Excellent Offsite Backup solution for a reasonable price
I work with a number of servers. There isn't an extra charge for backing up a server like it's main competitors. There's a wealth of options that let you control what you backup, when you backup and for how long. On servers, it allows you to perform AD, SQL, Sharepoint, and Exchange server backups.
CONSInitial backups seem to take longer than some of it's main competitors. The wealth of options may be a bit intimidating for novice users. The price increase when adding additional space above 500gb is excessive. It's cheaper to purchase a 2nd account.

Massive charges unexpectedly, unresponsive support & terrible product
Terrible.
PROSWhen e2 isn't down, it works well. Lots of locations to pick from.
CONSIDrive charged us $230 due to misleading wording in their e2 egress policy (which we attempted to clarify, but were ignored). They're now ignoring our requests for a refund too.

Reliable service
I bought 5TB plan.I'm not a tech guy and for me the interface is very important and iDrive's interface is very intuitive and ease to use. I didn't feel the need to read any tutorial and I used the interface at once, from the first glance.I can interrupt the transfer at any time, the queued files or folders will be resumed when I need. If a file wasn't completely transferred because interruption, it will be resumed without a problem. After a job completion you'll receive a report and you can access a detailed log. In a particular backup I spotted that a file wasn't transferred because of an error and when I verified I discovered that file was corrupted. Searching further more I found that my hard drive had errors and I could corrected them.For short and medium transfers my upload speed transfer in Romania was 25-50 MB/s (megaBytes not mbs), but when I transfered 1.4 TB medium transfer speed was only 17MB/s. My internet connection is capable of 90-100 MB/s and obviously it wasn't the bottleneck.When I had a minor problem the chat support on their website resolved it in seconds.
PROSGood interfaceSafe serviceGood transfer speed for medium and light jobsInstant support through chat in websiteDetailed logs for transfers
CONSSlow transfer speed for long jobs, despite using 4 threads.
Reason for choosing IDrive
Generous storage space at a fair price.
Reasons for switching to IDrive
OneDrive offered a 6TB plan, but in fact I should create other 5 different accounts and then adding them to my base account. Besides, I didn't like their interface.
