What do you like best about Comet Backup?

Comet allows me to connect to my Backblaze B2 storage and saves a ton of money. The license cost is minimal, and paired with B2 I save thousands of dollars a year. I have restored everything from brick-level to BMR of a host or restoring Hyper-V machines. Easy setup and configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

Nothing to complain about with Comet. It handles everything I need to perform offsite backups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Comet Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have all servers securely backed up offsite and fully protect my clients from ransomware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Comet Backup?

Auto-updates. We've only had one or two instances where we have had to install updates manually. Overall, it only takes minutes to install new versions and update all clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

Nothing stands out, we've had no major issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Comet Backup:

Support has always been very responsive and helpful. Minimal amount of time to learn and roll out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Comet Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

Very customized retention policies, so it works for all the specific industries we work with.

What do you like best about Comet Backup?

Ultimately it just works, it is much faster than previous products we have used, restores are a lot quicker, i like the fact the restore speed is consistent and takes around the same amount of time to backup a recent backup as it would if we tried to restore the first backup taken, no more waiting for incremental's to be merged.

Setting up backup sets is a simple process and only takes a matter of minutes to get up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

There isn't much; as a newer product, it doesn't have all the plugins some of the competitors have, but we have seen new ones being added so im confident that any others that we are missing will be added in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Comet Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simpler backups and restores mean customers are not waiting so long for the initial upload or restoring a job. The Comet server is lightweight so isnt putting a heavy load on the server; before we had to have several servers and spread customers across them now, we only need one for the same amount of customers.

What do you like best about Comet Backup?

Comet backup is hands down the most hands-off backup system we've worked with. All we need to really do is remember to update it when a new version comes out. Every management aspect is simple to use. I highly recommend using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

from time to time the admin backend will kick you out. not the end of the world, as we don't really log into it that often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Comet Backup:

One of the best decisions we've made is to use comet backup. Everyone at the office loves their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Comet Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

Backing up of files on client computers. We decided to use a different product for image backup as it was cheaper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Comet Backup?

The support is outstanding. They listen and actually read questions and respond to every question posed in a complete and thorough manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

The support hours are opposite hours for the US. They do have after-hours support, but they are very limited in what they can do and usually only point you in the direction of an already documented issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Comet Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

We finally have a backup platform designed specifically for the MSP market. We are a provider to smaller MSP's and the software is designed with us as well as other MSP's in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Comet Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hands off end user backups. Many times an employee will leave a company and think it's just ok to delete all their data from their PC's. Comet allows me to pull all that data back quickly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Comet Backup?

They support a wide array of storage services or you can use your own server storage. You can even spread backups across multiple storage providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

The process of selecting files/folders to backup as well as backing up locally to network shares can be a little tedius. But once you figure it out it's not a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Comet Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can consolidate all of our backups in one location. The cost savings over traditional managed backup services is huge because we can bring our own storage and the price per agent is very reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is one of the best backup programs that seems work every time. Seldomly do I get glitches or hangups where I have to either reboot a server or fix an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

-I wish it'd support VMWare

-Doesn't integrate with PSAs (ConnectWise, Syncro, AutoTask)

-No automated way to test backups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have a simple single pane window where I can check to make sure all of my clients' files are backed up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
