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.

One of the cheapest products that also provides prompt support
It is fine if users want to use the product for a general purpose. If they want something with more options, they should choose other solutions. Veeam Agent for Linux has only basic features, and the configuration is not as good as other products. Veaam can create backups of the virtual environment, physical environment, and Office 365. You can also create backups to the cloud. There are many options. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"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."
"Supports peer-to-peer backup using Minio, which has allowed us to easily pre-seed and maintain an off-site backup within driving distance, making tactical recovery of accidental file deletions easy."
"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."
"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."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"I would advise others to go ahead and implement it; this is a good solution for disaster recovery, easy to implement and operate, and very fast at recovering the entire environment."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"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 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."
 

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 interface could use some updating."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"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."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now."
"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"It could use deduplication features."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
 

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."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"The solution is expensive."
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"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."
"Price-wise it's good."
"The costing is very competitive."
"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."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
