What I like is how easy it is to use while still being very reliable. It runs backups automatically in the background and restoring files is quickly and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It just works! We have been using Cove for about 10 years and it has been a super solid product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes has glitches with System State backups. Usually resolved automatically or with a restart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The recent improvements to the centralized dashboard have made monitoring backups across multiple devices much easier. I also really like the addition of proactive alerting and reporting features they help ensure we never miss a failed backup. The improved UI feels more modern and intuitive, saving us time during daily checks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Cove Data Protection works well overall, the initial setup could be improved by making retention policies and storage location configuration more visible during onboarding. Currently, setting up custom retention requires navigating through several menus, which isn’t very intuitive for first-time users. It would also be helpful if backup scheduling allowed for more specific time windows and blackout periods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me the best things about Cove is how easy it is to install, manage and browse backups. The entire process from start to finish is so easy and if theres anything that trips you up then N-Able have great resources so you can learn. Installation is as easy as a script. I've used Cove every day basically and never had many issues if any. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

very rarely have issues with Cove however I wish I could view old logs and errors for any VDR that has failed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The solution is moving closer to the Proxmox world, and for all users who are abandoning the VMware world, this is a great thing. They've implemented the Enhanced Retention Policies UI, which has significantly improved the customization of retention policies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you back up a hypervisor like Microsoft Hyper-V and need to recover a single file from a VM, it requires installing a virtual drive that is set to the local drive letter B:. This virtual drive has read access to the backups and cannot be removed without a host reboot, which isn't always possible in a production environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cove Data Protection is one of those products that allow us to "sleep at night." We've taken it fleet wide to every one of the Partners we serve, and utilize it for everything from single file restores to complete Disaster Recovery scenarios. Its flexibility to provide comprehensive protection across workstations, servers, and Microsoft 365 while also being easily managed by our entire Engineering team makes it a no brainer. We've worked with nearly every "big name" in the business continuity space through the years, and Cove solidly sits as our sole go-to solution and remains so at each annual review/assessment of the product.

Native reporting continues to be the one main sticking point for us. Thankfully the team managing Cove Data Protection are very responsive and open to such feedback, and we have confidence in seeing growth in that area of the platform much sooner-than-later.

The reliability and ease of use is definitely the first that comes to mind. Was it not for the confirmation reports to remind me, Cove would almost be a set and forget data protection solution. My backups complete successfully day after day after day. The reliability of this service is amazing and the peace of mind that the automated recovery testing functionality provides is certainly on of my favourite features. The implementation is really made super simple and ingrates seamlessly with my RMM portal. Overall, fantastic product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is really no downside to it for me. I have used Cove at various clients in the past and more recently internally and Cove perfectly caters for all my requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
