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.

Reliable and issue-free with a helpful onboarding wizard
The solution has been installed on Linux machines.  The solution is issue-free. We are happy with it.  The solution has been stable and reliable.  It is scalable.  My understanding the setup is pretty straightforward and that the onboarding wizard is pretty easy to follow.  I've never had to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Supports peer-to-peer backup using Minio, which has allowed us to easily pre-seed and maintain an off-site backup within driving distance, making tactical recovery of accidental file deletions easy."
"The UI is pretty good; it's very simple and very user-friendly."
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"Technical support is very good."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its online backup capacity because you don't have to do an entire backup again and again, it just does whatever you type in, you type a, it goes a, you type b, it goes b."
"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"It's simple to use."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"We've found the product to be very useful and has very good capabilities."
"Veeam Agent for Linux is highly stable; we have not had any issues."
"The technical support is good."
 

Cons

"The solution's pricing is very high."
"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."
"As for what can be improved, some reports could be simplified so that you know how much backup you have done and what your backup details are."
"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point."
"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now. They could give it a little more modern feel."
"As for what can be improved, some reports could be simplified so that you know how much backup you have done and what your backup details are. That report is available but it is very tough to get. I would like to know "today I have just uploaded 35 MB, tomorrow I have loaded 10 MB so my trend of backup is increasing.""
"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."
"The interface could use some updating."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing needs improvement."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"The solution is expensive."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
"Price-wise it's good."
"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."
"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."
