CONRAD FORREST - PeerSpot reviewer

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 most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has been successfully backed up and what has not, which is very valuable because you don't have to check the machines, and the second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."
"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"The solution saved time and money."
"The initial setup was straightforward; it's not complicated and takes around half an hour to implement, depending on the performance of the server where you are installing the backup software."
"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."
"We've found the product to be very useful and has very good capabilities."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."
"It's simple to use."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward."
 

Cons

"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.""
"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."
"If I have an incident and I need to restore something very fast, I want to restore a particular virtual machine, maybe in an hour and that is not possible to do with MSP360."
"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 graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"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 isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products."
"The integration needs improvement."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side."
"Their technical support could be better. I will often find a solution to a problem before they get back to me."
"There are some roadblocks with the licensing. Right now we are dealing with an issue because we cannot merge licenses."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"I rate Veeam Agent for Linus six out of 10."
"Technical support is okay. They could be more customer-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"The costing is very competitive."
"Price-wise it's good."
"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."
"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."
"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."
