President at MTS Consulting Group, Inc.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."

"One massive advantage of this solution, as compared to more enterprise products, is that no firewall changes are needed on the client's premises. For the product to back up from the client's premise to the cloud, it just needs port 8 and port 443, which are anyway always open. This was one of the things that made us decide to go with the product. It is very difficult to justify a firewall change for a small client who doesn't even know what a firewall is and how to maintain a firewall, or doesn't have anybody maintaining their firewall. You then have to maintain the firewall. MSP360 Backup takes away firewall change requirements, VPNs, or channels that are needed for the backup."

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."

"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."

"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."

"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."

"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."

More MSP360 Backup pros

"The solution saved time and money."

"In one balanced solution, one single management pane, I can take care of everything, even my cloud infrastructure."

"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 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."

"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."

"Veeam Agent for Linux is highly stable; we have not had any issues."

"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 most valuable feature is the instant restore option."

More Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] pros

Cons

"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."

"They can add some production backup capabilities and the ability to do single instance back up. At the moment, it doesn't do deduplication on the standard backup. So, the issue is backing up PSG files for customers who have limited bandwidth. The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup. We do use SQL ourselves using a PowerShell script with the VDA tools as a module. That's how we back up. The rotation feature would be nice to have, but I know that they've got it on their dashboard or on their list to look at. They can also do a few tweaks to the dashboard. I would like the reporting capabilities on the portal to be much more granular. Normally, I export it to a text file, and then I run it through a pivot table in order to look at it from a cost-recovery point of view and to see when the backup last ran and if it was successful when it ran two or three days ago. Such a feature would work really well for my market. They can also add a cost-effective backup for Android and Apple cellphones. I've had one or two customers who were looking for this feature. I haven't found this functionality at the moment. I've been looking for a product that does that."

"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."

"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 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."

More MSP360 Backup cons

"Technical support is okay. They could be more customer-friendly."

"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."

"There are some roadblocks with the licensing. Right now we are dealing with an issue because we cannot merge licenses."

"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."

"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."

"The integration needs improvement. It should be easier for my admins."

"I rate Veeam Agent for Linus six out of 10."

"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing needs improvement."

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."

"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."

"We have a very good return on investment."

"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."

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."

More MSP360 Backup pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

"Price-wise it's good."

"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."

"The costing is very competitive."

"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
