Cove Data Protection Overview

What is Cove Data Protection?

Cove Data Protection, from N-able, is a cloud-first backup and disaster recovery service for servers, workstations, and Microsoft 365™, all managed from a multitenant web-based dashboard. Cove was created and optimized for the cloud, so incremental backups are up to 60 times smaller than with traditional image backup products. This allows you to back up more often, and the SaaS delivery format reduces administrative time, lowering your cost of service delivery. Storage in our private cloud is included, with data centers worldwide.

Product Description

Cove Data Protection is a cloud-first backup and disaster recovery service for servers, workstations, and Microsoft 365 data, all managed from a single multi-tenant dashboard. Cloud storage is included, with data centers worldwide to keep backups in region and isolated from the local network.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Cove Data Protection™ offers backup that is up to 60X more efficient than traditional image backup, allowing you to back up directly to our private cloud as often as every 15 minutes. Because Cove is a SaaS solution, back-end administration, such as patching and updating, is handled for you, and managed cloud storage is included in your price, making local backup storage optional.

Cove delivers full image recovery, as well as fast file/folder restore, including the option to set up a recovery environment in Microsoft Azure. Cove's architecture also helps reduce your attack surface, as primary backup storage is isolated by default, off the local network and out of the reach of ransomware that may be there.

What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

Cove data protection allows you to perform cloud first backups very easily and quickly.

Thanks to the very well structured daily reports, it is possible to monitor the situation of all backup tasks and intervene in case of problems.

Compatibility with the main virtualization systems and also with all Microsoft 365 online products, now used by most companies.

Immediate and very competent live chat support, they have always supported me very quickly and comprehensively.

Integrated in all the most popular operating systems on the market.

Really easy setup and use and implementation in a few steps following the online instructions.

The console is used frequently at the beginning, but when the backups are configured correctly you only intervene in case of problems, thus saving time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

The only problem with the system is the unlimited licensing, if you exceed the number of licenses you have to pay a balancing bill, without discounts! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cove Data Protection solving and how is that benefiting you?

Backup all virtual servers of all local and remote locations in a single console.

Incremental backups with cloud space included in the price, the only product currently offering this bundle.

Intuitive and daily reports that allow you to keep an eye on the status of backups every day.

Cloud first backup that allows you to keep data safe in the event of a ransomware attack.

Disarming ease of use, even the 1 click restore makes disaster recovery simple in the event of problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

For me the best things about Cove is how easy it is to install, manage and browse backups.

The entire process from start to finish is so easy and if theres anything that trips you up then N-Able have great resources so you can learn. Installation is as easy as a script.

I've used Cove every day basically and never had many issues if any. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

I very rarely have issues with Cove however I wish I could view old logs and errors for any VDR that has failed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cove Data Protection solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cove solves a lot of issues for customers mainly, we have been able to restore data that has been misplaced, deleted or been locked down accidentally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

Cove data protection is a lifesaver in terms on acting as a centralised platform to manage backups for all clients, being able to easily add servers and 365 tenants onto the platform really speeds up implementation of DRBS for our clients and the use of remote commands makes sure that this can be done in bulk.

Even when issues pop up the support provided by N-Able allows us to be able to get fixes quick and update our documentation for it and I personally am a frequesnt user of their support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

I do have some pet peeves about remote commands not being able to be entered multiple times in the same dialogue box. Much rather that than not have it at all however! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

Setup is simple, backups are immutable, and I feel confident in our ability to recover in a disaster situation. We also like that we can make local copies of our backups to a secondary location which provides us the opportunity to restore files quickly in a non-emergency situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

Some minor hiccups have occurred along the way, but their support has always been prompt and willing to fix the issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cove Data Protection solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cove offers us an off-site secure cloud backup that cannot be overwritten and that can be recovered either locally or to another cloud provider for the flexibility we need to recover in any kind of disaster scenario. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

It covers all the services we need to protect on behalf of our customers, not only all in a single dashboard but presented in a way that makes it very clear to see where potential problems and patterns of failure are. On the rare occasion we've needed them, the support is really excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

The timing of backup reports by email is an issue for us, particularly for customers who receive the reports direct. Sometimes the reports are sent before the backup window closes, so at 6am some of our backups are just about completing, so it generates a call to us to confirm whether the backup is working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cove Data Protection solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are seeing a massive increase in compliance requirements and having a clear, easily priced product that ticks those compliance boxes for our customers is fantastic. It's an easy sell, very simple to look after, and we make a sensible markup on the product so it saves us time and makes us a bit of money at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

The support is really responsive and helpful. It is inevitable that backups will fail sometimes, but as long as the product has good support that is not an issue. The interface is also very easy to use. Adding new devices is also extremely easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

There has been a glitch with the backup recovery reports which causes them to "fail" if the test machine is processing updates during the recovery test. This is an example of little issues that they are typically slow to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cove Data Protection solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cove provides a reliable offsite backup for our clients. It has the right features to provide for easy scheduling and customization of backup features. This allows us to "set it and forget it" when we take on new clients. It provides great alerting and recovery testing so we can be sure that the backups are working as intented. When we do have to restore a device, there are many options for restoring directly to a new machine, or as a virtual machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

Its a fully integrated cloud backup solution, we had previously sold Datto and Veeam both of which were more expensive when adding in the cost of cloud storage. The integration with RMM is helpful in giving us an at a glace status of backups that need attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

Depending on the restore senario and speed of connection, we found it preferable to have onsite storage as well as in the cloud, for sites with high speed connections, its less of an issue but for those on standard broadband, it can take a while to download a complete image. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cove Data Protection solving and how is that benefiting you?

It offers a reliable off site backup solution for our end users. The price point allows us to make a reasonable margin while remaining competitive.

Its also very easy to provision additional clients as and when we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

Easy of use and the ability to geo-fence data for our different sites in different countries such as the UK and the UK, plus the M365 options for backup, our pretty good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

I wish you could have a longer retention for the M365 backups (currently only seven years). I'm not sure if this is a Microsoft restriction or a cove one, but if it is the latter, this makes no sense, as normal workloads have no end date for data retention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cove Data Protection solving and how is that benefiting you?

having our data off site and using a different backup product to our on premise solution helps us meet our regulatory requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
