very flexible! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly there is not much I don't like. I wish there was more detail in the traffic reports for the cloud storage but that's not really what it's intended for anyway. (The frontend would be a better place to do that.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a visual artist, the most important features of Backblaze are that it can handle my evergrowing archive of images in a very straightforward and cost-effective way giving me at the same time a feeling of peace of mind and trustworthiness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is only an online backup drive for archival purposes, but it's not design to navigate the archive. If I try to browse the content of my body of work within Backblaze, I am faced with the limitation that there are not previews or thumbnails available. It is not a tool that takes into consideration people like me, but it is probably the best tool in the market for everything else. That's why I stick with them.

I've been using Backblaze and their computer backup program for years. It's been rock solid, and restores are super easy. It's so good, I brought them to my workplace and used them to back up every single team member's computers for peace of mind. With the increased growth of B2 now, it has become a crucial part of our arsenal of tools to protect our client's secure data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing to dislike. My only recommendation would be adding additional EU ingest points for B2 data (and maybe they have that, I don't know.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BackBlaze offers exceptional quality at an unbeatable price. Service stability, speed, S3 compatibility and convenient API are among the many advantages of B2. The service is ideal as a backup, content delivery network, or file sharing tool. Due to the characteristics of cloud storage I do not have to worry about additional security. Integration with cloudflare is something absolutely unbeatable.

Sometimes uploads to backblaze servers do not reach full speed. Additionally, the file management panel can be unintuitive. I think the team should improve the handling of file lifetimes and their deletions. It is not always fully intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
