The software's versatility is evident in its ability to handle image backups, file and folder backups, as well as specific database backups in various companies. Additionally, N-able Backup is widely used by organizations and customers as their primary backup solution for servers, workstations, and Microsoft 365. This comprehensive software not only ensures secure data backup but also provides quick backups with intelligent increments. It simplifies backup management through a single dashboard, saving users from the threat of cryptolockers and streamlining their backup workflows.

In summary, SolarWinds Backup and its associated solutions like Cove and N-able Backup are trusted tools that address critical data loss issues while offering reliable cloud backup services.

Flexible restore options: Users have commended the backup solution for its flexibility in restoring files, full virtual machines, and virtual machines to different hardware. This functionality allows for seamless restoration of data while providing the necessary flexibility to adapt to changing infrastructure requirements.

Confusing Profile Management: Some users have found the profile management in Solarwinds to be confusing in certain spots, making it difficult to navigate and adjust settings. For example, they may struggle with locating specific options or understanding the purpose of certain features. Improving the organization and clarity of the profile management interface would enhance user experience.

Lack of Centralized Log Reader: Several reviewers have mentioned the lack of a centralized log reader in Solarwinds, which hinders their ability to easily locate and address issues or errors. Instead of having to search through multiple logs scattered across different sections, users would benefit from a centralized log reader that provides a comprehensive view of system logs for efficient troubleshooting.

Limited Webinars for Software Understanding: Users have expressed a desire for more webinars from Solarwinds to enhance their understanding of the software. By offering additional webinars covering various topics and functionalities, users can gain better insights into how to effectively utilize the software's features and maximize its potential benefits.

We are using N-able Backup across our entire organization. It is a safe and secure option for backup.
  • Frequent backup
  • High level of customer service
  • Protecting user's data
  • Cost
  • Monitoring aspects
  • recovery failure
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.

  • Less downtime due to file loss
  • a Bit expensive
We prefer N-able as it seems more secure and also easier to recover the backups.
Google Authenticator, Google Backup and Sync, N-able MSP Manager (formerly Solarwinds MSP Manager)
Works pretty well overall and saves us a lot of time when needing to recover data.

This is used as our primary backup solution. It is a great, safe, and fast cloud backup at a reasonable cost.
  • Office 365 Backups. Easy to setup and backs up everything.
  • Server backup. Easy setup and reliable performance.
  • Workstation/file backup. Again reliable performance and reasonable cost.
  • Nothing comes to mind.
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.

  • I need a backup and it's a fair price for what it offers.
  • I sell this solution to my customers and make recurring income from it.
Atera, QuickBooks Online Advanced, 1Password, Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)
It's very easy to set up and requires very little maintenance afterward. I get email reports daily on the success of my customers and my own backup.
Always quick and easy to get in touch with someone.

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.
  • Ease of use
  • Always working as expected
  • Quick
  • Stable
  • The ability to launch a backup set directly form the cloud as a VM
  • Office 365 backup should have the ability to select an independent folder from OneDrive and Sharepoint/Teams

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

  • Ratio quality price is exceptionnal for us
  • Good margin
  • Reliable, some minutes to installed on our end and that's it. Didn't have to reconfigure it or troubleshoot issue
  • Kind of intuitive, so we don't spend too much time on configuration.
  • Veeam Backup & Replication
Provide storage infrastructure which Veeam didn't provide with their software. For us that is a major point.
It does what is should do, bakcup. It's reliable, essy to use, easy to install/configure.
Never had used the technical support, but on the accounting side we had to used it and all request was resolve in an acceptable time.
