Teams most often switch away when one of these starts to bite:

A feature or quota ceiling that a paid specialist covers and this free tool does not.
Missing integrations with the rest of your stack.
Performance or scale limits as your needs grow.
A specific feature gap you have hit in file management.

The 3 direct alternatives below cover the same core job (file management) with different trade-offs. The 5 tools marked "Same category as Duplicati" fit the category but replace Duplicati less directly.
