Overall Satisfaction with Solarwinds Backup

We are an MSP, and we use Solarwinds Backup for our clients. It provides an easy solution for server and workstation backups. We mostly use and deploy it through Solarwinds NCentral. Through there we can monitor and backup all devices for a client. We do have some clients that use a stand-alone backup management system.
  • It's easy to use.
  • Offers an easy to read dashboard.
  • Profile management is confusing in some spots.
  • No centralized log reader to easily find issues.
  • It's a good priced option for most small and mid-size clients.
  • Solarwinds Cloud Storage is more expensive than say AWS Glacier.
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 have used Solarwinds Backup manager for multiple clients. We backup workstations, and servers. We have used it for file recovery, disaster recovery, or movement from one device to another. With one client we performed a PC refresh. We simply applied the user's backups from their old machine to the new.
