Cove is growing and catching up

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates N-able Cove Data Protection from other similar products?

Ease of use, plug and play. The team. Cove is catching up and they are doing just that

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The team and ability to listen to the ideas. The team and people of produce a real challenger in the market space

What do you dislike most about this product?

1.) Documentation does not state the additional efforts to implement the log generation for bare metal restores. 2.) Device history does not provide evidence that a BareMetal has occurred. 3.) This demonstrates that bare metal restores can escape the organisation as there is no alerting or reporting and or lack of evidence base logs. We remain confident that Cove has the backend telemetry if or when legal investigation must intervein however it’s best to surface these within available audit/reporting locations. Also : There seems to be no report to showcase what type of restore have occurred over x period?

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Backups work, restores work and the team is great. Return on investment is real
