N-able Cove Data Protection Reviews

N-able Cove Data Protection serves as a free backup for files, documents, and services in Office 365. The solution is useful for its archive features for IT environments.

The solution's most valuable features are bare metal recovery, standby image, failover in Azure, and failover in Hyper-V. The documentation of the protection part with the solution can help its end users look at how they can take care of their own data protection for documents.

N-able Cove Data Protection for Microsoft 365 is an area with shortcomings that need improvement.

The amount of time to get to the support engineers of the solution is too much, so the support team needs to arrange for a verbal or quick chat with the product's users.

I have been using N-able Cove Data Protection for seven years. My company is N-able's super-elite partner.

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

My company deals with various tools from Commvault, Symantec, Veeam, Acronis, and ShadowProtect. In general, my company deals with a lot of different solutions and customers. I can say that though all the solutions my company deals with, which are similar to N-able Cove Data Protection, meet the industry standards, none of them are perfect, and because of this, I cannot rate any of the tools a ten out of ten. In short, I can give the tools we deal with in our company an eight out of ten.

The initial setup of N-able Cove Data Protection was very easy.

The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud.

Considering my company's current setup and servers, N-able Cove Data Protection can be deployed in 20 seconds.

N-able Cove Data Protection is an averagely-priced product.

I recommend those who plan to use N-able Cove Data Protection buy it.

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

Speed of transfer and upload to the cloud, excellent monitoring.

With the monitoring it enables us to keep track. It's more efficient, so it enables us to spend less time fixing backup issues for our customers.

It's tough to answer that because compared to most we've used it does everything well. File uploads. That can always be faster.

Six months.

Absolutely not, that's what's great about it.

Oh yeah. We actually have it on over 170 computers right now in service. And we're managing them all with one person.

We call or we chat, and so it's super fast response.

We had our customers using Carbonite and, with larger backups, it would say that it would back something up, and then if we needed some files from backup they weren't there. So we searched for a new solution to best to serve customers.

Straightforward. It could be done remotely very easily. Software that could be installed right from the client. So very basic, very easy. It's not complex.

One was Veeam, that's probably the best one out there. But, because we handle mostly mid-size customers, so while Veeam is probably the best, it's also the most expensive. Because of the size customer we have, it's too expensive.

And the other one was Acronis. It was slow uploading files and it wasn't the easiest of tools.

We use this solution to provide a simple, easy to manage backup solution for our clients

This solution has allowed us to expand our services offering.

The most valuables feature is the alerts and monitoring that catches the failed backups.

We would like to have better reporting.

We have been using SolarWinds MSP Backup & Recovery for three years.

We use the product to back up Office 365 applications, including mailboxes, Team’s chat, and OneDrive.

The product is simple to use and manage. The customers have access to verify the backups.

There could be a possibility to create a local NAS backup for infrastructure.

We have been using N-able Cove Data Protection for six months or less.

I rate the product’s stability a nine out of ten. I encountered an issue related to an email report. The support team solved it in four hours.

We have 50 N-able Cove Data Protection users in our organization.

The technical support services are good.

The initial setup is simple.

A colleague and I conduct system integration for our end customers.

I rate N-able Cove Data Protection an eight out of ten.

We have an RDS farm and we use SolarWinds for backing up the central storage. We also use it to back up the profiles and other related data.

The most valuable feature is the automation.

The monitoring makes it very easy to check whether a backup has gone bad.

The performance has been pretty good.

The recoverability seems to be fairly good.

Integration with a hybrid cloud is something that I found complicated. Ultimately, we backed away from this approach because of the difficulty that we were having. It may have been related to the firewall setting or other things, but we did not figure it out because it was too complicated for the amount of time that we had budgeted to work on it.

There have been a couple of times when we noticed that it is consuming too much CPU time, although we have been able to mitigate that.

I have been using this backup and recovery solution for between two and three years.

Adding another virtual server is very easy to do.

I have not been in contact with technical support myself.

For us, the initial setup was pretty straightforward. We do not host this solution ourselves. We use a service that is hosted by our provider.

The pricing of SolarWinds seems to be fair compared to the rest of the industry.

For us, this product works well. Our use case is fairly simple and it covers exactly what we need. I recommend using it, especially for an on-premises deployment. My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is that it might be perfect as a cloud-based solution, but you may need some time to figure it out. I think that it should be just as easy on the cloud as it is on-premises. As a hybrid model, I think that it makes sense.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
