Code42 Reviews & Product Details

I'm not technical at all and I was able to use it, it started with my dog my laptop, and a soda glass in a bad place, a few moments later my keyboard was full of soda, and fast forward a few hours and a call to my company technical support a laptop replacement was scheduled, because of the current pandemic I was getting a new laptop and responsible to set it up myself with help by phone of a technician instead of going to the office and ask for help, it took us 1 hour to set up the new laptop and it was running like the old one minus the soda in a few hours after the sync of my old laptop backup downloaded to the new one.

Didn't knew about it until I needed it and worked perfect 10/10 for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before the covid hit the world I used to be more at customer sites than on the office and I'm not the most careful person in this world so I have had a few issues with my work laptops including a cracked screen an a keyboard failure and several of my colleagues have had their laptops stolen, luckily for all of us it is as simple as making sure Code42 runs on the background every day so, at most, we can lose a day worth of work done when we receive a replacement laptop.

I don't know if it is the program or my employer decision, but It only runs when connected to the VPN, and after a hard day of work on a customer site and tired, connecting the laptop to the VPN at the hotel is a bigger task than it seems on theory, since the backups are encrypted anyway that extra layer of security is a bit excessive and would be great if it could be turned off.

I'm lucky that I have not needed to use this tool yet, but in my team 4/21 already needed to use it and a poor soul needed to use it twice and it is just nice to know that if you have an issue with your laptop like having it stolen or you drop a soda on it you have a way to recover 99% of your data by switching devices to a new one.

It is 100% guaranteed to work if you do a restore to a new machine with the same OS and same hardware configuration, one of my coworkers had the great idea to do an update to the system before doing the restore, and it caused several errors so it is a good idea to have the machine in a state where your configs and files can be restored verbatim Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works as expected, It runs my backups weekly and my data is safe, hoping that I will never need it, but it did happen once in the San Francisco area that some coworkers and I decided to go dine, it was quite late since we really needed to finish some things and decided to go to a Dennis and left the car below a camera, we neglected to grab our backpacks with us and... the crystal got broken and our backpacks included our laptops gone. It was a hard blow to all of us, but luckily after we got a replacement everything except the last day was backed up and ready to restore, and when the restore was done everything worked as on my old laptop.

I totally get why the backups are only done while inside the VPN, but it would be even more amazing if no VPN was needed for backups Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had never had(yet) a hard drive failure or a laptop stolen, but it is sadly relatively common that our engineers that go onsite have the computer stolen or broken for some reason and all the works files can be easily restored to a new machine relatively quickly and painless, also when I have done a computer refresh from a Lenovo machine to another one I just grab the backup from Code 42.

I always forget the name Code 42, for me, CrashPlan would be easier to remember and a lot more intuitive. I don't get why they decided to change to a harder to remember the name but it works exactly the same. No issues in the functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have a lot of important files in my computer that would give me almost a heart attack if I lost them and would make my team and my boss really unhappy at least for a few days, that's why I check all my backups are up to date every night. It just gives me a peace of mind knowing I can't really lose my data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I totally understand the need for a secure connection but since all data goes thru the company VPN to reach the backup servers that means a slower backup, not a big deal, still very fast but I like using 100% of my 1GBps Google Fiber whenever possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't think a lot about this software until I needed it. Since I have been working from home because of the pandemic I have gotten used to eating in front of my laptop. This Monday while checking mails I dropped a drink in my keyboard and thought that my computer was going to die, luckily for me, it didn't but It was nice to see that a full backup was in the secured cloud just in case I needed to switch computers.

The GUI is kind of slow, it took almost a full minute to load before I could log in and use it, very minor issue but still there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has unlimited storage this means that the customer does not have to worry about having a tight space per month to perform all the backup tasks they want. It has a cloud backup support available 24/7 allowing it to be used in the event of a real emergency. It is a very reliable software, everything that promises it gives to perfection being this of complete importance given the nature of its functions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is necessary to have a dedicated bandwidth to carry out the backups or at least have a very fast connection so that this process was carried out in the most efficient and fast way possible without affecting the performance of the daily activities carried out by your company. Memory handling can be improved to take up much less space, it's a matter of resource efficiency that is needed in any software no matter what it's used for.

Code42 CrashPlan Small Business offers continuous, unlimited backup for servers and workstations at a bargain basement price ($10/device/mo). The backup service is reliable and the interface is relatively simple to use. Configurable version retention and retains backups of deleted files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The backup application is not database-aware, so you will need to use another backup solution (built-in or otherwise) to dump any databases to static files for Crashplan to backup. Restores can be slooooow, but par for the course for this level of cloud backup service (beats the pants off of Carbonite's restore speed). *No NAS clients*! The entire company structure is cryptic and confusing. First it was Crashplan, then they canned the consumer product and the original small business product and the company and backup product was renamed Code42, now the company and a different, overarching product are called Code42 and the backup solution is Code42 Crashplan for Small Business.

