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

"The UI is pretty good; it's very simple and very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"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."
"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."
"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."
"In one balanced solution, one single management pane, I can take care of everything, even my cloud infrastructure."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"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."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
 

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. 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.""
"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 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 solution's pricing is very high."
"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."
"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 main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"The integration needs improvement."
"At the moment, this solution is not good enough."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"The integration needs improvement. It should be easier for my admins."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products."
"It could use deduplication features."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"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."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The costing is very competitive."
"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."
"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."
