CrashPlan has given our organization the piece of mind that our data is being backed up. As much as we try to have individuals use cloud or network sites to store their work documents they still will store items locally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes there are issues when a person is disabled being able to get back into the backup data set for that user. But we have been able to get around it each tim. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The web console UI is great and easy to use, and my users think it's magic when I restore a lost/deleted file directly to their device. Administrating the CrashPlan platform was been a breeze. Customer support has been prompt and very helpful in my experience. When we first deployed (onsite hosted) CrashPlan, I was still a newbie in IT and one of their techs patiently walked me through creating my firewall objects & rules to get the service running.

One of the standout features of CrashPlan by Code42 is its simplicity. From the installation process to regular updates, everything is straightforward and user-friendly. We particularly appreciate the flexibility it offers with multiple backup sets and different intervals. This allows us to customize our backup strategy based on the importance of our data, ensuring critical files are backed up frequently while optimizing storage usage. CrashPlan's simplicity and flexibility make it a top choice for our data backup needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While CrashPlan excels in efficiently recovering files, one area that could be improved is the actual download speed during the recovery process. When dealing with large files or in urgent recovery situations, faster download speeds would be beneficial. Additionally, CrashPlan's limited support for older Windows versions may pose compatibility challenges for users with outdated hardware or operating systems. Lastly, the administration dashboard, while functional, could benefit from a design refresh to enhance the user interface and make it more visually appealing.

The protection from ransomware was our main reason for using. We already used Microsoft onedrive for storage. But needed something to recover in case a computer was compromised. The fact that users can recover their own files is also a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If I move a computer from one user to another it is not real easy to change the code42 user for that machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Crashplan has been an essential part of our business needs by allowing for a whole workstation backup, rather than just a sub-set of folders which MS OneDrive allows.
