"Excellent cloud and local backups for MSPs"
What do you like best about Comet Backup?

The Comet-hosted server control panel gives you fine-grained control over a broad feature set and a quick view of the health and status of all your backup jobs. Using deduplication superior even to block-level incremental backups, Comet's chunk-based technology delivers faster, smaller, incremental-forever backup jobs. The web control panel lets you perform more tasks than competing services. without requiring that you remote in to servers and workstations. Tech Support is truly supportive and responsive, though it is rare to need them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

Some of the terminology is non-standard, such as "protected item" instead of "backup job." A few items in the interface are in unexpected places. These quibbles are not significant barriers to getting Comet Backup up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible, cost-effective, high-performance storage ideal for fast, secure backups."
What do you like best about Comet Backup?

Comet is an essential solution in our company. It allows us to keep our data under protection; it guarantees the operation of our company in case of any chaos; that is, it provides us with access to backup copies of our data quickly and safely.

Its backup differs from other software because it is not limited to backup but also guarantees the restoration of that valuable information, whether it is servers, data, files and more.

We have experimented with other backup software, which always has disadvantages. Comet has generated a pleasant and rewarding experience for us from the first moment; its installation is simple, and its support team is always attentive and available for any questions.

I like that it is available for any operating system, such as Windows and Linux, Linux is almost always left behind by software. Still, Comet has chosen to have it, which is an excellent benefit since not all users have Windows.

Comet provides a friendly, versatile and very easy-to-use interface where it is possible to obtain visibility of all our storage; this helps us better manage and save time. It also provides us with information regarding the status of our equipment so that they always work correctly. For example, some equipment had lost connection, but Comet notified us quickly, and we were able to solve this in a short period.

With Comet, we guarantee the protection of our data and that of our clientele or our remote workforce and likewise, we maintain order in each backup copy made; that is, it does not allow data to be saved if they are already loaded, which keeps us space and allows to put aside the duplication of these. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

Comet has done a magnificent job; its operation is clean, and its support team is qualified; we have had some questions, and their responses have been immediate, but I would like their versions always to be compatible so that we can always maintain the same level of functionality and updated features since once your version is updated, there is no way to access the previous version.

"One of the Best Backup systems I have used!"
What do you like best about Comet Backup?

I have had issues on my end and the support given seems to work just perfectly. It is done through a ticket system where you can upload pics and problems. Seems to work just fine so far. I have about 8 Businesses on it as I am a MSP. I do regular integrity checks to ensure everything works. They have a system for adding features that is kind of cool where you can click and promote an Idea. in short, these problems will meet any need that you require! I am not connected to them I am located in Canada at itcentral.ca Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

There is one thing that is being addressed as I type this. They are creating a VM backup where you can go into the backup and recover individual files, when that happens, I can finally close all my Veemn accounts.

and I guess the Pay up front model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
