SolarWinds saved the day when disaster struck one of our clients, we were able to restore everything quickly and easily as if nothing had happened. Common backup and rescue media is easy to create. Customer support was easy to deal with. We have experienced no issues using SolarWinds Backup and recommend it to all of our clients.
SolarWinds Backup is easy and efficient to use. The web interface is easy to use. Just simply install on the devices and you are ready to go. You own your own data. There are no storage limits which is an asset.
There are a few limits on the scheduling features but we have managed to work around them.

All in all I am very happy with this product, I am not looking for an alternative for my basic file and folder backup and restoration for our clients
Super easy to deploy, doesn't even require a reboot; and you are up and running.
Restore is great; but the disaster recovery options are limited.For clients with 100s of thousands of files; restoring files that you are looking for is not searchable from the restore GUI; and the virtual disk can be really slow to index.

We use this software for everything from full server restores to single file restores. It always does its job.
This product is extremally easy to use. In just a few minutes you can restore a file or folder to a users machine to to a server.
Other than it working a bit slow sometimes which it to be expected with a backup software, I do not have any real complaints about it.

I've used other backup software in the past and I can say this is the best one I've ever used, hands down.
Backups are reliable and easy to implement at any time. You can store multiple weeks or even months of backups at a time, and restoring data when needed is a snap!
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.

Overall, I have been happy with the product. The online backup option has decreased the amount of time spent working with clients to connect local backup drives. Support has been very helpful.
Overall, Solarwinds Backup just works with little intervention needed. I was skeptical of what was promised by the sales people, but after using it, I was very impressed. The online backup function helps to ensure backups always complete if local hardware is disconnected or failed.
I have run into some problems that have delayed restores, but in each instance, support has been able to help restore the device successfully. It would be nice if there was a local only option for backups. The price of the product is higher than other options.

Solid file and database backup feature. Versioning is built into the product with customization of schedules and standardization across customer base is excellent. I've used many different products and consider SolarWinds backup to re reliable and dependable.
It is fully integrated into N-Central, SolarWinds RMM product. This allows for centralized management from the RMM console and easy templating and monitoring of the backups themselves.
When compared to Veeam or other mature products it is lacking in features. However, direct apples to apples comparisons it does a very good job of file level and database level backups.

I recently made the "big step" to set up an external server for my work. Since then, smaller, non-business optimized cloud services didn't seem to scale up in pricing and protection, so i subscribed to SolarWinds Backup. It obviously has a ton of tools, that i might never need. But since my daily work routine is based on different projects with different customers, it's crucial to have a central storage point, that is easily accessible from everywhere and reliably saves all the steps of editing.
With several backup-steps SolarWinds Backup assures a complete protection from dataloss. Data is easily accessible from everywhere and backups are generated automatically and efficiently. The ability to access old versions of backups is especially helpful to never lose progress!
I didn't encounter any real problems with this software. The load of functions can be overwhelming, especially with all of the cryptic abbreviations. Honestly though, this is not a real con, but rather my own problem!

It's a great product for client with both large and small amounts of data. Easy to install and configure.
Not easy to setup if you want passing clients to run a free trial and download the software and create their own account without contacting someone in Administration.

Practical solution that provides a backup and recovery tool to prevent reconfiguration in the event of system failures.
It is very accurate in the creation of copies of the entire computer including user, application and configuration data, as well as the operating system, it allows the planning of common backups and creates rescue media that are necessary in case of incident with the workstations.
It has a wide range of configurable options so it is necessary to study your options calmly so that the data backup is reliable and adequate according to each requirement.

I have a batter experience with this software I rate it 8.5/10.
I use this software to recover my data and copy it for future use. It is easiet software and very simple to use. anyone who is new or old can easily recover, and back up their data it also protects your server.
During its use, I feel it has a slow processing speed. but if the user only use this software the speed easily reaches its highest limit.

There is worrying and complains over data loss in case of a shuttering cyber attack
There is a free software available for demo to enable the buyer make an informed decision to buy the product Its easy to install and use the software
In organizations that do not have secure foolproof mechanisms, an attack on their servers may lead to leakage of crucial and confidential information

The installation time take the lead as it is pretty straightforward and less complicated when compared to other softwares have used. Branding of clients is one feature i find intriguing and useful plus the entire process is easy to do.
I am disgruntled by the fact that solarwinds backup does not allow for multiple backup sets and the inability to choose whether data is to be store locally or in the cloud is also pretty annoying
