Customer Service:
Top notch, I have never had such a great experience with a company.
Technical Support:10/10
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
SOS online backup. Their admin console was a joke, could never tell if backups had been completed, and restoring could only be done file by file.
How was the initial setup?
Straightforward, I had a rep stay on the phone with me and help.
What other advice do I have?
This is by far the best cloud-based backup solution. If you are looking into cloud solutions, stop. Purchase Crashplan and never lose a night's sleep again.

Contributing author at a media company with 51-200 employees
The service is easy to use, easy to maintain, and easy to recover files if things go wrong.
Valuable Features:
CrashPlan, in general, is a great tool to have because backups are essential. The service is easy to use, easy to maintain, and easy to recover files if things go wrong. The service is reasonably priced, but you won't even consider the cost if something goes wrong and you need your files back. Recommended. I use CrashPlan at home and at work.
Improvements to My Organization:
Allows easy recovery of data, and that's the most important part.
Room for Improvement:
The GUI could use improvement, but generally it's fine.
Use of Solution:
I've used the home solution for two years now. I have over 1.5TB stored on their servers.
Deployment Issues:
We've had no issues with deployment.
Stability Issues:
We've had no issues with stability.
Scalability Issues:
We've had no issues with scalability.

Helpdesk Technician at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees
It provides data encryption at the source, but is too dependent on Java.
Valuable Features:
Lightweight client, version backups, in-house storage, data encryption at the source, Centralized Administration, Excellent customer support
Improvements to My Organization:
It has saved many users from the loss of hundreds of hours of work. The potential losses have come in many different forms, but Crashplan has been the safety net that management has mandated from our very early days. We continue to see viable returns on our investment.
Room for Improvement:
Hey, Code 42! Isn't it time that we lose the Java dependency??
