User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	N-able Solarwinds Backup is ideal for individuals looking to keep a consistent backup of devices in their environment. We used it primarily for networking equipment. It is easy to set up, as it is one of the steps available when adding a new device to solarwinds. It is probably not an ideal product to use for long-term (1 month+) backups. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	N-able Backup Reporting: Email alerts, and a great, easy to read Dashboard with detailed error logs and an easy to search Solarwinds FAQ for a lot of them. Restores: So far I have restored files, full VMs, and VMs to other hardware, and so far it has not only been flawless, but so flexible that I can't imagine going back to any other software. Incentivized Russ Taylor Technical Customer Representative Read full review
Cons	N-able Restore complete settings: IP settings, the setting of CPU/Memory for VMs, etc. would decrease management during a restore. Individual file backup: more granular settings for backup. Change of device name after setup: at times, computer names change after restore so it would be great to rename the device name. Option to recovery security key. Incentivized CP Calin Popescu Consultant Read full review
Usability	N-able Cove Data Protection is very usable as it's easy to tell that it is made to not only do backup very well, but it's also easy to deploy. The agent-based deployment allows for flexible deployment options while ensuring a minimal amount of manual work is needed on the dashboard end. Recovery is also very easy, especially as it relates to one-off file recovery Verified User Anonymous Read full review
