Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review If your business (or your clients) use QBO using Rewind is an absolute no-brainer in my book. For a modest monthly cost (less than $10 per month per QBO file) you get cheap insurance against losing data and having to spend endless hours re-creating everything. When we use QB Desktop we back up the client QB files for the same reason. Now that things are increasingly moving to QBO we have the same option through Rewind.
Read full review Pros Backup Reporting: Email alerts, and a great, easy to read Dashboard with detailed error logs and an easy to search Solarwinds FAQ for a lot of them. Restores: So far I have restored files, full VMs, and VMs to other hardware, and so far it has not only been flawless, but so flexible that I can't imagine going back to any other software. Read full review I like that it has an organized and very simple-to-use user interface, with a very striking and colorful appearance. The one that allows you to make backup copies in an automated way, leaving aside the long manual process and its wait. The one that grants an incredible rewind function that differentiates it from the rest and gives the advantage of reestablishing any unwanted step or change that is not to our liking. The one that is a software that not only covers the creation of backup copies but also provides the protection of these thanks to its encryption. Read full review Cons Restore complete settings: IP settings, the setting of CPU/Memory for VMs, etc. would decrease management during a restore. Individual file backup: more granular settings for backup. Change of device name after setup: at times, computer names change after restore so it would be great to rename the device name. Option to recovery security key. Read full review The interface is a bit slow; it would be nice to have something much more interactive and visually appealing. Not only that, but platform loading times in general can be slow. However, making copies or rewinds flows daily. Read full review Usability Because is a flexible, easy-to-use, complete solution.

Read full review Alternatives Considered Cove is able to cover all aspects of backup in a single package. From the same dashboard I can check servers, workstations, and even Office 365. Cove is a much better solution in terms of overall management for a company such as ours. It also provides integration options with N-Able's RMM and Take Control solutions. This allows us to offer our customers with a full service suite in a single package.
Read full review Trello only has manual backup options, which only save raw data in the form of spreadsheet exports--which would be a nightmare to rebuild into new boards! Other Trello backup options were similar. Rewind is the only one I've found that can recover the boards as they were at specific moments in time (i.e. right before losing data).
Read full review Return on Investment There has been NO negative impact to out ROI, but it definitely helps our bottom line. Affordable pricing and solid support make Solarwinds Backup almost a no brainer. That interprets to a growing ROI. The best thing to happen to our ROI is the growth brought in by very happy clients. Read full review I feel a lot more liberated to experiment with different page layouts and styles without worrying about causing any damage to the shop. With the ability to rewind and restore to a previous backup, we have more peace of mind while experimenting with new functionality. I don't have to worry about remembering to back up because it does it for me on a regular basis. Read full review ScreenShots
