"Solid Backup Option"
5/5
What do you like best about Comet Backup?

I love the amount of configure ability and the fact that it's self hosted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

I know it sounds like a cop out but honestly there isn't anything yet that has had me thought I disliked it. The dashboard out of the box is maybe eh, but it can be configured. Maybe a Zabbix integration would be nice? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Service good prices"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Comet Backup?

the software offers a variety of solutions which allow it to adapt in differetn types of tech/business environmnts. The interface is very user friendly and with few clicks you can setup a whole backup plan for an entire organization. The price is very convenient for both an individual user or an entire company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

Unfortunatelly the company is based in New Zeland which makes it rather difficult to get in touch with them over the phone for those who live in certain areas as for example in the east coast of the United States. However their support team always responds as soon as possible over email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid Backup Solution"
5/5
What do you like best about Comet Backup?

Comet allows me to connect to my Backblaze B2 storage and saves a ton of money. The license cost is minimal, and paired with B2 I save thousands of dollars a year. I have restored everything from brick-level to BMR of a host or restoring Hyper-V machines. Easy setup and configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

Nothing to complain about with Comet. It handles everything I need to perform offsite backups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Auto-updates. We've only had one or two instances where we have had to install updates manually. Overall, it only takes minutes to install new versions and update all clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing stands out, we've had no major issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent product backed up by excellent support"
5/5
What do you like best about Comet Backup?

Ultimately it just works, it is much faster than previous products we have used, restores are a lot quicker, i like the fact the restore speed is consistent and takes around the same amount of time to backup a recent backup as it would if we tried to restore the first backup taken, no more waiting for incremental's to be merged.

Setting up backup sets is a simple process and only takes a matter of minutes to get up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Comet Backup?

There isn't much; as a newer product, it doesn't have all the plugins some of the competitors have, but we have seen new ones being added so im confident that any others that we are missing will be added in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
