Comparison Results: N-able Cove Data Protection is praised for its user-friendly interface, reliability, cloud-based data protection, and efficient backup and restore capabilities. However, there are areas that need improvement such as image restores, graphical interface, user permissions, and agent reliability. On the other hand, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is valued for its easy-to-use management console, incremental backups, and active protection against ransomware. However, there are areas for improvement including server performance, user-friendliness, compatibility, reporting capabilities, and pricing. Both products receive positive feedback regarding customer service and support.
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud has very easy backup and recovery capabilities."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"The product has been very reliable from day one. The biggest advantage of the cloud is that you can scale up and down as you go along."
"The agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery."
"We like the backup functionality."
"It's extremely important that Cove provides cloud-based data protection with backup, disaster recovery, and archiving. That is a necessity for my insurance. As an IT company, my insurance would cost more if my backups were not offsite and off-network."
"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."
"The most valuable feature by far is the Virtual Disaster Recovery. On top of that is the bare-metal recovery. The recovery options that we have are great. We have tested the Virtual Disaster Recovery and the bare-metal recovery in just about any scenario you can think of. We have even restored bare metal, a full server, to a laptop, and had full functionality. It's just insane how well it works and how simple it is. It does most of the work for you."
"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."
"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."
"The ease of use and the console are great."
"The most valuables feature is the alerts and monitoring that catches the failed backups."
"The initial setup of N-able Cove Data Protection was very easy."
"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."
"For you to actually see the full logs, you have to use additional tools or even contact support so they can pull them with own tools."
"The Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud server could improve by having better performance."
"I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The tool needs to have better protection. The tool should be also able to take backups while users are offline and upload to the cloud whenever the internet connection is restored or if there is a good bandwidth."
"The shortcomings in the solution can be overcome if the product improves in the area of completion time so that the restoration process does not take much time."
"I would like to see more integration with SIEM solutions."
"The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic."
"I think the pricing part of the solution is very complicated, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We would like to have better reporting."
"N-able Cove Data Protection for Microsoft 365 is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"A feature I'd like to see would be a more customizable admin console."
"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."
"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."
"One area I don't like has to do with the agent that goes on the system... if a system stays offline for some length of time, say for a week or so, I may have to go back in and reinstall the agent to get it back in business. I don't know what's causing that."
"A disaster recovery console would be an improvement for the product."
"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."
