We performed a comparison between N-able Cove Data Protection and Rubrik Go based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two SaaS Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 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."
"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."
"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 initial setup of N-able Cove Data Protection was very easy."
"The most valuables feature is the alerts and monitoring that catches the failed backups."
"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 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."
"The solution is easy to install; our team just has to put together the plan, give it to IT and let them handle it. Other solutions are quite complex, but this is much simpler."
"The most valuable feature is the storage efficiency, as the storage footprint is very good."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"Rubrik Go's best feature is data visualization."
"In terms of stability, the product is good."
"We use the solution as a backup for our virtual environment and SQL databases."
"Even though the data is already in the cloud, it's an AWS, so by accessing the on-prem appliance you can still search because it is indexed from that appliance."
"The standout feature is its ransomware protection capabilities."
"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."
"N-able Cove Data Protection for Microsoft 365 is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"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."
"A feature I'd like to see would be a more customizable admin console."
"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."
"There could be a possibility to create a local NAS backup for infrastructure."
"A disaster recovery console would be an improvement for the product."
"A better default view on my dashboard would be great. There is a lot of useless information there that it pulls up. They could present the dashboard slightly better, in terms of the extra information after the first five columns. The first five columns are awesome. After that, I don't care about the rest, and there are another seven things after that."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"If you were to compare it to, say, EMC, the availability of the documentation, training programs, and end-user education aren't as good. Rubrik could improve this."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"The tool's pricing needs to be improved."
"If you're going for Rubrik, you are not opting for the tape library because Rubrik doesn't have the fiber cable connected to the tape library."
"You should be able to add more workloads to Rubrik Go."
