Great Backup software for MSP or Small Business
My overall experience from the Onboarding Video Call to getting it all setup and running has been great. Any questions or issues have been taken care of quickly, and I can have the peace of mind that stuff is safe.
PROSWe got this software as a solution for our MSP business. It has all of the features that you need backup client's equipment without breaking the bank.
CONSThere are some parts to it that are confusing in the initial scheduling of the backups, but once you do it a few times it gets better.
Reason for choosing Comet Backup
Ended up going with Comet as it was the back end for these other options.
Reasons for switching to Comet Backup
It was more about a better price with the same or better features for one program. The other was unreliable and couldn't tell if the backup was done or not.

Great backup good price
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.
PROSCentral 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.
CONSRestores 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.
Reason for choosing Comet Backup
The price point was good and it included re branding and one of the biggest things was the image backup that did not rely on windows built in backup.
Reasons for switching to Comet Backup
Pricing given to use when joining and used to price our product to clients changed and it became unfeasible for us to continue, their sales team did not care and made excuses as to why they could not honer the original price, there were a few other issue with the software and support response was also poor.

Review Cloud Web
Overall it's between OK and good. Hopefully there will be big updates to smooth out the ease-of-use.
PROSThe pricing, the featureset and the scheduling of tasks.
CONSThe Server back-end, sometimes there are weird errors backing up restored VM's, sometimes slow performance, no instant disaster recovery from the data.

Comet after a year.
So far, so good. It seems to be reliable for the most part. Would like some more in depth reporting and monitoring features, but for the price, it's been very good value.
PROSQuite easy to set up, inexpensive pricing.
CONSNeed to be able to back up MS365 data without relying on a dedicated endpoint at the client end. We can't use it for MS365 backups without that feature and are using another backup tool for that side of backups.
Reason for choosing Comet Backup
Pretty much it came down to price. Veeam and Cove were both more mature platforms, and had more features, but Comet ticked our boxes at a better price point.
Reasons for switching to Comet Backup
Pricing and feature set. Comet had more features for the price. We also loved the idea of self hosting the server and using Wasabi / S3 as a storage target.
