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

"Technical support is very good."
"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."
"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 UI is pretty good; it's very simple and very user-friendly."
"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."
"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."
"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"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."
"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 Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"This solution has improved my organization because if someone accidentally deletes or corrupts something, we have multiple sources to restore them."
"Veeam Agent for Linux is highly stable; we have not had any issues."
"It's stable and reliable."
 

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.""
"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now. They could give it a little more modern feel."
"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."
"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 solution's pricing is very high."
"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."
"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."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"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."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions."
"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."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"There are some roadblocks with the licensing. Right now we are dealing with an issue because we cannot merge licenses."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"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."
"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."
"The costing is very competitive."
"Price-wise it's good."
"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."
