Google Vault vs. Cove Data Protection

Google vault is good to use when you have large document files which needs to be put in cold storage or turn cold storage to hot storage in case the documents need to be retrieved. I t works well on automating tasks around till how long one needs to hold on to the data and then retire the documents as well. Some areas where the Google Vault would be less useful is if some documents needs to be used frequently and they are put in the vault as Google Vault is expensive to use very frequently.

Solarwinds Backup is ideal for individuals looking to keep a consistent backup of devices in their environment. We used it primarily for networking equipment. It is easy to set up, as it is one of the steps available when adding a new device to solarwinds. It is probably not an ideal product to use for long-term (1 month+) backups.

• Daily backups are easy to create and activate and run on schedule as desired by the client.
• Easy SQL backups no matter your SQL favor, it's just a few clicks to back them up.
• Very good system state backups that several of our older clients have used (out of necessity) to recover systems and data from dead machines.

• More export options are available to the user, specifically allowing exported data to be imported into a new account easily

• To perform restores on a different location, there's a need to install a standalone application call the Recovery Console, which makes it too much trouble. Instead, this should have been performed over the same backup management portal, where you should have been able to select in which location you want to restore.
• The business continuity features, available for the system state backups, like restoring a backup as a virtual machine or performing a bare-metal restore, also require to install different standalone applications for each. And in disaster scenarios, both tasks take too much time to get everything running.
• The retention of the backups (the archiving feature) needs to be set up individually for each server at a time, when this is something that should be more easily managed by the service provider (not expecting to be set up by the customer in each device) as a general setting within the Backups Profiles or Product Management.
• There should be a better reporting tool, that would allow to export backup and restore events, as well as user activities.
• The configurations for Backup Profiles and Product Management could be redundant and confusing.

Cove Data Protection is very usable as it's easy to tell that it is made to not only do backup very well, but it's also easy to deploy. The agent-based deployment allows for flexible deployment options while ensuring a minimal amount of manual work is needed on the dashboard end. Recovery is also very easy, especially as it relates to one-off file recovery

Veritas Enterprise Vault although the best backup solution present was quite expensive and difficult to implement at an org level. Google Vault is very smooth and easy to implement with orgs already using Google Workspace for business. The only reason for selecting Google Vault was a quick TAT for implementation but if your org has time for that, Veritas Vault is the best option wrt Storage, discovery, post-sales support, pricing, etc.

Solarwinds Backup provides the most comprehensive backup system. After testing all other systems the weaknesses of Solarwinds Backup are much less severe or risky compared to others. As well the overall cost of Solarwinds Backup's value is the main reason for choosing Solarwinds Backup as the primary backup/DR provider.

• I can't speak to every dollar and cent involved, but I can tell you that the daily task of checking backup status has changed from at least an hour just to check VEEAM and Windows Backup statuses for multiple clients, to checking two pages and then digging into any problems. So as far as productivity goes, it's been wonderful!
