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.

Quest
If you are using NV for backups and restores, it does the job very well. You can rely on the functions and time it as you prefer it to be executed. They have a great plug-in library which provides integrations of many applications and many databases. The updated versions support better job creations and restorations. You can easily depend on your backups without a hassle. However if you go ahead with its advanced features, you many need further support. Would not recommend using the Cleaning Tape module.There are issues in the reports provided. Also you may face with disk latency issues.

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.

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.

Cove is able to cover all aspects of backup in a single package. From the same dashboard I can check servers, workstations, and even Office 365. Cove is a much better solution in terms of overall management for a company such as ours. It also provides integration options with N-Able's RMM and Take Control solutions. This allows us to offer our customers with a full service suite in a single package.

Pricing was on point with our requirement. A great deal compared to the other products we evaluated. We had recommendations from existing users in the region. Since our requirement was basic backups and restores and NV provided that, we were compelled to go with it as the implementation was very very easy.
