Very easy to setup and start back ups to the cloud

We know our files and directories that we don't want to lose are safely backed up and retrievable at any time on any device if needed. It is especially helpful to have this cloud based with all the ransom ware out there.

Pros

It is very easy to navigate and setup only specific directories, files and folders on any device you want to have backed up to the cloud safely and without any further user action.

Cons

You have to install on every device you want to backup and it takes quite awhile on the initial software install since it scans everything you currently have backing up on all other devices before the installation is complete.

SpiderOak: A Reliable Solid Secure Backup Service

Reviewed on 2022/10/13

Another thing with this software that makes it so valuable is to simply set it up one time, it it just keeps working. It's reliable. There has been the odd time where I've needed to access the backup for one file, as well as a complete restore. It's never let me down. Will the initial price seemed a bit high to me, I quickly realized that the ability to add multiple computers made it very worthwhile. In two words: Reliable, solid. I'd recommend SpiderOak.

Pros

The excellent privacy features help make this a premier backup service for businesses. Also that my account allows an unlimited number of computers also provides the benefit of ensuring all data is backed up, everywhere. I can even go back to an earlier version of a specific file, in case there's an issue with a recent file version. Another particular "win" with this software, is that I'm able to adjust folder sync options, to better match my business needs. The application works well, is well designed, and in my opinion, very intuitive.

Cons

Some things I'd like to see added, is bringing back the mobile app - I appreciate most might not get as much use out of it, but would be nice to see. Regardless this software backups up all files, with privacy, and does it well!

For a couple of years it was a satisfying cloud backup solution. And the support was always very friendly and helpful. But when I ran into difficult problems with the integrity of my backups when I added a new device, it was just too time-consuming.

Pros

The value for money aspect was the best for SpiderOak One a couple of years ago: I was able to secure a promo offer for unlimited cloud spacefor just 149 USD/yr. Unbeatable back then.

And of course the zero knowledge technology ...

Cons

The UI is outdated and the whole managing of the backup is extremely cumbersome.

Reasons for Switching to SpiderOak

In my organization, SpiderOak has helped us safely arrange our documents based on categories and it makes work easier for we the employees.

Pros

The fact it stores my data safely and accurately is the most attractive quality I can give to SpiderOak.

Cons

I feel a number should be dropped to be able to reach out to due to some glitches that may occur.
I have waited for over 15 days to get a reply.
