Cove Data Protection Demo - Fast incremental backups
Cove's cloud-first efficiency means that incremental backups are up to 60X smaller than with image backup, so direct-to-cloud backups take seconds or minutes, not hours. Back up more often, and meet stricter RPOs, with Cove.

"Cloud Backup Product - Works very well indeed"
What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

Setup is simple enough. Company has been very responsive in helping to set up the first few computers - 1 server and 2 workstations so far - and support seems to be readily available when I need it. The other day I had a very good session that went over some of the finer points of the product. All backups performed so far have been flawless (there was on glitch within a day of setup, that resolved itself automatically before I even noticed it, this doesn't count). Machine performance hit(s) do not seem to be noticeable. A local (loopback) web host instantly shows you status of that machine's backup, and the management console is reasonably clear. Since the product is complex by nature, I have no complaints in that regard.

Cove also seems to co-exist very well with existing on-site backup programs. In this case EaseUS Todo Backup Enterprise and GoodSync backup (yes, all three at once). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

So far, I see no operational downside to using Cove backup so far. As for the cost, it's a bit pricey. But it does work as claimed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure, encrypted backup solution for all your devices and services"
What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

They have an impressive history of providing secure, encrypted, and immutable backup solutions. These services cover not just endpoints such as servers, workstations, and laptops, but also extend to M365 tenants. Additionally, they are preparing to launch backup support for Google Workspace in the near future.

Simple and easy to use, I log in daily to check my backups, but I don't even need to as they have a great reporting system with daily automated reports which are highly customisable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

The deployment process can be a little bit confusing at first but their support team are great and always ready to help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great M365 Backup Product"
What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

Ease of use and very graphical interface with several great pie charts. Its dashboard is easy to navigate and all the information is easy to review. I'm able to navigate and load information I need without requiring a lot of training. The speed at which everything loads is also nice. I can safely say that this is one of the best products in the market from a GUI and user experience. We're able to give our clients access to self managed if needed which is a great bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

Cove Backup offers services for M365, servers, and workstations, and performs these tasks effectively. One notable issue is their pricing structure. Having used this product for over 8 years, it appears that N-ABLE prioritises their own profits, which reduces flexibility for MSPs. While a higher price can be justified for a quality product, N-ABLE's pricing tests the boundaries of what is acceptable. There are also significant space limitations with their server and workstation backups, making them less competitive as competitor offerings are priced at least 50% lower than N-ABLE. Consequently, our usage is limited to the M365 backup service, and we have transitioned away from using their server and workstation backups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
