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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I was mainly concerned with cloud backups, OneDrive backups, consumer OneDrive, business OneDrive, Google backups, and SharePoint backups. The solution did a good job of the backup."

"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."

"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."

"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."

"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"

More MSP360 Backup pros

"The user interface is good."

"The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."

"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."

"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."

"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."

"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."

"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."

"It's simple to use."

Cons

"The product could be more user-friendly."

"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."

"The interface feels like it is targeted for end users who typically are looking for an all-in-one integrated push button solution. It would be better if the interface had a beginner mode and an expert mode."

"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."

"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."

"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."

"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."

"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."

More MSP360 Backup cons

"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."

"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."

"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."

"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."

"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."

"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."

"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."

"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing needs improvement."

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."

"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."

"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."

"The solution is expensive."

"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."

More MSP360 Backup pricing and cost advice

"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."

"Licensing costs are monthly."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The costing is very competitive."

"Price-wise it's good."
