Features: N-able Cove Data Protection is known for its superior monitoring capabilities and ease of remote data restoration, ideal for both simple and complex recovery scenarios. It offers flexibility in backups, efficient alerts, and a clear dashboard.

Reliable backups have protected all cloud data and now provide quick recovery for users

The features include easy setup, easy to use, and unlimited storage. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup has positively impacted my organization by helping us with lost productivity when someone deletes a cloud-stored item and we can retrieve it easily. With wrong creation of Teams and no owners assigned, we get notified. It helps me worry less that in the worst-case scenario, mailboxes and Teams are easily restorable to continue with online learning at a very low risk. It also proves useful, for instance, where a user accidentally loses or deletes an important email or a file in the mailbox. The team can easily restore what has been lost.

Delivers cost-effective data backup with room for search improvements

The challenges I face especially are those I've mentioned, that finding some specific data in N-able Cove Data Protection is not as easy as it is in some other systems. You cannot just search for something—you need to know where it was and when it was there to restore it, plus it would be nice to take out data from Microsoft 365 in some portable format, which is currently not an option. I would like to extract the data from Microsoft 365 in a portable format, something like a database or maybe just to take out a PST file or SharePoint and Teams files to the file system. Especially in these times, where we discuss potential risks with the Microsoft cloud for European companies, companies would want to know how to access their data from the backup if they suddenly don't have a tenant. I believe there should be the ability to take out data from Microsoft 365 in a portable format. I know that Cohesity is working on making such a thing. It's not there yet; I asked last week for something for forensics, and the support team said it's not possible yet, but I know from our technical account manager they are working on some solutions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The product enables us to restore lost files."

"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."

"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."

"Overall, I am a very satisfied user of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup."

"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."

"The initial setup is pretty simple."

"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."

"We've noticed fewer data losses by 90% compared to our previous tool since implementing Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup."

More Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup pros

"The most valuable feature is that it's hands-off. I log in every morning and there are pre-canned filters that I've created to make my life easier. I have something called server status color bars, and that gives me all the servers and, in a nutshell, I can see: if any errors are being reported; when the last backup was; if one is not working, should there be one, and it literally jumps off the page."

"N-able Cove Data Protection is user-friendly and straightforward, and the dashboard is clear."

"The user interface is the most valuable. It gives us the ability to check everything. With more than 100 endpoints running that software, I like the ability to quickly check that everything is working correctly. That's one of the biggest selling points."

"Because the package includes cloud storage, we don't need to worry about hosting it inside. That was very important to us. And because the vendor has data centers worldwide, our reps in Europe and other places can get to what they need quickly and easily."

"What I like the most about it's the ease of use and the reliability that it has when copying information to the cloud."

"One of the bigger features and advantages of the solution is that it is easy to integrate with my RMM which is also N-able."

"The ability to back up, restore, and do different types of testing for the preventative maintenance has really increased our importance to these clients because they see the value in how fast we can get them back up and running. We're saving them money in that way."

"The monitoring makes it very easy to check whether a backup has gone bad."

Cons

"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."

"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."

"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."

"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."

"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."

"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."

"Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup can be improved by addressing that when performing a restore, the search filter and the mailbox filter can be confusing, depending on what you want to achieve."

"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."

"Having the licensing available for partners to be able to take advantage of testing without paying would make a big difference."

"There could be a possibility to create a local NAS backup for infrastructure."

"This solution is not very good for image restores, mainly just files. The solution also does not allow you to enable or disable backups. Sometimes, our users will connect via mobile device and it will use their data to perform the backup. If they were able to enable and disable the backup, they would not have this issue."

"Integration with a hybrid cloud is something that I found complicated."

"A disaster recovery console would be an improvement for the product."

"An area for improvement that would really work out well would be if there were a little bit more of an elegant handshake relationship between SolarWinds RMM and the PCs that are being backed up, to advise regarding "up" status... Since RMM is an agent that feeds back that a machine is alive and on, I don't see any reason why they can't either tap into that one feature or build the same exact polling within the backup agent, to update right away and say the system is online or offline."

"We don't use the solution’s automated recovery testing because SolarWinds made me cross. When they released it, I went, "Oh, well, that's quite good." Because if you use the system, then it supposedly spins up, and on the portal, it gives you a screenshot of the booted device. So, I phoned up, and I said, "Oh, that's really quite cool. How much is that?" They said, "No, no, no. It's all included in your license." I went, "Okay then," and went and deployed it on about half the fleet. One of the options that our customers have is they can pay us a small amount every month for us to test the recovery just to prove that it's viable, and I thought, "Well, this will do that for us. Nice." Then, in the next invoice, we got a charge for it. While It was not a huge amount, I took offense at the fact that we were told that it would be a no extra cost option that was part of our license, but it turns out that it's chargeable. Therefore, we haven't used it since."

"The reporting feature and functionality need improvement. We would like to see a little bit more detailed reporting that offers more CEO or C-level focused reporting options."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."

"The price is reasonable compared to other products."

"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"This is a cost-effective solution."

"The cost is around ten dollars per workstation a month and that includes a certain amount of data."

"The pricing of SolarWinds seems to be fair compared to the rest of the industry."

"The price isn't extreme, but I'd love to pay less."

"The pricing is very competitive and it's well worth the price."

"N-able Cove Data Protection is an averagely-priced product."

"The pricing, for now, is good. The package that they gave us recently is pretty good. It depends on how many clients you have, and you pay for certain terabytes per license. These terabytes, if not used, are pooled together."

"When you have a device/appliance on the site quite a lot of the other enterprise class backup people insist that you have their appliance, which is frankly offensively expensive. Because when you pry the top off, it's just a standard 19-inch tin box with a standard Intel I5 in it, some RAM, and a hard drive. Then, you go, "Why have they just charged me 5,500 quid for a box, which I could have probably build for under 500." Whereas, with the SolarWinds product, they don't have that. The backup appliances that we have onsite are just plain cooking PCs. We can build our own machines, which is reflected in the price that we can offer a customer."

"Cove only takes the data you have on the physical server. I can back that up for long periods of time, and I don't accrue high charges to have the data in the cloud. It stays at one rate. This allows me to forecast payment for the next one or two years and show clients their estimated growth."
