CrashPlan Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

BaaS vendors deliver data protection as a service by hosting the backup software and the primary backup repository in privately operated or public cloud data centers. The backup infrastructure, including backup software and backup servers and storage, is managed by the BaaS vendor. Customers are still responsible for implementing backup policies and performing recovery tasks, but are not responsible for the day-to-day maintenance and operation of the backup system.

CrashPlan (formerly Code42) is our endpoint backup solution for all of our staff users. The agent is easy to deploy and works very well for us, all our devices are MacOS. Devices back up to CrashPlan's cloud silently and automatically in the background, and users don't even notice. Great product.

Code42 offers an alternative approach to DLP that helps organizations protect data more effectively and stop insider threats efficiently. Native to the cloud, Code42’s Incydr product rapidly detects data loss, leak, theft, and sabotage while speeding incident response – all without lengthy deployments, complex policy management, or blocking employee productivity. With Code42, security professionals can protect corporate data and reduce insider risk while fostering a collaborative culture for employees. 

Today, our team is focused on helping organizations stop IP theft, protect customer data, get better visibility into cloud and endpoints, protect source code, and stop departing employees from taking data when they depart. Our SaaS-based data protection solution surfaces and prioritizes file exposure and exfiltration events that represent real business threats and require investigation. Incydr offers a complete range of response controls, including automated microlearning modules for accidental non-malicious risk, case management for efficient investigations, and real-time blocking for the highest-risk use cases. It’s quick to set up, a light lift to maintain, and allows employees to collaborate securely. 

Incydr offers tangible cost benefits for customers, as found in a commissioned report by Forrester Research. Deploying in just two weeks, the solution pays for itself in 6 months, before most DLP tools are even off the ground. The average organization can expect to see a 172% return on investment, including savings from data loss that total over $680,000 as well as powerful team time savings – to the tune of 50% faster closing of incidents. 

Our insider threat solution has received recognition across the industry, including the CSO50, IT World Awards, Black Unicorn Awards, Cyber Defense Magazine Global InfoSec Awards, and Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. Inc. Magazine also recognized Code42 as one of America’s best workplaces in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.
