What do you like best about Comet Backup?

The flat rate pricing and ability to provide your own object storage and backup server make it very appealing from a cost standpoint. It's also super easy to set up and manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

I have not found many negatives in my usage of the product. The interface is a little bit outdated, graphically, but that's not really a big deal. Updates for the self-hosted version of the server could be slightly easier to deploy or automated. An apt repository would be a big improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
