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

"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"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 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."
"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"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."
"This solution has improved my organization because if someone accidentally deletes or corrupts something, we have multiple sources to restore them."
"We've found the product to be very useful and has very good capabilities."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's 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."
"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 other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."
"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."
"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."
"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 graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"It could use deduplication features."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
 

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."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"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."
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"Price-wise it's good."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
