We compared N-able Cove Data Protection and Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud across several parameters based on our users' reviews. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: N-able Cove Data Protection is praised for its user-friendly interface, reliability, cloud-based data protection, and efficient backup and restore capabilities. However, there are areas that need improvement such as image restores, graphical interface, user permissions, and agent reliability. On the other hand, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is valued for its easy-to-use management console, incremental backups, and active protection against ransomware. However, there are areas for improvement including server performance, user-friendliness, compatibility, reporting capabilities, and pricing. Both products receive positive feedback regarding customer service and support.
"The most valuable features are the automated backup, and that you are able to manage all of your devices centrally."
"The main strengths of Acronis lie in its cost-effectiveness, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive services."
"Stability is a ten. No issues, no performance drops, and no crashes."
"The agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"We find the product to be very scalable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"A valuable feature is the user-friendly control management. I appreciate the integrated service, where just one agent and one virtual management are needed to handle everything. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support has been consistently excellent. The initial setup is straightforward."
"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 initial setup of N-able Cove Data Protection was very easy."
"What I like the most about it's the ease of use and the reliability that it has when copying information to the cloud."
"The most valuable feature by far is the Virtual Disaster Recovery. On top of that is the bare-metal recovery. The recovery options that we have are great. We have tested the Virtual Disaster Recovery and the bare-metal recovery in just about any scenario you can think of. We have even restored bare metal, a full server, to a laptop, and had full functionality. It's just insane how well it works and how simple it is. It does most of the work for you."
"Because the package includes cloud storage, we don't need to worry about hosting it inside. That was very important to us. And because the vendor has data centers worldwide, our reps in Europe and other places can get to what they need quickly and easily."
"For starters, this is one of few databases that allow us to backup MySQL databases, most others only support Microsoft SQL. This solution also has a very user-friendly interface accessed through a web browser. Additionally, backups can be easily configured through N-able Backup."
"I know I won't have an issue if the data is there. The reliability and the confidence that we have is amazing. It doesn't matter. We've had customers have ransomware. We've had customers that have had corruption. We've had customers that have had employees destroy their data. As long as it's been backed up, I know that I can get it back and I know I have nothing to worry about. Our confidence level is very high."
"It's their cloud, it's their storage. I don't have to buy a space on Amazon or Google's cloud and then use their software to push it. That works well for me. This way, I don't have to worry about another option or the opportunity that there might be a credential leak."
"What's lacking in Acronis Backup Cloud is a unified dashboard or console that lets you see the backup status of all clients."
"I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The tool needs to have better protection. The tool should be also able to take backups while users are offline and upload to the cloud whenever the internet connection is restored or if there is a good bandwidth."
"Reporting is not on par. It needs some more information as per customer or partner interest. I hope Acronis is working on it."
"It could be a little more user-friendly. The technical support also should be improved."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"In the solution, you have the customization option for reports but it is limited and should allow more customizations in terms of how long or when you can do the reports."
"The solution's provisioning of packages and how they are charged could be improved."
"The shortcomings in the solution can be overcome if the product improves in the area of completion time so that the restoration process does not take much time."
"A feature I'd like to see would be a more customizable admin console."
"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."
"N-able Cove Data Protection for Microsoft 365 is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"We would like to have better reporting."
"For small amounts of data, recovery is easy, but when it's large amounts of data, it takes forever. So, if they can have a service where they put our data on a hard drive and ship it to us as fast as possible, it would be great. Even if there's a fee associated with it, it's fine."
"For the MSP side, they could have more of a "security user" that can go in and only see certain clients. If you give somebody access as a technician, they can see all the clients."
"Integration with a hybrid cloud is something that I found complicated."
"The recovery side, the restore side, could be a little more optimized."
