Used for both peer-to-peer and cloud backup.Pros and Cons
- "It required very little ongoing maintenance once setup."
- "It has quite a bit of flexibility in configuring backup sets."
- "It had the ability to preseed by sending in a data drive and could restore by sending the user a data drive."
- "Due to recent changes that effectively abandoned an entire segment of their user base, I no longer trust nor can recommend Code42 products."
- "The application, written in Java, required far more system resources on a Client than other solutions."
What other advice do I have?

We use it to migrate users to new machines and rebuild existing ones that have had HDD failures
Pros and Cons
- "Backup and recovery have been great, but I love having the ability to keep the hybrid type build which they offer."
- "More security would be nice, I would love to be able to remotely brick a stolen laptop and it's hard disk drive (HDD)."
What other advice do I have?
This software is designed to be set up and forget it for the users, but as an admin, you have reports that can help you prove it's continued existence. It's probably the best backup tool available, but that's just my opinion. Try for yourself and decide.it_user752553

Completely changed our legal hold process from pulling drives and locking them in safes to a few clicks
Pros and Cons
- "Security tools: Being able to monitor data going in and coming off our endpoints. Seeing what it is and where it's going is awesome."
- "Reporting could use an overhaul. It is very limited."
What other advice do I have?
This was the best ones that I tested. I loved it then and still love it now. Plan for high network traffic during roll-outs and initial backups. We spread out the backups as much as we could, but used the network locations and throttled different locations based on their bandwidth.it_user294354

Keep up the great work. Ideally, we could have used the Windows Storage Server 2012 that was on a storage appliance we purchased, but by reinstalling, we were able to support the software on the original hardware that was purchased, just not with the Storage Server 2012 operating system from Windows.it_user533700

What other advice do I have?
This is an endpoint backup solution. Do not look to them for server or database backup; that is not what they excel at. Laptops and desktops where you need user files only is what this product is designed for.

Deployment is automation-friendly and the integration with LDAP for access control management is seamless. But, rarely, and only on OS X, the backup agent would need to be stopped and re-installed.

It has Continuous backup, cross-platform deployment, ease of recovery, flexible storage destinations, low CPU footprint.
What other advice do I have?
I'd encourage even smaller businesses to contact Code42 and express interest in purchasing CrashPlan PROe licenses. It's simply the best option out there for multiplatform continuous backup, and I would like to think that the developers would prefer market penetration even in the small business sector to the marginally higher projection stability of higher-volume licensing.it_user407556

Contributing author at a media company with 51-200 employees
The service is easy to use, easy to maintain, and easy to recover files if things go wrong.
Valuable Features:
CrashPlan, in general, is a great tool to have because backups are essential. The service is easy to use, easy to maintain, and easy to recover files if things go wrong. The service is reasonably priced, but you won't even consider the cost if something goes wrong and you need your files back. Recommended. I use CrashPlan at home and at work.Improvements to My Organization:
Allows easy recovery of data, and that's the most important part.Room for Improvement:
The GUI could use improvement, but generally it's fine.Use of Solution:

It's equally useful for file recovery or simply moving a user to a new computer.
What other advice do I have?
Even with the trend of moving data to the cloud, end-point backup remains a critical necessity in the modern end-user computing environment. Systems fail, users delete data, users switch computers and things still go wrong and make backups a necessity. CrashPlan is equally useful for file recovery or simply moving a user to a new computer. The best part of CrashPlan is that is just works. Its a solid, well-written product with great support that give users a sense of security about the data that keeps the business working. Read Moreit_user357099

It's proven to be a backup and restore solution that's unobtrusive, but they could reduce the price.
What other advice do I have?
Computer users do not back up their files. Or they back them up on external hard drives that they keep in the laptop bag. When bad things happen, they can't retrieve them. CrashPlan solves that problem. CrashPlan has proven to be a backup AND restore solution when other solutions were only "good" at backing up. Restore? Not a priority with other "solutions." CrashPlan allows my employees to think about business, not whether their files are backed up. CrashPlan has proven to be reliable and unobtrusive to the user experience.

