Cove Data Protection

Vorteile

Easy to use, configure, and support. Consistency of backups is incredible. Support is exceptional.

Nachteile

There is not a single thing I dislike about this platform.

Vorteile

It is very fast to set up the whole backup procedure. I think the first time it took me about an hour. I can say that the interface is intuitive and easy to use. This seems to me key a security oriented software because we should not make mistakes in its configuration.

The reports are daily. I always check them to have a control of what is happening with the company's data.

Of course, the data encryption is great, I fell that the company's information is secure.

Nachteile

The backups take a long time to do and consume a lot of internet resources. And sometimes the process is interrupted. It's not such a big deal because we do backups daily, but it's a latent concern I have so I prefer to always monitor the process and read the reports day by day.

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!

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.

Vorteile

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!

Nachteile

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.

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.

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.

Vorteile

Simplicity. It just works. Thats a huge plus.

Nachteile

Help and how-to sections are a bit flaky to navigate around.
