Good backup solution but challenges with the stability

It is recommended that people know what they are starting with. A part of our challenge was we bought and needed to implement it. So by the time we went to implement it, we were running into support issues. Also, make a market comparison to ensure that the product you choose is what you want to end up with. I would give it a six out of ten because restoring from a backup takes longer than usual. It should happen in a matter of hours, not a matter of days. We are yet to have an experience when trying to restore from Acronis that we haven't had to wait at least a couple of days for our server to be available for testing or working.

CONRAD FORREST

President at MTS Consulting Group, Inc.

The solution provides the ability to backup all types of cloud drives, is inexpensive, and has decent support

MSP360 Backup provides the backup functionality, but we need to provide the storage component. We can use Azure, AWS, or another provider, but we need to choose the storage provider and create a bucket to store our data. The vendor is making changes to improve the functionality of the service and the separation of storage, but I would like to see more integration and a knowledge base of the tool. Currently trying to understand why the storage is separated and how to implement the storage properly is a challenge. Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service. Unlike other solutions such as Kohl which includes everything at one price. MSP360 Backup can be improved by adding inclusive pricing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."

"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."

"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."

"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."

"The licensing model is very good."

"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."

"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."

"The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has has been successfully backed up and what not. I do not mean the file or folder view, because that's problematic with GDPR, but I mean which machines have successfully backed up. It's very valuable because you don't have to check the machines. The second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."

"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."

"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."

"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."

"One massive advantage of this solution, as compared to more enterprise products, is that no firewall changes are needed on the client's premises. For the product to back up from the client's premise to the cloud, it just needs port 8 and port 443, which are anyway always open. This was one of the things that made us decide to go with the product. It is very difficult to justify a firewall change for a small client who doesn't even know what a firewall is and how to maintain a firewall, or doesn't have anybody maintaining their firewall. You then have to maintain the firewall. MSP360 Backup takes away firewall change requirements, VPNs, or channels that are needed for the backup."

"I was mainly concerned with cloud backups, OneDrive backups, consumer OneDrive, business OneDrive, Google backups, and SharePoint backups. The solution did a good job of the backup."

"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."

"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."

More MSP360 Backup pros

"Veeam Backup & Replication is definitely very useful and simple to learn, and the restoring processes are very straightforward, making it a very solid product."

"One person can manage parameters."

"The ability of instant VM recovery, which means starting the backup VM and getting it online while the recovery is still happening is the most valuable feature."

"It is way easier to take backup with Veeam Backup & Replication than the regular ones."

"I enjoy the ability to quickly search for VMs through the Veeam console."

"In terms of most valuable features, we are mostly using the Cloud Connect feature. It is flexible because you can use it on-prem and on cloud."

"Veeam Backup Replication has good performance and can do location-to-location backups. Additionally, it is user-friendly and easy to manage."

"It is a stable product with useful snapshot and replication features."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks."

"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."

"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."

"We would always support better pricing."

"The solution's reporting feature could be better."

"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."

"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."

"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"They can add some production backup capabilities and the ability to do single instance back up. At the moment, it doesn't do deduplication on the standard backup. So, the issue is backing up PSG files for customers who have limited bandwidth. The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup. We do use SQL ourselves using a PowerShell script with the VDA tools as a module. That's how we back up. The rotation feature would be nice to have, but I know that they've got it on their dashboard or on their list to look at. They can also do a few tweaks to the dashboard. I would like the reporting capabilities on the portal to be much more granular. Normally, I export it to a text file, and then I run it through a pivot table in order to look at it from a cost-recovery point of view and to see when the backup last ran and if it was successful when it ran two or three days ago. Such a feature would work really well for my market. They can also add a cost-effective backup for Android and Apple cellphones. I've had one or two customers who were looking for this feature. I haven't found this functionality at the moment. I've been looking for a product that does that."

"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."

"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."

"The solution's pricing is very high."

"The product could be more user-friendly."

"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."

"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."

"There are some things that we don't like about it. That is why I was exploring alternatives in a hyper-scale environment. That is why I was checking IT Central Station."

More MSP360 Backup cons

"The product must be able to perform different types of backups."

"I would like to see the licensing model improved. They have recently changed the model and have made it more complicated."

"We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."

"Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."

"I feel that the product's support team needs improvement."

"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."

"Occasionally, in the course of upgrading one's virtualization platform, the backup can be ruined."

"The product must improve its performance."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."

"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."

"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."

"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."

"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."

"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."

"The price is reasonable."

"I like the pricing, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. "

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"Its pricing needs improvement."

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."

"We have a very good return on investment."

"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."

"The solution is expensive."

"It includes a standard licensing fee. Once a year, there is a rebranding fee. The licensing costs are available on the internet for MSP360 Backup. There is a discount structure where if you have over 50 devices, you get a 50% discount. So, my cost is $2 a license per month."

More MSP360 Backup pricing and cost advice

"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."

"The solution provides flexible licensing options."

"The price is pretty cheap for our market."

"The product is expensive."

"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."

"I find the pricing to be okay."

"Its price is reasonable for a big company or a big client. It is not too much. It is cheaper than VMware."

"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable. It is not inexpensive nor is it expensive, it is in the middle range compared to other solutions. There can be additional costs for addons."
