CrashPlan SMB Reviews & Product Details

Configure it and forget it! If there is a problem (rare) you can set up automated notifications that will let you know when a backup has not been completed within your specified time frame. The defaults for user backup generally catch all of the settings and data that needs to be backed up, but these can be tweaked for special situations, such as users who store critical data in unconventional places. The restore process is easy and intuitive. Software updates are easy and largely automated. This is really nice for remote users at distance sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a simple and safe way to create backups in the cloud, in our company, we use different storage and data protection services in the cloud, but I am encouraged to give a review about Code42, since it is a very functional tool, Security is one of its strengths, we have tried different external attacks, based on DDOS, to check the vulnerability of the files protected with Code42, and it has been impossible to break their protection.

The interface is a bit simpler, you can work a lot on it, actually in an application like this, it is not so primordial, but if you give more importance to this part, you can help make it more intuitive and easier to use, I do not like that the processes of backups can take a long time, we have high speed SSD disks to perform this type of tasks, but also, these processes take a long time to complete.

I'm not the most careful person ever and I'm kind of clumsy so when I finally spilled the coffee over my MacBook I started to panic, hardware is easy to replace, especially if it's insured but I was dreading the moment of turning the new machine to see how much work I needed to redo. Answer almost 0, thanks to Code42 all my documents were exactly as before except for the word document I was working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
