Code42 Incydr Benefits

Chuck_Mackey - PeerSpot reviewer
Director, Cybersecurity Consulting at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

It is an enterprise system, so it can be used in a medium size to large size company, but the thing that we look for is data loss prevention. That's critical for us. The ability to protect against intellectual property theft, the overall insider threat prevention, and then data exfiltration is valuable to us. Many of our clients are concerned about data being exfiltrated from their organization, unbeknownst to them. That's an area around which we create visibility.

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.

CrashPlan has placed the power of backup and restore back into the hands of the user and greatly lessened the time it takes to associate a user with their own backups and revision history.

Deployment of CrashPlan is extremely automation-friendly and the integration with LDAP for access control management is seamless.

IT Officer at a non-profit with 501-1,000 employees

My company works in the developing world. Cloud backup is not always an option. Most other solutions that have an option for local backup require connectivity to local LAN to handle reporting or configuration changes.

CrashPlan allows us to bridge that over the internet so that we can have full reporting on what that office's backup situation is without heavily impacting their connectivity which can be as low as 256K down 128K up to 10 users. Our cloud backup and our local office backup with CrashPlan now works seamlessly from a single control panel.

CrashPlan has allowed us to back up smaller field offices not on our VPN locally, but still retain global reporting on backup status, as well as backing up our high-bandwidth offices to the cloud. It has increased our version retention from daily to every 15 min. Restoration of files from the admin console has allowed us to do no-user interaction restoration of files across vast distances.

Our office was located in an area that was prone to hurricanes, flooding, and tornadoes prior to moving not too long ago and we have experienced data loss due to natural disasters. We're also a smaller organization, which limits some of the more complex management capabilities (Active Directory, GPOs, etc.) that can be used to control machines. We end up with ransomware infections as a result and Crashplan gives us a way to get our work back without loss and ensure that data loss due to natural disasters is a thing of the past.

On several occasions staff members have had to open up CrashPlan PROe, log in and begin restoring files. There are numerous scenarios where this has happened. A keynote deck went missing, possibly trashed by accident, and it was recovered. A user had their laptop stolen and had to get back up and running on a new one right away: they fired up CrashPlan, selected the last backup of their missing laptop and restored everything to the original locations. I even used CrashPlan to recreate a system error I was researching by restoring the problem files after I had addressed them.
