## Reviews

### "Reliable backups, excellent interface." — 5.0/5

> **Gary** | *20 March 2021* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Backups are reliable and easy to implement at any time.&#10;You can store multiple weeks or even months of backups at a time, and restoring data when needed is a snap\!
> 
> **Cons**: Getting help from SolarWinds support can take a few days if they're busy; a very good knowledge base is available to all users and can usually resolve most issues, but speaking to an actual engineer for difficult troubleshooting can be difficult to get started.
> 
> I've used other backup software in the past and I can say this is the best one I've ever used, hands down.

### "Cove backup provides a solid backup strategy" — 5.0/5

> **Michael** | *28 April 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We find that Cove is not only easy to use, but the customer support is exceptional, and we really like the fact that the backups are immutable. We use it to backup both physical on prem servers as well as virtual servers. We also like the fact that we can backup to the cloud.
> 
> **Cons**: When a backup fails, it can be difficult to diagnose the problem without some guidance from technical support
> 
> Mostly our experience with Cove Backup has been a set it and forget it.  We are notified when there is a failure with our backups and are then able to go in and correct the issue.

### "Coast Techs Consulting review of Cove" — 3.0/5

> **Eliot** | *11 May 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It does what its supposed to at a fair cost. Ive also dealt with some kind and helpful support people.
> 
> **Cons**: That there isnt a centralized, easy to read page that shows the total billable count, broken down by each client. And that you cannot delete specific dates from your backup, you would need to delete the entire backup history if you wanted to remove a single file that shouldnt have been backed up.
> 
> Seems like its a better budget option. The price is the selling point, but the interface could be better. Support seems good so far.

### "Cove Data Protection - the Right Choice" — 5.0/5

> **George** | *12 May 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Overall Cove Data Protection is a great tool for an MSP. With a quick learning curve and simple deployment it's a good value.  I like the integration with N-Sight and the ease of remote management. The licensing options make it a no-brainer to recommend to my clients.
> 
> **Cons**: Maybe I'm a little bias, but I really can't find any "cons". I have used other products and they were all "overkill" and overly complicated.
> 
> My overall experience with Cove Data Protection has been positive.  Finding a product that's easy to deploy, at a fair price with flexible licensing options makes it a great choice for MSPs. We are a "small" MSP and it fits our needs perfectly, but with Cove being  feature rich, I'm sure it will serve much larger MSPs as well.

### "Great Value and ROI" — 4.0/5

> **David** | *08 May 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The seamless update and availability of backups. The granular file restore is very intuitive and easy to use. Also, the email reporting feature is helpful.
> 
> **Cons**: The restore process should be better. Multiple steps need to be completed for restoration with too many issues to potentially exist. I understand all environments are different, so this might be a challenge. Also, Visibility of critical concerns, rather than just a three-tier color system. Example: Any error in system state will give a red color. Despite OS still capable of restoration, despite the error. Maybe an informational color will help. A proactive approach is needed.
> 
> Overall experience is great. Support is hit and miss. Some are knowledgeable and others its clear they are reading a script or need to inquire with more senior techs.

Storage in our private cloud is included, with data centers worldwide.\n\nCove Data Protection™ offers backup that is up to 60X more efficient than traditional image backup, allowing you to back up directly to our private cloud as often as every 15 minutes.
