SolarWinds Backup is a versatile and highly regarded solution that addresses various data backup needs. It serves as a reliable disaster recovery solution for main servers such as Active Directory, Exchange Server, and ERP Server. MSPs and their clients benefit from its safe and secure backup option. The software is user-friendly and easy to deploy, enabling users to monitor and back up all devices for a client through SolarWinds NCentral. This feature significantly reduces the need for technical support, making it a preferred choice among salespeople and value-added resellers. With its dependable security measures and straightforward installation process, SolarWinds Backup ensures data safety while providing a seamless user experience.

Another use case for data protection is Cove, which offers backup solutions for contract customers. It safeguards against ransomware attacks and facilitates data recovery from accidental deletions or hardware failures. MSPs rely on Cove to back up servers and workstations for managed clients, including disaster recovery and server migration scenarios. 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. Their user-friendly interfaces, robust security features, and seamless installation processes make them indispensable assets to businesses seeking efficient backup solutions.

Easy to use and navigate: Many users have praised the backup solution for its intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it easy to set up, monitor backups, and perform various tasks such as creating daily backups or performing SQL backups with just a few clicks.

Effective system recovery: The system state backups provided by the solution have been highly regarded by reviewers for their effectiveness in recovering systems and data from dead machines. This feature has proven valuable in ensuring business continuity and minimizing downtime.

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.

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.

Works well. Easy to use. If you use Ncentral, it's already tied in and even easier to deploy. Cloud storage is more expensive than competitors. There is no easy option to offload your backups to AWS, etc. It can create a local speed vault to have local backups as well. data recovery works better than any other product I have used.

We had a huge partner that let us discover this great service provider.
The target is the same as the other vendors, but SolarWinds wins with the dashboard. with the dashboard n-able you can monitor everything starting from the state of the backups of an important server.. arriving on a printer empty vass.
You can have control of your customer from everywhere every time.

So the live recovery of VEEAM is awfully nice, and it's GUI is laid out and easy to use. Windows Server Backup is about a bare-bones as it gets. It's been my experience that Solarwinds Backup just wins at every turn. It's fast, easy to deploy (well, if using N-central), and wonderfully easy to service and fix.

We started with Vision Works many years ago then went to IASO/GFI. After working with them for a couple of years we got tired of un-kept promises and poor service so we moved to Solarwinds and have been very happy with them in all scenarios. The product goes in as it is supposed to, with no errors, and does what it is supposed to, without constant monitoring and is reasonably trouble-free. Support is spot on and easy to get help with. Support documentation is easily available and most helpful, as are the brand-able marketing materials.

Solarwinds Backup provides the most comprehensive backup system. After testing all other systems the weaknesses of Solarwinds Backup are much less severe or risky compared to others. As well the overall cost of Solarwinds Backup's value is the main reason for choosing Solarwinds Backup as the primary backup/DR provider.

Technically, Datto is a better option for business continuity and local backups. However, we considered using Solarwinds Backup for redundancy because it's a simple cloud backup solution that has good deduplication. Personally, I believe that the Datto offsite transfer process is less efficient and this difference in the performance makes Solarwinds Backup a better choice when looking just for basic cloud backup capabilities.
