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

"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"
"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."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"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 initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."
"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward."
"Veeam Agent for Linux is highly stable; we have not had any issues."
"We are very satisfied with Veeam's technical support."
"It's simple to use."
"The user interface is good."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
 

Cons

"The interface could use some updating."
"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 solution's pricing is very high."
"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 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 graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"The product could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side."
"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."
"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."
"Their technical support could be better. I will often find a solution to a problem before they get back to me."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"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."
 

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."
"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"The solution is expensive."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"The costing is very competitive."
"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."
"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."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"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."
