Cove Data Protection Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cove Data Protection is our go-to solution for quick deployment of Cloud Backups for Servers. Especially the minimal bandwidth it uses for incremental backups is very impressive compared to other (non cloud-native) backup solutions. It integrates well with our RMM platform (N-Central) for Deployment and Monitoring. The options to do scheduled Disaster Recovery testing on their end also provides a upsell to our customers.

Likelihood to Recommend

For scenarios where upload bandwidth is limited Cove Data Protection is our go-to. It also provides us with a very easy method to deploy, manage and monitor all of the endpoints in a easy to use UI. It also requires no additional hardware requirements, a NAS or other storage is optional to provide a local cache (Speedvault) but in scenario's where no other hardware is available it's a great option. (compared to more traditional backup solutions who need a specific VM to run on and onprem storage)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Cove to backup a majority of our workstations that we support in our MSP business.

Cove not only backs up workstation files and system state, but is also leveraged to backup 365 tenants, including email, calendars, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams data.

We additionally use Cove to backup servers and network folders.

Likelihood to Recommend

Cove Data Protection is well suited to a lot of scenarios, including use by MSP's for backing up client workstations, servers, Microsoft 365 tenants, and network shares. File-based backups make the storage less, and the restoration time of individual files very fast.

Cove is not applicable to Google tenants, requiring another solution for Google Workspace clients.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a managed services provider (MSP), we strive to provide the best in breed solutions for our clients. Cove Data Protection addresses the need to take quality backups of many different devices, prove that a restoration is possible, and prove we can have it joined back to the network in case of an actual loss of the hardware for any number of reasons. Users range from non-profits to retail, healthcare, and others. It meets the compliance needs of these industries.

Likelihood to Recommend

While you can integrate a NAS to backup locally and then to the cloud to preserve some network bandwidth, we only use direct to cloud. We've not noticed a drop in bandwidth, but I would suggest doing the NAS to cloud option if you were backing up dozens of devices from the same office. That said, it has been ideal for our clients who have a lot of people working remotely. We have it working well for servers, workstations, and laptops. Failed backup attempts only show when the user has turned off the computer. In almost 10 months, we've not had one server with a backup failure.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Cove to handle all of our Office 365 backups, along with some workstation and server related backups. This provides both ourselves and customers piece of mind that their critical data is being backed up and is safe.

Cove offers multiple backups per day with a long 7 year retention timeframe

Likelihood to Recommend

If you require backups for your Office 365 clients, including OneDrive, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and Teams. Cove is the best product on the market in teams of features and price

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Cove data protection as an MSP for over 200 servers and over 100 workstations for our managed clients. Cove helps us greatly to make sure customer machines are backed up a regular basis. Also disaster recovery is well taken care of with this product and we have no worries about doing a file restore or a full disaster image restore. We even use this product to migrate servers to other locations at times.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for all server backups, on premise and cloud hosted.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We offer Cove as a backup solution to our contract customers for both servers and workstations. We are currently utilizing it to protect and backup over 200 devices across multiple organizations. In our line of work, this has been one of the best defenses against ransomware attacks but has also helped us to recover documents that have been accidentally deleted or lost as well as recover from unexpected hardware crashes.

Likelihood to Recommend

Recovering specific files back to their original or to a new location. Full recovery of a system after a ransomware attack or hardware failure. Has decent integration with N-Able RMM. Checking and troubleshooting backup health can be problematic as the error codes do not clearly indicate the cause of the issue. Providing customers with data and reporting is sometimes lacking.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This is used as our primary backup solution. It is a great, safe, and fast cloud backup at a reasonable cost.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's suited well for any business backup needs. It wouldn't be great for a home user that has a bunch of pictures/videos they want to backup.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using N-able Backup across our entire organization. It is a safe and secure option for backup.

Likelihood to Recommend

The integration with N-Central works pretty well. Their system for immutable backups works well. Allowing you to choose your own storage helps meet each client's budget and recovery time objectives. Jobs are managed and scheduled only by the server, not in groups. Each one must be set up, scheduled, etc. one server at a time. This can get cumbersome in a larger environment.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

N-able Backup (formerly Solarwinds Backup) is our main product to provide our customers a backup solution. It's being used as a server, workstation, and Microsoft 365 backup solution.

Likelihood to Recommend

Any simple backup operation, workstation, and server. Good recovery option for file and folder. Need improvement on backup of virtualized VMware vSphere, vCenter.
