Executive SummaryUpdated on Aug 17, 2025

N-able Cove Data Protection and Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup compete in the data protection and backup category. N-able Cove appears to have the upper hand due to its user-friendly approach, comprehensive disaster recovery options, and competitive pricing.

Features: N-able Cove Data Protection provides comprehensive disaster recovery, effective monitoring, and automation. It offers cloud-based and local data protection solutions with customizable alerts through a user-friendly dashboard. Nutanix Mine integrates seamlessly with Nutanix’s hyper-converged infrastructure and is known for its scalability, making it an excellent choice for larger enterprises.

Room for Improvement: N-able Cove users wish for enhanced dashboard customization and improved Linux backup functionality. It could also refine speed for initial cloud backups and integration capabilities with hybrid environments. Nutanix Mine users have pointed out pricing concerns, security compliance resilience, and the need for more comprehensive backup capabilities. Enhanced reporting features would benefit both products.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: N-able Cove Data Protection allows flexible deployment across on-premises, private, and hybrid cloud environments with excellent technical support noted for quick response and knowledgeable staff. Nutanix Mine offers deployment versatility but may present complexity with certain integrations. N-able Cove's customer service is reported to be superior.

Pricing and ROI: N-able Cove offers competitive pricing with flexible storage limits, providing predictable costs and noted savings compared to competitors like Veeam. Users appreciate its transparency and scalability, leading to strong ROI due to efficient cloud resource use. While Nutanix Mine is cost-effective for large enterprises, it may prove expensive for smaller businesses.

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.

An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support

I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides a single dashboard for all types of data protection, we monitor everything through a single dashboard. It simplifies everything overall. It allows us to see everything, whether passing or failing any issues, any problems through a single pane of glass that we don't have to click through or adjust as we go forward."

"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."

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

"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."

"It's their cloud, it's their storage. I don't have to buy a space on Amazon or Google's cloud and then use their software to push it. That works well for me. This way, I don't have to worry about another option or the opportunity that there might be a credential leak."

"For starters, this is one of few databases that allow us to backup MySQL databases, most others only support Microsoft SQL. This solution also has a very user-friendly interface accessed through a web browser. Additionally, backups can be easily configured through N-able Backup."

"The solution has reduced backup times by an immeasurable amount. Its backups are incremental, so you are only backing up data changes based on the last 24 hours or so. If you are also maintaining the stored images, the restores are also only incremental, happening in minutes. Whereas, with a lot of the other solutions that we have looked at, each time it goes to refresh the restore, then it has to build a completely new image. That takes forever. This solution also improves recovery time."

"The initial setup of N-able Cove Data Protection was very easy."

More N-able Cove Data Protection pros

"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."

"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."

"We find the ease of use valuable."

"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."

"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."

Cons

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

"We would like to have better reporting."

"I have some issues with the agent failing on workstations. I've had to completely uninstall several of them, delete everything, and start over to get them to work."

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

"For small amounts of data, recovery is easy, but when it's large amounts of data, it takes forever. So, if they can have a service where they put our data on a hard drive and ship it to us as fast as possible, it would be great. Even if there's a fee associated with it, it's fine."

"The only area that needs improvement is that it is a little bit difficult when you get into virtual machines. The initial deployment of Cove is a little tedious, not for standard machines, but when you get into specialty stuff, like Hyper-V."

"The one thing they don't are Linux servers, it's Windows only. I understand that directive. I have another product that I use for our Linux servers and stuff, but it would be nice if they had that flexibility on the Linux side. I understand the development and the world is geared towards Windows in 365, I know that's where the clienteles are and the business and the money is."

"N-able Cove Data Protection does not provide a lot of SaaS backup products, which is an area they can improve. Additionally, there are some limitations on the storage side, where I cannot have a lot of employees backing up their data."

More N-able Cove Data Protection cons

"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."

"The solution's setup process should be simplified."

"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."

"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."

"It could be cheaper."

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The only option I would like to see is an adjustable scale. Right now we have 250 seats and we're not using all of them. It would be nice to be able to save that little bit of money by being able to buy just what we need."

"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."

"The pricing is affordable. N-able Cove Data Protection has a direct-to-cloud architecture, but it also allows saving backups locally without extra storage costs."

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

"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."

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

"I believe that the price is very reasonable in comparison to other options. It is cheaper than both Redstor and Acronis and, since we are now using our own on-premise cloud, there is absolutely no comparison since we have unlimited storage rather than paying per gigabyte used for their onsite storage. We are currently able to backup fifty computers for the same price that we use to backup five computers."

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

More N-able Cove Data Protection pricing and cost advice

"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."

"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."

"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
