We performed a comparison between N-able Cove Data Protection and NAKIVO Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup of N-able Cove Data Protection was very easy."
"What I like the most about it's the ease of use and the reliability that it has when copying information to the cloud."
"The monitoring makes it very easy to check whether a backup has gone bad."
"One of the bigger features and advantages of the solution is that it is easy to integrate with my RMM which is also N-able."
"It provides a single dashboard for all types of data protection, we monitor everything through a single dashboard. It simplifies everything overall. It allows us to see everything, whether passing or failing any issues, any problems through a single pane of glass that we don't have to click through or adjust as we go forward."
"For starters, this is one of few databases that allow us to backup MySQL databases, most others only support Microsoft SQL. This solution also has a very user-friendly interface accessed through a web browser. Additionally, backups can be easily configured through N-able Backup."
"The product is simple to use and manage. The customers have access to verify the backups."
"It's extremely important that Cove provides cloud-based data protection with backup, disaster recovery, and archiving. That is a necessity for my insurance. As an IT company, my insurance would cost more if my backups were not offsite and off-network."
"For my purpose, I find VM Backup to be the most useful, as it gives me the ability to create image-based, incremental backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV VMs."
"The product is easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"It uses all the bandwidth available if not limited and backs up entire servers with all data about four times faster than Windows Server Backup and EaseUS TODO Backup."
"We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox. It is user-friendly, we are very satisfied."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
"They reply immediately to any query raised from us as a technician or consultant and they know the pulse of the market and keep updating the features in such a big way."
"Backup jobs are running smoothly every day with job reports sent to email after they finish each job. That gives us peace of mind."
"The one thing they don't are Linux servers, it's Windows only. I understand that directive. I have another product that I use for our Linux servers and stuff, but it would be nice if they had that flexibility on the Linux side. I understand the development and the world is geared towards Windows in 365, I know that's where the clienteles are and the business and the money is."
"For the MSP side, they could have more of a "security user" that can go in and only see certain clients. If you give somebody access as a technician, they can see all the clients."
"The reporting feature and functionality need improvement. We would like to see a little bit more detailed reporting that offers more CEO or C-level focused reporting options."
"Integration with a hybrid cloud is something that I found complicated."
"A feature I'd like to see would be a more customizable admin console."
"Having the licensing available for partners to be able to take advantage of testing without paying would make a big difference."
"The recovery side, the restore side, could be a little more optimized."
"This solution is not very good for image restores, mainly just files. The solution also does not allow you to enable or disable backups. Sometimes, our users will connect via mobile device and it will use their data to perform the backup. If they were able to enable and disable the backup, they would not have this issue."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"Personally, I would like to have the ability to backup older legacy systems on the new versions as well."
"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."
"The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups."
"Space is always an issue."
"It would be good if I could have a remote upgrade of our Synology Transporters, but the manual upgrade is easy and no problem at all."
