What do you like best about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

Backblaze has significantly higher availability than the S3-alternative cloud provider we switched from and will simultaneously save us money. We had problems with our previous provider and switched over to Backblaze the same day. We had a seamless experience onboarding despite the large amonut of data we switched over on short notice. Further, support has been excellent. We had an onboarding call and were able to speak with technical representatives who worked through our use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

We primarily interface through the CLI and custom tooling, but find the front-end user experience is a little clumsy. We are logged out very frequently, which makes it hard to task switch when administring buckets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed reliable, lower-cost hot storage for high-volume, distributed production workloads. We had problems with another lower-cost S3-alternative that caused us to switch to Backblaze in a hurry. We've found that we're saving money and improving the reliability of our services at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage is easy, runs in the background AND gives regular monthly reports which my previous cloud storage vendor did not. The fee also feels very reasonable with a lot of space provided for that fee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

The report they provide on a regular basis is not necessarily written in terms a layperson (aka non-tech) can readily understand. Other than that, I love everything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage solving and how is that benefiting you?

Trusted, safe automatic backup in case I have to do a restore at any point. It's also a duplication of what my external hard drive captures locally, giving me double coverage and peace of mind. I cannot speak to the ease of recovery since I have yet to need that feature, though I have the feeling it will be easy and complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

Reliable: Backblaze Cloud Backup is a reliable backup solution. My data will always be available when I need it, and I don't have to worry about losing my files due to downtime or other issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

While Backblaze Cloud Backup is an excellent backup solution overall, one potential downside is that it only offers a single device backup plan. This may be limiting for individuals or businesses with multiple devices that need to be backed up. Additionally, while Backblaze's encryption technology is strong, some users may prefer the ability to use their own encryption keys for added security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage solving and how is that benefiting you?

As someone who heavily relies on their computer for both personal and professional use, the thought of losing all of my important files is a major source of stress. However, since I started using Backblaze Cloud Backup, I have been able to breathe a little easier knowing that all of my data is safely backed up and easily retrievable in case of an unexpected loss or data breach. Backblaze's user-friendly interface and affordable pricing have also made it a seamless addition to my daily routine, giving me the peace of mind to focus on what really matters without worrying about the safety and security of my data.
