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

"Every user of IT infrastructure needs to have a backup, and this is a good solution to implement because it is so easy and straightforward."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"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."
"I liked the way the product worked, its flexibility on the storage and cost, and the way it was supported."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"The solution saved time and money."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The solution is very simple, and management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"This solution has improved my organization because if someone accidentally deletes or corrupts something, we have multiple sources to restore them."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"It is very good, and it fits the purpose."
"We are very satisfied with Veeam's technical support."
 

Cons

"The product could be more user-friendly."
"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 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."
"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 other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."
"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."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"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."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"It could use deduplication features."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"Technical support could be improved."
"I rate Veeam Agent for Linus six out of 10."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"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."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."
"Price-wise it's good."
"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."
"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."
