Carbonite - Go To Backup for Small Non-Domain Businesses
Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review
Overall Satisfaction with Carbonite
Carbonite is a cheaper alternative for smaller businesses who may not be in a domain environment and want to backup data offsite. It's nice to know there are cheaper options. It's fairly stable and support for it is good. Most places implement it on a particular PC, and not company wide. Perhaps a PC that has critical data on it. This is where it comes into play for a smaller business.
Pros
- Backs up offsite with unlimited data
- Support is good
- It's cheap
Cons
- Would like to see an easier restore process
- Would like to see an option for better management of a company rather than having individual computers in the list
- Would like to see a better management console for IT providers
- Easy revenue for backing up small clients.
- Have had some issues with backing up folders with long names or deep folder structure.
- Dropbox and Google Drive
Selected Carbonite because it's cheaper and offers unlimited storage. You do have to pay more if you want to be able to backup external drives, but still worth it. They can't be beat when it comes to price for offsite storage. The support is really good as well. It's nice to have a portal to check everyone in one spot.
