CrashPlan – Bewertungsseite 4

Vorteile

Crash plan lets you back up all of your files from a computer and limits based on computers instead of data. So I can backup my video editing machine (terabytes of data) for a great price.

Nachteile

I can't find a good way to access my backups. It isn't really a cloud service or a way to access files from other places or store previous versions of files like other services like iDrive it Google drive, it's basically what the name says, a plan for if your computer crashes.

Vorteile

I installed it and it does its thing. Never a problem. Always backed up.

Nachteile

Cost is a bit high for the product. But competitive.

Vorteile

1) Internet-based backup 2) ability to set backup frequency and retention policies 3) customer service is outstanding.

Nachteile

Built-in reporting lacks a little.

Vorteile

Backs up silently. It doesn't take too much computer resources to run, making it run really smooth.
User interface is really simple and easy to use

Nachteile

The text color use in the user interface log in screen could be changed to a dark black instead of grey, making it easier for users to read it.

Vorteile

Great UI
Easy to Manage
Continuous backup
On Premise server (if desired, public cloud is the default)

Nachteile

none that i think of at the moment.

Vorteile

Off-site backups, easy backups and restore

Nachteile

May take time to upload/download files based on internet speeds and amount of data being transferred

Vorteile

Reliable, easy to use and maintain. Customer service.

Nachteile

None that we have found.

Vorteile

I like that our system information is protected and we have back up availability in the event of a system failure.

Nachteile

It's not super user-friendly and definitely takes some training. The interface is not one that a user can simply open and understand how it works.

Vorteile

I love the fact that Crashplan is constantly backing up new data to the cloud, and does not use up all of the computer's resources to do so. I love the migration tool when we are imaging and deploying a new set up as well! I think the Administrative console is easy to use and the product is easy for the users to use as well.

Vorteile

Very easy to set up. You can set it up and almost literally forget that it is there. It odes what it says it does and it does it very well.

Nachteile

Large installations can get pricey. Phone technical support can get busy and require a callback.

Vorteile

Once installed on the computer or server you would like backed up you never have to touch it again really. I've now installed this on 6 different machines in our business that I wanted to be backed up offsite and it works seamlessly and effortlessly. It runs in the background and has tons of settings in which you can modify how you want the backup to occur. You can choose which files, how often, when, how much bandwidth to use, how much CPU to use, and does it with ease.

Nachteile

I can't really come up with much of a con really. I use this as a company expense so that makes the price easier to swallow but I can still see this being useful for a single user at home as well.

Vorteile

Simple interface, excellent support, and the peace of mind knowing that your users are backed up.

Nachteile

Other than the occasional client crash on computers, everything seems to be spectacular.

Vorteile

Keeps backup safe and simple. Utilizes less system resources that it doesn't slow down the computer. Backups can be easily restored with few clicks. User friendly and good support.

Nachteile

On rare occasions backup doesn't work sometimes even after multiple restarts. The app can be more visible regarding the backup speeds and time left.

Vorteile

This is a great software that runs in the background like most back-up/recovery/encryption services out there. It allows me to work through our network or even with files on my own harddrive without having to worry about losing everything or having risk of serious security events like Ransomware attacks.

Nachteile

For the most part, my cons with CrashPlan are minimal and insignificant. File searches are useful but I wish they were quicker (but of course patience isn't in great supply when you're looking urgently for a necessary file). The security dashboard/overview is also a bit elementary in display.

Vorteile

I have never had a data loss under crash plan, or a single user that could not use it to its fullest.

Nachteile

initial backup is time consuming

Vorteile

This product is very easy to use and setup. It's a great tool to have to allow your date to backup in the background while you are using your machine on the network.

Nachteile

I would say the two cons that I can think of would be the slowness of some of the backups that I have to see occur and it would be nice to have offsite backing up available.

Vorteile

The simplicity of using the software is amazing. The customer support is there 100%. They are constantly looking to improve their product from those of us who utilize the software. Not many companies out there that actually listen to the end user. Code 42 does.

Nachteile

Truthfully some look at the pricing as an issue. For the quality service they offer it is well worth the price and then some. Knowing that important data has been backed up and not losing it is priceless.

Vorteile

Excellent interface. Easy to setup multiple backup jobs. Scheduled jobs also launched automatically with little to no issues. Log files also were useful.

Nachteile

Went to be PAY model and could no longer be used for personal use. Was forced to uninstall and find another product. Was extremely disappointed.

Vorteile

Great Admin console, easy to assign privileges among users, create OU's

Nachteile

The support documentation can be overwhelming for the huge amount of information

Vorteile

I run several small businesses from my laptop. That makes the fear of data loss a huge looming threat constantly. I'd make backups of my backups on top of my backups. "Just in case". It was stressful and took up so much of my time. With CrashPlan, I no longer have to worry. I make my usual backup to my MyCloud storage here and home once a week, and know that Crashplan has my back as well, if my MyCloud fails for any reason. There's no longer a need to backup on multiple devices everywhere 'just in case'. The time and energy saved enables me to be more productive at actually working, instead of protecting.

Nachteile

I'd love an integration with the WDMyCloud, so I could sync my regular backup at the same time, but that's just me being fussy and wanting it all, really.

Vorteile

I like that once the software is set to run, I don't have to do any more admin.

Nachteile

Several times, CrashPlan stopped working on some of my employees' computers and there was no notification.

Vorteile

When I first used it and installed it for customers, it worked well and was a reasonable price. The user interface was easy enough to use.

Nachteile

They killed the home backup service. Also, the software became unreliable. It would fail to reach the backup servers. A reinstall would fix it, for a time. And then it would fail again. There are numerous reports of this and the troubleshooting steps never seemed to resolve the issue.

