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

"I know I won't have an issue if the data is there. The reliability and the confidence that we have is amazing. It doesn't matter. We've had customers have ransomware. We've had customers that have had corruption. We've had customers that have had employees destroy their data. As long as it's been backed up, I know that I can get it back and I know I have nothing to worry about. Our confidence level is very high."

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

"The integration of N-able Cove Data Protection into our existing infrastructure is easy."

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

"The ease of use and the console are great."

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

"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."

More N-able Cove Data Protection pros

"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."

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

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

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

"We find the ease of use valuable."

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

Cons

"N-able Cove Data Protection for Microsoft 365 is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."

"We would like to have better reporting."

"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."

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

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

"There aren’t any challenges. Regarding the additional features, Cove is limited to disaster recovery with Azure. It would be great to make disaster recovery compatible with AWS."

"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 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."

More N-able Cove Data Protection cons

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

"It could be cheaper."

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

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

More N-able Cove Data Protection pricing and cost advice

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

"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."

"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."

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