What do you like best about Comet Backup?

Comet Backup is easy to deploy, constantly updated by the development team, and the support is top notch. Even the sales team is great - it was a low pressure introduction to what Comet Backup could do, and the scheduled follow up calls from the sales team answered questions I only expected to be answered by the support staff. Everyone at Comet Backup has a solid understanding of the product and its why I switched from another product to Comet Backup.

I also really love the API integration, and with some time and effort I was able to integrate it into my RMM with little issue and outstanding results.

Lastly, it's completely brandable from the start, so my company is able to deploy a backup solution to our clients that has our information and logo right in the software. We love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

So far, I have zero complaints about Comet backup. I've been using it for over six months, and there's nothing to gripe about. It just works!

Maybe a "dark mode" / "light mode" for the client GUI would be nice to see, but it's not a deal breaker by any means. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Comet Backup:

Stop searching and comparing solutions. You've found the product you need in Comet Backup! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My company has been able to provide a scaling backup solution to our clients. Whether it's deploying a single backup to a residential client to preserve their pictures and tax information, or deploying Comet Backup to an entire business to ensure their systems are doing file and image-based backups, Comet Backup and the API integrations make quick work of our RMM Backup needs, and at an extremely attractive price point.

Up to this date, I have not ever had an issue with comet that has not been able to be resolved rapidly and typically is an error of my own; And the support team is fantastic when you need get in touch with them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Comet Backup?

Your intention to service shall be to help the customer with technical support or issues when he needs you. It is not like your intention became now that your software doesn't have the bug! I have none of my business that your software has a bug or not but 9days your team wasted my time and server payment were wasted due to your software being unable to locate the storage buckets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

Technical support is worst if you can have things working from documentation its good otherwise 9 days no solution yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Comet Backup:

I don't recommend it with their current support system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The backup server was restarted after that all my storage buckets are there but their support is wasting 9 days and still continued wasting time. They have been provided all login details of root / server login but its unfortunate that nobody have time to check and fix the bugs or issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to choose your own storage, easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

I find the server end confusing. I would like to be able to categorize by client, not "user." I am the only user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Comet Backup?

While the "cloud" is great, I really prefer having control over the storage and the services provided. Comet allows me to host my own system, allowing me to provide my own storage. In my model, the software allows me to dedicate disks to each client or provide a chunk of shared space and increase it as necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

The web control panel for the self-hosted product is my least favorite aspect. While I realize that this is the way most products do things these days, I find full applications to be much more manageable and responsive. Mind you, that's not to say the web interface provided is unresponsive, it's fine. I just prefer the experience typically found with a full application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Comet Backup:

Honestly, I've not found another product like it. The ability to self-host was critical to me. The agents and pricing are also important and they work well and update easily. Given the costs and benefits, it's a low risk trial that I would encourage all to take. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm paranoid about data loss. While I provide what I feel is a robust security solution, as the saying goes, the bad guys only have to be right once while I have to be right all the time. Comet provides me with an affordable product that I can use and offer to my clients as another layer of defense in the event of a malicious attack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, great features without great complexity to deploy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a bit of clicking around that could definitely be simplified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Comet Backup?

Comet is easy to use, allows you to connect to all the most popular storage providers (we use it with Backblaze), and even without starting up the advanced platform allows for respectable reporting. Perfect for us micro MSPs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

The possibility of exporting the output of daily results could be improved, perhaps making automatic production of a fixed path csv file (log) to be sent daily to an email address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Comet we manage all backups for our MSP customers. The cost to manage the service is appropriate and allows us to achieve the required marginality with a single debit transaction for all customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the image function and the options I get for backups Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

To setup the backup it's too many steps for an end user to have to do. Maybe you guys can make an easier setup process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This makes my ssd upgrades easier when a hard drive is failing because I can image the drive using comet. Also, manging my backups is something my clients love. They don't have to do anything on their end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
