Choose CrashPlan if

Small and mid-sized businesses that want set-and-forget endpoint and Microsoft 365 backup with unlimited versioning.

  • Unlimited versioning protects against ransomware and mistakes
  • Flat per-user endpoint price with unlimited versioning
  • Covers devices and SaaS apps in one console

Look elsewhere if: Teams needing full system images and bare-metal recovery, or cheap personal backup (Acronis, Backblaze, IDrive).

Choose Druva if

Mid-size and enterprise IT teams that want SaaS, endpoint and cloud workload backup managed from one fully hosted service.

  • Fully managed SaaS with no backup servers or storage to maintain
  • Very broad workload coverage from laptops to Salesforce to AWS
  • Strong eDiscovery and compliance features for regulated firms

Look elsewhere if: Small teams that only need simple Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace backup at a published price (Spanning, Afi.ai) or basic file backup (Backblaze).
