Cove Data Protection

Simple And Effective Backup

Kommentare: SolarWinds saved the day when disaster struck one of our clients, we were able to restore everything quickly and easily as if nothing had happened. Common backup and rescue media is easy to create. Customer support was easy to deal with. We have experienced no issues using SolarWinds Backup and recommend it to all of our clients.

Vorteile:

SolarWinds Backup is easy and efficient to use. The web interface is easy to use. Just simply install on the devices and you are ready to go. You own your own data. There are no storage limits which is an asset.

Nachteile:

There are a few limits on the scheduling features but we have managed to work around them.

Cloud backup that works well for Hyper-V or VMWare.

Vorteile:

Our Hyper-V backups work very well. We get a daily report about each backup with detailed analytics and information. We love the cost and value of the product as well as the peace of mind of having immutable backups off-site. It also allows for a local "Speed vault" so local copies of the backups can be used for quick restores.

Nachteile:

I misunderstood some of the initial setup of the product and was using it incorrectly. My fault, but support made me aware of the changes I needed to make and now we have it humming right along!

backup and restore

Vorteile:

tried this tool to have it integrated with other SolarWinds products and its a pretty decent solution.

Nachteile:

There are better products out there with more features and alesser cost.

Be careful before implementing

Kommentare: Being charged for storage not actually used. My very first backup was a server. Someone had a 5TB external plugged in as I set up the backup. It was then excluded from the backup. It never backed up the external drive, but I was still charged for the storage because it was "selected" for a single day. I explained this to their support team, and their response was, "This is how we charge." I will include screenshots to show.One month after signing up, I get an email notification of a price increase. Then if that was not bad enough, they sprung this,"Oh, you are under contract and can't terminate without a fee." This was NEVER explained to me by ANY of their agents until I tried to leave. These business practices are horrific. Unless you don't care about throwing away money, stay far away.I have never had such a bad taste in my mouth. These kinds of bad business practices were the kind of thing that made me leave Solarwinds. I will never consider doing business with them ever again.

Vorteile:

It was easy to setup for office 365 and easy to recover items in 365. It was easy to locate and restore files in server backups

Nachteile:

Difficulty in setting up. No help in setting up. How they charge. Poor customer service

Backups are reliable and easy to implement at any time. You can store multiple weeks or even months of backups at a time, and restoring data when needed is a snap!

Getting help from SolarWinds support can take a few days if they're busy; a very good knowledge base is available to all users and can usually resolve most issues, but speaking to an actual engineer for difficult troubleshooting can be difficult to get started.

Cove Data Backup is a set and forget backu product.

Kommentare: All in all I am very happy with this product, I am not looking for an alternative for my basic file and folder backup and restoration for our clients

Vorteile:

Super easy to deploy, doesn't even require a reboot; and you are up and running.

Nachteile:

Restore is great; but the disaster recovery options are limited.For clients with 100s of thousands of files; restoring files that you are looking for is not searchable from the restore GUI; and the virtual disk can be really slow to index.

great product for workstation backups

Kommentare: We use this software for everything from full server restores to single file restores. It always does its job.

Vorteile:

This product is extremally easy to use. In just a few minutes you can restore a file or folder to a users machine to to a server.

Nachteile:

Other than it working a bit slow sometimes which it to be expected with a backup software, I do not have any real complaints about it.

Solid and reliable

Vorteile:

The best thing about this solution is that you don't have to babysit it much. 95% of our client backups work without a hitch. Never had any problems restoring from backups.

Nachteile:

The Exchange restore is kind of a challenge, especially if the database is large. No built in tools for granular restore of mailboxes, You have to use powershell.

Very solid, but expensive with some restoration hiccups

Kommentare: Overall, I have been happy with the product. The online backup option has decreased the amount of time spent working with clients to connect local backup drives. Support has been very helpful.

Vorteile:

Overall, Solarwinds Backup just works with little intervention needed. I was skeptical of what was promised by the sales people, but after using it, I was very impressed. The online backup function helps to ensure backups always complete if local hardware is disconnected or failed.

