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

"I liked the way the product worked, its flexibility on the storage and cost, and the way it was supported."
"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. It doesn't take an entire site up again and again. So that incremental and bit by bit backup is important, it is a nice feature here."
"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."
"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."
"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"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."
"We are very satisfied with Veeam's technical support."
"Veeam Agent for Linux is highly stable; we have not had any issues."
"I would advise others to go ahead and implement it; this is a good solution for disaster recovery, easy to implement and operate, and very fast at recovering the entire environment."
"The user interface is good."
"It's simple to use."
 

Cons

"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"The Linux GUI leaves a lot to be desired. It lacks many of the features of the Windows version and is buggy, but it is still usable."
"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."
"The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."
"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."
"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."
"The interface could use some updating."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"I rate Veeam Agent for Linus six out of 10."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side."
"It could use deduplication features."
"Their technical support could be better. I will often find a solution to a problem before they get back to me."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"The solution is expensive."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"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."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"The costing is very competitive."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"Price-wise it's good."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."
"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."
