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

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."
"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has has been successfully backed up and what not. I do not mean the file or folder view, because that's problematic with GDPR, but I mean which machines have successfully backed up. It's very valuable because you don't have to check the machines. The second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."
"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."
"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."
"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"Veeam Agent for Linux is highly stable; we have not had any issues."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"The solution saved time and money."
"I haven't explored all of what this solution has to offer as I have only been using it for four months, but so far it's good and I would recommend it."
"The technical support is good."
"In one balanced solution, one single management pane, I can take care of everything, even my cloud infrastructure."
 

Cons

"The interface could use some updating."
"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point."
"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point. They say they are GDPR compliant, but they are not."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"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's pricing is very high."
"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 solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now."
"Technical support could be improved."
"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."
"I rate Veeam Agent for Linus six out of 10."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"The integration needs improvement."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"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."
"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"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."
"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
"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."
"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."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
