STOA's Verdict

Backblaze is the best value in cloud backup and storage for small businesses. If you need to protect your team's computers or store large amounts of data affordably, Backblaze delivers with dead-simple setup and pricing. It is not a full cloud platform, but for what it does, nothing else comes close on price-to-simplicity ratio.
