What do you like best about Comet Backup?

the software offers a variety of solutions which allow it to adapt in differetn types of tech/business environmnts. The interface is very user friendly and with few clicks you can setup a whole backup plan for an entire organization. The price is very convenient for both an individual user or an entire company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

Unfortunatelly the company is based in New Zeland which makes it rather difficult to get in touch with them over the phone for those who live in certain areas as for example in the east coast of the United States. However their support team always responds as soon as possible over email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

we currently use Comet Backup to handle our system and other business data backup. The application allows very easily to manage different location which have multiple devices, the ability to create different accounts to tie each device under allows for a good organization of multiple backup configurations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