A software that prevents future errors, such as certain data failure related to employee resignation this and other internal information leakage. This allows us to diagnosis the level of basic direct supervisor by automatically monitoring every computer and/or nube that lets us identify the excessive usage with USB operating systems among others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features, along with purifying outdated documents, take a bit more time to suss out, partly because the times you need to accomplish these will be many other months between. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Code42 It works as a highly compatible software with multi-user environments, generating peace of mind of having a safety net. Continuous database monitoring is done with this software more effectively. I make many backups with a single account, to have everything stored in one place. Its interface is fast and fluid. Everything works wonderfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The number of devices that users support is not clearly seen, an optimization is really necessary to have details of what is being done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A program which avoids potential errors, such as data loss due to departure of the employee and other internal data leaks. This helps us to instantly diagnose the lack of personal data by automatically tracking any device and/or the nube that helps us to recognise, among others, the irregular use of USB web browsers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Company documentation requires highly automated e-mail correspondence, but contact with consumers also reveals that backups are never done. This tends to alert users to the fact that their data are not stable. This is important to enhance the efficiency of this correspondence. Latest upgrades for Crashplan cloud customers are automatic, and in situations where the upgrade crashed, the upgrade was quite difficult. I was too late to satisfy those accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to set up the software. It's application interface is very user-friendly; love the minimalist UX/UI design yet it's easy to navigate. The prices are reasonable and it's much more convenient to keep track of all your files to date without having to go through and update them individually/manually. It also save me time as it offers several backup options, from every few hours to a few days. Definitely hassle free and I don't have to worry losing any of my files or purchase multiple hard drives and often gets lost or muddled with other external drives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you don't have the fastest internet, it usually will take a few hours to run through all the files. Especially if you have an older computer model; it definitely affects its speed. Sometimes it will lag on whatever work I'm currently performing whilst it does its schedule backup. I also feel their customer support system and FAQ not very easily accessible when needed; there are certainly times where I find it hard to looks for answers and had to reach to a specialist via email, which took a few days to hear back. It would also be really helpful if the software is offered is other languages other than English as some of our office colleagues are not native English speakers and would sometimes mistakenly select the wrong options when prompt a message/instruction to run a schedule backup.

Taking backup in back-end and saving my data on cloud, also i scheduled weekly full backup on clouds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not sure what is the dislike point here, i like all feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The logo is nice. The logo is nice. The logo is nice. The logo is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After paying for the service for 3.5 years, I finally needed to access a lost file. Guess what! Code 42 had not backed it up and a rude agent used mumbo jumbo to explain and the ifs ands and buts of the back up service. Then he assigned me the task of diagnosing why the file wasn't backed up.

Great costumer support and wide varitey of useful features to track insider threats Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A bit too difficult to set up. Needs additional supervision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A software that prevents us from possible accidents, such as loss of data as a result of employee departure and among other internal data leaks. It offers us the immediate detection of the loss of data, also the immediate solution to this situation, by means of an automatic monitoring in each of the computers and / or cloud which facilitates the identification of the unusual use of USB web browsers among others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being a system that is based on the identification of situations that may cause data loss, it is dedicated to limiting all actions that can be performed through a computer or the cloud, so the realization of a daily workday can be converted a bit tedious because you don't have free access to all the functionalities as it normally would be.

Once it is set up, it chugs away in the background. It knows to pause if your battery drops below a threshold. It is possible to have it not backup on certain networks, e.g., airplane WiFi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I needed it, it hadn't worked. The downside of setting up the software and having it chug away, is that I thought it was working, but it was not. My website development software apparently stores my sire in the Application Support directory on the Mac. By default, CrashPlan didn't pick up on that and excluded it even though nothing is excluded in the setup. So when an Apple "update" trashes the OS, CrashPlan was not able to restore my work.

CrashPlan has increased in price and decreased in speed over the last 18 months. If it had worked, it may have been worth it, but the only reason to back up is to restore, and it didn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I was in college losing my PC was the end of the world because of the price of the hardware and the data was not that of a big deal, now that I'm working tables have turned. I can afford to lose my MacBook Pro, for sure I will be slightly annoyed, but losing my data with days or weeks of work will really freak me out, with Code42 running daily I'm sure it won't happen, worst case is that I'll lose the data of one day.

Nothing to dislike, it makes the backup without annoying or disturbing your work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Code42 is an amazing app you can download and save all of your work that you use its an awesome way to back up everything and not have to worry if you will loose your stuff what i like is that it backup automatically i absolutely love this app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

at times it takes a while to load and to save everything and this seems make your computer slow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user license distribution is great and back and restore is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Licensing should be transparent and customer support team should be easy to contact.