Nachteile:

I have run into some problems that have delayed restores, but in each instance, support has been able to help restore the device successfully. It would be nice if there was a local only option for backups. The price of the product is higher than other options.

Solar Winds Backup reasonable price a the secure backup

Kommentare: Started with the Solarwinds backup and later moved to RMM. Only thing I wish is that I wish it would be easier to move from the Solarwinds backup to the RMM Backup. If you want to move from one ot the other you loos past backups.. so timing is crucial.

Vorteile:

Once installed it just does the job. Often going several months without any issues in backing up the system.

Nachteile:

Somewhat difficult to learn, but is logical and the support is good.

N-Central & SolarWinds Backup

Vorteile:

It is fully integrated into N-Central, SolarWinds RMM product. This allows for centralized management from the RMM console and easy templating and monitoring of the backups themselves.

Nachteile:

When compared to Veeam or other mature products it is lacking in features. However, direct apples to apples comparisons it does a very good job of file level and database level backups.

Great backup software!

Kommentare: It's been great so far! I've recovered several customer files that were inadvertently deleted with very little trouble.

Vorteile:

It's very reliable, especially the VDR restore tests that you can run on a ESX or HyperV box. I have very little issues with the product after the initial deployment.

Nachteile:

I wish that the RMM version had as many features as the standalone version. Not having the capability to restore to the cloud would be nice.

Complete and reliable backups with powerful additional features.

Solarwinds Backup

Kommentare: Fantastic product

Vorteile:

Easy of install and setup, ease of Use, accuracy, recovery option

Nachteile:

Lack of support SQL Server 2017, Difficult to review backup manage stats vs billed amounts

Never regretted the change to SolarWinds Backup

Kommentare: I recently made the "big step" to set up an external server for my work. Since then, smaller, non-business optimized cloud services didn't seem to scale up in pricing and protection, so i subscribed to SolarWinds Backup.
It obviously has a ton of tools, that i might never need. But since my daily work routine is based on different projects with different customers, it's crucial to have a central storage point, that is easily accessible from everywhere and reliably saves all the steps of editing.

Vorteile:

With several backup-steps SolarWinds Backup assures a complete protection from dataloss. Data is easily accessible from everywhere and backups are generated automatically and efficiently. The ability to access old versions of backups is especially helpful to never lose progress!

Nachteile:

I didn't encounter any real problems with this software. The load of functions can be overwhelming, especially with all of the cryptic abbreviations. Honestly though, this is not a real con, but rather my own problem!

Simple and Easy Backup Tool for MSP's!

Kommentare: Coming from a backup provider where we continually experienced issues both with the product and support, it was a relief to finally not spent an hour or two a day resolving issues and/or working with support. This was defiantly a great solution to move to!

Vorteile:

We have been using Solarwinds Backup and Recovery for a couple years now. It just works! We like how it is VSS based, very simple to setup and run into very few backup issues. This allows for our backup margins to be high since we simply install it on the devices and sit back and watch it work! The web interface is simple to use and the support has been fantastic.

Nachteile:

One thing we wish it did is truncate the SQL logs while in Full Recovery mode.

Reliable data archiving and retrieval software

Kommentare: There is worrying and complains over data loss in case of a shuttering cyber attack

Vorteile:

There is a free software available for demo to enable the buyer make an informed decision to buy the product Its easy to install and use the software

In organizations that do not have secure foolproof mechanisms, an attack on their servers may lead to leakage of crucial and confidential information

Great backup product

Kommentare: Great product, cost effective solution.

Software is easy to use, set up, and administer. Also the cost is so much better than competing localized products

N-Able Backups

Vorteile:

The dashboard makes use of the product very simple.

Nachteile:

There was not anything that I did not like.

Been using the product for over a year now for our MSP customers, works awesome.

Kommentare: Local and remote backup for our clients with easy to use single pain of glass for problems.

Vorteile:

Ease of use is the KEY to this software. Further you can use your OWN offsite dataVol, a lot of products force proprietary dataVols or their cloud storage.

Nachteile:

Some scheduling limitations. Interface could use a couple "tweaks". Can not replicate local to more then ONE remote dataVol.
