Cove Data Protection Demo - Cove main dashboard
Cove's unified multi-tenant dashboard includes color-coded charts, so you can check backup status at a glance, across all customers/locations and data sources.
Cove Data Protection Demo - M365 detail
Cove can protect your Microsoft 365 Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams data, all for one low per-user price.
Cove Data Protection Demo - Fast incremental backups
Cove's cloud-first efficiency means that incremental backups are up to 60X smaller than with image backup, so direct-to-cloud backups take seconds or minutes, not hours. Back up more often, and meet stricter RPOs, with Cove.

"Cove just works!"
What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

We like that we can setup Cove backups and not have to worry about whether some unexplained issue will come up and cause them to fail. We also love the recovery testing feature! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

We wish the recovery testing could consolidate individual tests into one easy to read report across multiple clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use system"
What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

Cove Data Protection is easy to configure and very reliable. Together with other systems from N-Able, it is a perfect match. We use it for the daily backup. Even if something is not working the customer support helps you out very quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use with minor leaning curve"
What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

The user interface is very nice and easy to use. No reboots are needed when installing the agents, and they are not limited to the storage size of a local appliance. Customer service is good as there are different options and good response times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

More flexibility when it comes to using a local appliance for faster recovery. Restoration can be slow sometimes as it's dependent on a good internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The GUI isn't as intuitive as I would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cove does what it says it will do"
What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

It's easy! Easy to setup, use and restore. I think their biggest claim to fame for me is the O365 backup. I've used two other solutions which were both cumbersome to setup and use. When we onboard a new customer, we've got O365 backup working in 5 minutes.

I also like the endpoint backup. I actually had to do a bare metal restore and it worked flawlessly. Honestly, I could not believe it. I dove into the restore without reading any docs. I hit a couple of bumps, read the applicable KBs and poof - I had an exact copy of my back up on dissimilar hardware. I don’t even know if the dissimilar part is supported - but I can tell you it worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

No gripes about Cove. My only challenge with N-able is billing. They are getting better though. I need more reporting from their billing portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cove Data Protection - Immutable Cloud backups for on premise systems"
What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

Cove Data Protection offers cloud restore of physical and virutal systems that can be easily restored to a Hyper-V virtual machine, VMware virtual machine, or a physical system using bare metal restore. With continous restore options, you can even have a VM that is restored whenever a backup is taken. It was easy to restore a physical system to a VM. With a Local Speed Vault encrypted cache, restores can be much quicker than pulling down all data from the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

The passphrase and security key have different names in different places. When selecting a point-in-time restore, the selection screens change (just be careful to double check before you start.) I'm not a huge fan of the restore-to creating the directory structure starting with the source drive letter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cove Data Protection - Product Review"
What do you like best about Cove Data Protection?

The best feature of Cove Data Protection is that it is easy to deploy, setup, and run to protect your data. You can utilize the dashboard to quickly determine if backups have run and whether they completed successfully. We like that there are no limitations imposed by the program as to the size or number of the data source. Backups run very efficiently, typically much faster than competitive products, are encrypted in flight and at rest, and can be scheduled based on our client's requirements. Both laptops, desktops, servers, and cloud based storage can be backed up. You can event run backups to an external data center where the original workstation or server could be booted up and run from there. Restores are straightforward and can easily be tested. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cove Data Protection?

Would like to see Cove Data Protection provide a feature that enables users to restore data files from previous versions of a backup directly from the same dashboard where they can initiate backups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
