We didn't use a particular service in an enterprise environment. We used different environments. We used some of the earlier renditions of Microsoft in terms of its compliance manager tool set. We also used another tool, which was primarily an e-discovery tool that we leveraged into utilization, like a DLP system. There was another tool called InfoGPS, which was really good for financial areas and banking, but beyond that, it really wasn't a good fit.

The primary benefit that we saw was the company itself. They had an advisory team that could help us in terms of onboarding it in terms of where to look and in terms of supporting different technology platforms. They were able to give us some insights into training. They had a pretty decent Insider Risk Management Training program. Security awareness fits into that as well. We could target the training for different client requirements, which was pretty nice.

Previously we had many different backup solutions deployed across different businesses and geographical area. That made for a very insecure and inconsistent experience for our endusers.

We used Carbonite who promised enterprise management tools but did not deliver after 24 months. Code42 sold a finished product that delivered on its promise.

Mozy, was clunky and changed their pricing, and we also wanted unlimited data.

Client was previously relying on each user to back up their own system on an ad hoc basis, using Windows Backup, Time Machine, or drag and drop. This was not sustainable.

Our previous backup solution for local files was external hard drives and scheduled backups. This is highly flawed if the user is not attached to it at the time the task is scheduled. CrashPlan solves that problem by always running (or on a set schedule) whenever an internet connection is present.

No. We started out with a CrashPlan deployment as we had nothing in place prior. We needed a solution for this issue and selected CrashPlan as the solution.

There was no full-featured backup solution (ie: complete file revision history and on-demand restores) in place at the time that CrashPlan was chosen.

We switched from a fragmented hodge podge of different systems for different offices based on availability and suitability for that office. Moving to a single endpoint solution greatly reduced our management time and weekly reports keep us on top of any changes or problems.

The old system was gasping for air in every aspect you could imagine. The company had been sold twice and when we left they were still in transition flux.

I have no information on this topic.

We did not previously use a different solution, and we did not switch.

We didn't previously use a different solution.

We didn't try anything before this, but our central IT department did offer a competitor. We found it to be far too rigid and it didn't fit our needs.

We had looked at a few personal cloud backup options, but CrashPlan had the most aggressive pricing and has proven to be very reliable.

We used backup exec ans the windows embedded backup software. Neither of these offered an truly cloud backup. It always required someone to carry the backups offsite.

Both of these were very hard to centrally manage for remote users that don't get to the home office often.

We previously used a tape backup system. This seemed a bit archaic, and the turnaround on getting users back up and running after a full system crash/loss of data was unacceptable.

No, we did not.

No

We ended up switching due to unfriendly user experience, as well as reliability and lack of functionality. The pricing was not that different and we felt we got so much more from the product.

We used the Windows backup utility. We switched to enable us to have better visibility on what and how often our equipment was being backed up.

Previously used Roaming profiles which caused issues all the time with our windows/mac environment. This software is well worth the price to prevent issues from arising.

We used Symantec Back Up Exec. It was cumbersome to navigate. We have no tapes or hard disk back ups on campus any longer. We've moved to Code 42's CrashPlan for file servers, media servers, administrator laptops.

Not really, we had experimented with Mozy and Carbonite, but Crashplan impressed us with the intuitive UI and impressive feature list.

Tape backups were taking too long. They were not reliable. We were not able to restore files quickly. We didn't have the version history that we desired.

Yes, we used Retrospect and we switched because Retrospect couldn't backup when computers were out of the office, and the system would frequently freeze and stop backing up devices and we would just have to delete and restart the backup.

We did not have any solutions to compare to and chose Code42 because it just works. I'm glad we didn't use any other solution. It saved us time from ripping out another backup plan.

We did not have any solutions to compare to and chose Code42 because it just works. It is a wonderful relief to know that user data can be backed up to or restored from the cloud from anywhere there is an internet connection.

No I was not using any other solution before we started using Crashplan. We knew that we would need something after we ran into some issues that were difficult to recover from.

We previously used USB drives with Microsoft's backup, but the rate of failure was high, the reliability low.

We were using GFI backup / freeware. This is more automated.

The software we were using was not very good at all. It required too much user intervention and many users just simply did not perform backups. Now, they do not really need to pay attention to it and we can run reports if we would like to.

Yes; unreliable

We previously had random solutions and nothing unified across platforms.

Yes, Lenovo Online Backup was a nightmare. I'm so happy we got rid of that. Code42 CrashPlan is lightyears ahead. They were not able to provide solutions like Legal Hold or even simply the capability to search for files within the console.

We have three solutions in place, Crashplan is one of them. Crashplan is our 'anything and everything' solution, for any system that is non-critical or just probably should be backed up. We use another appliance-based system for critical backups and pushes those off to a cloud service, and then we use another dedicated system that shares the Crashplan storage for virtual servers.

We had discussed using a workstation backup solution in the past, but we had not optioned one. Code42 came to us by accident, and at the same time as we were getting hit with ransomware. It seemed like a natural fit.

The reason for us moving over to CrashPlan was cost and retention. We saved the company $6000 a year using CrashPlan and no more "surprise, you are out of space" messages.

Yes. We didn't like the fact that our previous solution relied on VPN to work. It was also more intrusive and didn't back up with the frequency we wanted.

n/a

no

We used Microsoft Data Protection Manager before, but it was Windows Only, and it was pretty hard to backup off-site computers.

Crashplan was easier to use for the end users and administrators.

We use Symantec Endpoint Protection as well as Crashplan for backups, and Crashplan is the only one we have yet to have issues with.

i never used a solution for backup , i used well hardware solutons but not an offsite or cloud solution before crashplan , but it has been a really good experience and when customers lost data restoration had been really helpfull and fast and i have not get any complaints from our customers using crashplan .

We had several different solutions.

We tried IDrive,and local windows backup. The inability to monitor or change configurations on the fly was a show stopper.

We used MozyPro previously. The per-GB charge was causing the price to skyrocket.

In-house developed a backup application, but we switched because it was outdated and nowhere near as good as CrashPlan.

Yes, we used Carbonite. The product seemed to back up our files OK, but when it came time to restore, we were unimpressed. The restore was limited to 18GB per day. NO good when the VP has 600+GB to restore.

Not sure as for the company

Yes, we used a lot of endpoint backup like Cobian, Uranium.

But there was nothing like CrashPlan, when you try a software like this it's difficult to come back.

No.

Yes, we used Connected backup. The system was abused after being passed around to different people and it got to a point where restores would be failing on compressed files. Mainly .pst files.

No.

SOS online backup. Their admin console was a joke, could never tell if backups had been completed, and restoring could only be done file by file.

I am not aware of any previous solutions used here at my company, since we've only used CrashPlan since I started.

Yes. People hated our previous solution as it required vpn and bogged down CPU.