Vorteile

Super efficient, quick, easy on resources

Nachteile

Could be a penny cheaper. Sorry, just can't think of much.

Vorteile

Once installed, CrashPlan runs in the background and provide seamless data backup and storage to the cloud or an external hard drive. They have affordable pricing and plans for small businesses.

Nachteile

The initial set up can be a little bit cumbersome but otherwise, I have not had any issues.

Vorteile

The program just works. It does a great job at backing up your stuff. As well the price is just unbelievable. We have used CrashPlan for 7 years now.

Nachteile

Every once in awhile it takes a bit to get the backup engine started, but that is usually only once or twice a year after an update.

Vorteile

Very easy to set up. You can set it up and almost literally forget that it is there. It odes what it says it does and it does it very well.

Nachteile

I wish they would find a way to have this Crashplan as an app that would back up your iPhone or Android device.

Vorteile

Reliable back-ups, easy administration

Nachteile

Java can be a day wrecker

Vorteile

It is a good back up system overall and has a free version. It can back up an entire network from a windows server

Nachteile

the cache will eat space if you use this on a workstation. You can resolve this by clearing the cache but it fills up again. Make sure you have enough space for the cache!

Vorteile

Reliable, easy to deploy, great value.

Nachteile

It's not free, but what in this world is?

Vorteile

Ease of use.
Great customer support

Nachteile

Learning curve is a bit high

Vorteile

Easy Setup
Easy Restores
Unlimited Retention

Nachteile

None that I can think of

Vorteile

Code42 CrashPlan application is very easy to deploy and even easier to maintain.

Deployed the application to over 150 field sales associates with little or no input or assistance.

The application is almost self maintaining.

Used the restore functionality on many occasions and have been successful in keeping our field sales associates technologically ready and current.

Easy to deployment, easy to use, and a great support team.

Nachteile

The movement from Cold Storage could use a little more work. upload speed is a bit slow, be prepared to wait. This is not a problem with the product, but a problem with ISPs.

Vorteile

I chose to use this product as it is a great balance of value and functionality. I use it to backup my entire home desktop computer contents .

Nachteile

What I don't like is that the files are not stored in the cloud as the same directory format as they are on my computer. I would like to just be able to go there and download a single file if I needed to.

Vorteile

I have been searching for the right backup tool and finally I found it. I had only two criteria: do the backup job dependably and possess an easy-to-use user interface. I am glad that I found CrashPlan, it meets both criteria.

Nachteile

Sometimes it occupies the CPU a bit more than it would be unobserved, but it is far from the disturbing level.

Vorteile

The product itself is great, and the price is extremely competitive for what is essentially unlimited storage. When it's working, it's very light on footprint.

Nachteile

The new interface in the new software needs work. A lot of work. It's extremely counter-intuitive, especially in comparison to the older (4.x) version of the software. The windows service is also prone to crashing.

Vorteile

The ease of use from an end user perspective, it dramatically reduces the amount of time needed to restore due to lost data.

Vorteile

Well, the pricing is great. And, it's a product that is super easy to use! It runs quietly in the background so it's not obtrusive and it protects our data as promised.

Vorteile

Ease of use from an Admin and End User point of view, deployment is easy, backups are accomplished without fail. Time saved in reinstalling user data is almost immeasurable.

Nachteile

With any product it seems the biggest issue is End User error. While the issue is not with the product itself, it is end users either backing up everything on their machine or not saving data to folders that were specified.

Vorteile

Great peace of mind for keeping your data safe from failing hard drives, file corruption, and ransomware.

Nachteile

Setup includes language that would not be easily understood by the average consumers. Not recommended for the less tech-savvy.

Vorteile

Easy to use, very user friendly. Reasonably priced.

Nachteile

Love everything.

Vorteile

Excellent Customer Service - Anytime I have had issues my support has been stellar.
Ease of Use - I like that once it's installed for a user it keeps out of the way and protects their data without them having to think about it.

Nachteile

I'd like to see some better customization of the application and better support for installing the app with automated tools.

Vorteile

Central dashboard, on the fly changes to configuration, ability to have multiple configurations for backups. Easy setup and installation.

Nachteile

Newest version requires local server. Won't work well for our configuration.

Vorteile

Safe the day if your computer crashed. You will get all your documents

Nachteile

None I do not have anything negative about crashplan.

Vorteile

For the price it's one of the best offsite backup services
Speed seemed fine as long as you have a good connection

Nachteile

The software feels so old and dated that it's not fun to use. Other offsite services have nicer apps

Vorteile

The software is well developed, and the features were outstanding on the personal side of things. Intuitive and straightforward.

Nachteile

Now they are only business software and as a result their prices are climbing. It no longer stands out in the industry like it once did.

Vorteile

Great solid backup application, just install, setup the account, select some drives, and they will be backed up. Set it and forget it.

Nachteile

Not much to complain about, but their admin page does not allow us to automatically get an emailed invoice. So every month I have to login, go to the invoice section, download the invoice, and email it to our finance team.

Vorteile

It's fast at backing up my data and it's able to retain my files even if I removed them from my HDD (even on purpose). It's can also backup my external HDD whenever I attach it.

Nachteile

The backup process can slow down my system, so I had to designate certain hours as backup periods. I usually do this over the weekend so during the week I get e-mail messages that my computer's not been backed up. In this case the messages are useless - they could factor in the designated backup times.

Vorteile

Starting an account and installing the software is easy, and everything runs in the background with very low resource requirements.

Nachteile

Occasionally, the services require manual maintenance, which isn't ideal for mass deployments. There are also some default settings which are implemented naively; look out for it trying to back up a page file unsuccessfully.
