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 liked the way the product worked, its flexibility on the storage and cost, and the way it was supported."
"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."
"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."
"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 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 UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"We are very satisfied with Veeam's technical support."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"It is very good, and it fits the purpose."
"In one balanced solution, one single management pane, I can take care of everything, even my cloud infrastructure."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
 

Cons

"The solution's pricing is very high."
"The interface could use some updating."
"The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."
"The product could be more user-friendly."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"I rate Veeam Agent for Linus six out of 10."
"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."
"It could use deduplication features."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"The integration needs improvement. It should be easier for my admins."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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