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

"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."
"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."
"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is appliance-free, the initial setup is very straightforward, the scalability and stability have never been a problem for us, technical support is very good, and we have found the price point to be quite good."
"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"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 has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"The user interface is good."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"Veeam Agent for Linux works like a charm and after-sales support is amazing, so I can only say that the product is very new."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"It is very good, and it fits the purpose."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward."
 

Cons

"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 main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point. They say they are GDPR compliant, but they are not."
"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."
"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."
"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."
"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"The integration needs improvement. It should be easier for my admins."
"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."
"At the moment, this solution is not good enough."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"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."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"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."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"Price-wise it's good."
"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."
"The costing is very competitive."
