Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Cost effective product. Integrated with one drive for easy and cost effective storage management. Flexible & customization. Restoration easy and effective. With BluVault, we are using a centralized portal to check the backup status, access the backups that were completed, and also restore them whenever required for any end-user irrespective of where they are located. Parablu also allowed us to integrate our current identity solution to enable single sign-on which was quite helpful to ensure that our end-user has a seamless experience while backing up or restoring their data. Last, but not least, is the encryption of backup data and the fact that we control those encryption keys. First thing that Parablu’s solution enabled for us was easy restores of data. Whether it is a file, folder. Bluvault has made backup and recovery easy. Bluvault’s lightweight agent also does not affect the performance of the endpoints and interfere with bandwidth distribution among other high priority applications. We were evaluating a few different solutions for endpoint backup, but we realised that the cost of cloud storage for backup was quite high. We decided to use Parablu because one of their products - BluVault offered us the capability to utilize OneDrive cloud storage that we already had as a part of the O365 subscription and it helped us to get a good ROI out of our O365 subscription. We approached Parablu when we decided to start backing up our crucial endpoint data. After an initial trial it was clear that Parablu was the kind of solution we were looking for. While there were several hosted options, our security team was clear that we should host the backup servers(s) on-premise. So, we needed a hybrid arrangement that kept our backup servers on-premise while still using a cloud storage destination (we were keen on leveraging our MS OneDrive space). Parablu’s BluVault worked seamlessly in this hybrid model, enabling us completely unattended backups from our endpoints to OneDrive every day. The adaptability of the solution to our unique requirements made it especially attractive to work with. Our experience from trial to deployment has been smooth and we’ve been a happy customer now for over 5 years. The tech support team is outstanding. Akanksha, from the Parablu support team has been able to address any questions that arise, quickly and efficiently . We have been using Parablu’s BluVault for over two years now to backup our endpoint data to Google Drive. We save proprietary data on our endpoints which are crucial to our business. There are several backup solutions out there, but Parablu is the only one we’ve found that supports Google Drive (I believe they also support OneDrive) as a storage target. This was important for us because we were already a GSuite customer and had GDrive available as part of our subscription. BluVault’s ability to utilize the unused GDrive space we have as a secure backup vault – was a key factor in our decision to use Parablu. Unlike in the case of any other backup solution, we didn’t have to fork over additional $$ for cloud storage. It is an enterprise class product with all the bells and whistles you need, but is super simple to manage and requires minimum intervention. Our endpoints are mostly at our field locations which are in remote areas of the country; but Parablu was able to connect all the dots for us and we now protect our endpoint data anywhere, anytime. The consistent professionalism exhibited by their support team has built up our trust sufficiently now that we feel confident in their hands. I would like to especially call out Koti from their support team, who is always proactive and on top of his game. Cons Features can be fine tuned further to make it a more stable product. Support need pro-active mechanism to seek improvement areas and take pro-active actions to improve product quality and performance. We have been using the solution for a while now and we haven't had any concerns so far. Reporting part can improve little bit. Nothing other we have come across as of now. No Cons as of now, am sure if we get some concerns team Parablu will promptly help us. Nothing as such to mention as the product satisfies our need of on the go backup and restoration.		Pros from Real Users Pros Very easy to submit a support ticket via the control panel. I was notified of ticket updates via email almost instantly. Support was friendly and knowledgeable. What I liked most about Comet Backup is its flexibility and security. The customizable storage options and fast recovery process make it a reliable solution for data protection.

Comet Backup is easy use and offers great features automatic backups and strong data encryption it works well with various platforms and cloud storage options, making it perfect for my needs. There are many things that i like about Comet Backup some of them are. Good user interface, clean dashboards, user friendly software as well as very much cost effective. The application provides a very easy way to back up with enough flexibility in the customization. The implementation and ease of use is very efficient and makes the features work better. It even integrates seamlessly with other cloud providers like azure. The support has been great to deal with. Some bugs were found and they were quick to mitigate them. Backup works great. Easy API. I like the ability to host my own server. Easy to setup and supports a wide range of operating systems including NAS vendors. First of all, I chose this product because it had all the features I needed and was relatively affordable. Second, I’ve been using it for several years now, and there haven’t been any major issues—whenever something did come up, support was always quick to help. Third, the bulk update feature is especially useful, as it updates all the clients, so there’s no need to do it manually or set up additional automation. White Label Setup. Prompt Support. Frequent Product Updates. Easy to Use Web Interface (both Client Side & Admin Side).