You can schedule it with the client or push it out with group policy, but you'll need to negotiate the lowest price for licensing.
Michael Madayag
IT System Administrator with 1,001-5,000 employees
Its UI is very intuitive for both the end users and admins, but download speeds could be faster when restoring from the cloud.
What other advice do I have?
Crashplan has saved my company from a great deal of data loss. I recently recommended Crashplan Pro for Small Business to a family member and it has saved them from complete loss of data due to a catastrophic hard drive failure.it_user262119
Assistant Director of University Card Services with 501-1,000 employees
With up-to-date backups, it's helped us keep several executives happy when kryptolocker visited, but we could benefit from multi-user support.
What other advice do I have?
This backup solution seems to be the best on the market. Ease of usability, both on the administrative side and the customer side, make it worth the install alone. Add in the stability and constant reassurance of knowing your files are only a download away is next to none.it_user261405
Senior System Administrator at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees
The web console allows me to see all of my users and their devices, and to manage my various licenses.
What other advice do I have?
The biggest question that I am asked by my users is "Are you sure it's running? I don't notice it - it's not slowing me down." That's a big compliment to the software.it_user261306

Setup and configuration are easy, but I'd like to see some better options with account management.

We no longer have to be concerned about losing data to drive failures or user error.Room for Improvement

None, it went flawlessly.Stability Issues
I have had a remote storage server fail to start a couple times. Its a simple fix since the service backs up all its settings and lets you just re-install to get right back to where you were.Customer Service and Technical Support
Code42 has excellent customer support. We always get prompt replies to e-mails, and their phone/chat support has yet to let usOther

ITS Support Analyst II with 501-1,000 employees
Helpful when migrating users from one machine to another, but there's no support for multi-user environments.
What other advice do I have?
This product is great for data recovery. There have been several times that CrashPlan has saved us from data loss due to viral, malware attacks. A year ago the cryptolocker virus was running pretty rampant and any time it got into a machine we were always able to wipe it clean and restore without issues. If Code42 can figure out the multi-user environment issue this product would be hands down a must have.it_user261576
IT Director at a tech vendor
We have been able to keep backups of mobile/laptop data reliable for the end user in case there is a major incident, but I'm waiting for an app that can be installed on smartphones and tablets.
What other advice do I have?
Again great solution and great company.it_user261339
Systems Administrator Asst. at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees
It keeps back ups simple, but it tends to time-out with slower connections.
Valuable Features:
Quiet running and easy to administrate.Improvements to My Organization:
Problem users never "forget" to back up.Room for Improvement:
In the places we have slower connections it has a time out problem. A time setting would be nice so we can set these clients to backup after hours.Use of Solution:
two yearsScalability Issues:
We just keep adding licenses. No issues. We went from 10 to 50 to over 300 seats now.Other Advice:
Everyone has a backup now. In daily work life it is easy to forget to backup your files. This makes it simple.
Deron Turner
Data Center Technician with 1,001-5,000 employees
It has restored files we thought were lost because of computer crashes, but there were licensing and storage issues with scaling.
What is most valuable?
Set and forget. Easy to install and update. Client is never aware that it is even running and backing up their data without utilizing much computational power.How has it helped my organization?
Restored files that we have lost due to computer crashing, as well as many other problems that we have been able to restore project essential files.What needs improvement?

Other than licensing issues and limited amount of data storage, but that is expected with scaling.How are customer service and technical support?

All users save locally instead of to a network drive, which saves cost, but backing up required ports.
What other advice do I have?
This is by far the best cloud-based backup solution. If you are looking into cloud solutions, stop. Purchase Crashplan and never lose a night's sleep again.it_user261273

The enterprise edition has centralized management for all devices being backed up on our domain, and the data is encrypted before leaving our machines.
CrashPlan is an excellent backup product. Unlike many backup solutions, it has a lightweight client that I don't even know is there. The enterprise edition has centralized management for all devices being backed up on our domain, and the data is encrypted before leaving our machines. The restore function can be a little cumbersome when restoring from the centralized management console, however the client based restore is relatively simple.

Easy to use but needs a deployment tool to aid implementation
What is most valuable?
Available across multiple-platforms.How has it helped my organization?
Ease of use as compared to its competitors.What needs improvement?
The administration side as reporting ability is lacking.For how long have I used the solution?
2 yearsWhat was my experience with deployment of the solution?
Yes. Many, but it came from outside of the product.What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Not too much.What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Very little. But without a working deployment tool, it becomes very challenging to deploy to 500+ people.How are customer service and technical support?
Customer Service: Best support portal I have ever used. Technical Support: Great so far.Which solution did I use
