I would consider Backblaze as a second or a third tier backup solution. Not in terms of quality, but I'd recommend having at least one more backup saved somewhere else. And with the cost as low as theirs, Backblaze is the perfect solution. It also provides very friendly recovery options on both the personal and business side.

For the business public, solutions like One Drive may seem somewhat complex and solutions such as Dropbox or Google Drive may be too basic. Cubby gives you that balance sought by small and medium enterprises.

  • For what my company needs, I cannot think of anything more or better they could do, though a birthday card would be fun!

  • Since we are already a LogMeIn Rescue customer we are a fan of their products. We really do not see a lot that Cubby does not do for us that we need to do.
  • It would be nice to have a built-in password manager/keeper to share using the Cubby cloud storage. Users can share files in a secure manner, so why not be able to share passwords with them securely as well.

Usability
Since Backblaze added S3 compatibility a few years ago, it's become the most perfect online backup solution.
I also like their transparency in describing their platform and the reports of hard drive reliability are very interesting.
The free egress is priceless, too.

The LogMeIn company has always been very helpful and quick to respond to all of our support requests and just "how to" question we may have.

Alternatives Considered
Because they continuously had times they required updating the account and there were hiccups when that happened, over time, I became skeptical of their ability to keep my files secure. They were the first cloud backup storage company I had ever used and I stayed with them for almost two decades. Then it happened that we did have to do a recovery two different times because of hardware failures. It was anything but a smooth or complete recovery, and their price kept rising as their service declined. Hundreds of files were totally lost in the process. I guessed that among their strategies, it might well have been a re-focus on their part to build up their enterprise accounts and didn't seem to care about small business. I finally had enough and left them as a client.

I think Cubby is very comparable with all the others such as Drop Box, OneDrive, Box, and Google Drive. They all do similar things. But, I am not aware that the others will let you secure a document that is particularly sensitive in nature

Return on Investment
  • The per-byte pricing has saved us 30% over the competing Wasabi service which charges on a three-month minimum which causes us to pay for deleted objects.

  • Saves on-site storage resources by allowing for file sharing in the cloud.
  • Nice to be able to share files with someone that happens to be working off-site.
