All the options for backup is really good. The features are a must. Work really smooth once its is setup > > **Cons**: Storage vaults is bit confusing. Local vault and UNC file might have a problem connecting. > > Overall really good for MSP customers. ----- ### "Working great so far." — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *19 October 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I found it simple to set up the server. I like that it's pretty customizable and the one time I did contact support, they were friendly and helpful. It's just worked since I got it installed. > > **Cons**: Not sure, maybe wish there were slight discounts on the per seat licenses or something when self hosting, but really, I don't think there is room to complain about pricing right now, it's a significantly better deal than something like Veeam when you just need something simple. Maybe some kind of automatic backup verification that can reload backups into VMs, check they boot and such and then delete similar to what bigger backup software have, but that's a big feature. Oh, and maybe an obvious way to use your own SSL certs instead of LetsEncrypt. ----- ### "Great backup good price" — 4.0/5 > **Rene** | *11 March 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Central cloud backup Server with options to and onsite backup servers too. Linux option for the backup server reduces our cost. No cost to run the backup server only cost per client device. Support for most types of storage. DAS, NAS, S3 and more. > > **Cons**: Restores can be slower then some competitors, no option to live mount the data found in some of the competition. Storage locking can be a challenge. > > The support team has been great and will even schedule a zoom to help you sort out your issue, they keep adding features and functionality so it just keep getting better, I feel like there are better solutions on the market but not at the price point. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/211642/comet-backup?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/211642/comet-backup) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
