What do you like best about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

I use both the computer backup and cloud storage services.

The computer backup is very low-maintenance, I don't get noise about issues. I have it set up to back up both a Windows computer and a Linux server and both of them seem to stay current without manual intervention.

I like that the cloud backup provides a lot of "standard" ways to send files including SFTP. Very flexible! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

Honestly there is not much I don't like. I wish there was more detail in the traffic reports for the cloud storage but that's not really what it's intended for anyway. (The frontend would be a better place to do that.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage:

I tried a few services and Backblaze is the best value. I was worried that their pricing structure would "nickel and dime me" but it's been the opposite experience. I'm spending less than I was, and happier with the result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I tried several backup solutions and also really needed to grow into cloud storage to manage video distribution for live presentations. Backblaze solves both. I produce live concerts and events and sometimes need to move large files. I can upload them to the CDN and give clients a private link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

As a visual artist, the most important features of Backblaze are that it can handle my evergrowing archive of images in a very straightforward and cost-effective way giving me at the same time a feeling of peace of mind and trustworthiness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

It is only an online backup drive for archival purposes, but it's not design to navigate the archive. If I try to browse the content of my body of work within Backblaze, I am faced with the limitation that there are not previews or thumbnails available. It is not a tool that takes into consideration people like me, but it is probably the best tool in the market for everything else. That's why I stick with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage:

Make sure you don't need to access your files online, particularly if you work with image file formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Backblaze has given me the peace of mind that my images are stored in the cloud in a reliable and safe drive that is fairly simple to setup and it's cost-effective for my practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

I've been using Backblaze and their computer backup program for years. It's been rock solid, and restores are super easy. It's so good, I brought them to my workplace and used them to back up every single team member's computers for peace of mind. With the increased growth of B2 now, it has become a crucial part of our arsenal of tools to protect our client's secure data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

There's nothing to dislike. My only recommendation would be adding additional EU ingest points for B2 data (and maybe they have that, I don't know.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

By using B2 for backup storage instead of AWS S3, we are saving hundreds of dollars a year in storage costs. Since its S3-compatible, we can use many existing tools, plugins, and APIs to get our data there quickly and easily. Hard to argue with the cost savings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

BackBlaze offers exceptional quality at an unbeatable price. Service stability, speed, S3 compatibility and convenient API are among the many advantages of B2. The service is ideal as a backup, content delivery network, or file sharing tool. Due to the characteristics of cloud storage I do not have to worry about additional security. Integration with cloudflare is something absolutely unbeatable.

What do you dislike about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

Sometimes uploads to backblaze servers do not reach full speed. Additionally, the file management panel can be unintuitive. I think the team should improve the handling of file lifetimes and their deletions. It is not always fully intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Backblaze provides a seamless CDN. I also use it for file transfer and as an extra backup for my data. A huge benefit is the integration with CloudFlare allowing for even faster content delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

Easy to set up, not expensive, and you can group storage units by whatever you like - I group by client so I can logically separate the data. Billing is also shown by groups so I can easily see who to charge what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

Pricing could be lower for my use-case but it's fairly comparable to other solutions and is integrated with some of the systems I use, so it's easier to use this and pay than make another platform with the the systems I use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Backing up client data from NAS devices is the primary use-case for me. We use QNAP hardware and the inbuilt software that is offered includes Backblaze as one of the storage providers. So ease of setup is strong here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

The two things that I appreciate most about Backblaze are the ease of setup and the responsiveness of their technical support team. Setup took me less than ten minutes and when I had an issue, their support team ressponded within a day to help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

I haven't had any issues with Backblaze. Rather, my irritation has been with other "connectors" that I need to connect to Backblaze. The only initial limitation is the amount of data you can transfer per day on a trial account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

A few of my clients were adverse to having their website backups stored in Amazon's S3. I needed to find an alternative and comparable solution that would satisfy their needs and provide the reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use. The online views of the storage is great. The pricing is fantastic for the amount you get Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

A couple of things I'd like to see changed added is true company logins, easier for accountings to be able to see what is going on and make payments. And the ability to change the alerts a little more than what currently exists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Secondary back up for our company storage. By setting this up quickly, I was able to get terabytes of data starting to be backed up after only a day of realization that it wasn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

The first thing that i love is the Price. It really has no comparison with Azure, AWS, or other big competitors which can cost 4 times more.

Then it has to be said. It works really well, that's exactly what we expect.

Its S3 Compatible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage?

To be honest, the User interface could look a bit more modern and polished but that's just a personal preference. Regarding the product, I have no complaints at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage:

If you feel your expenses on Amazon S3 or similar are becoming too high, maybe it's time to try alternatives for your object storage. Backblaze is a great alternative and you will save a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Backblaze is helping to serve assets to some of my websites through their B2 Object storage service. With that said, it's helping me save money . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
