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 most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"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."
"I liked the way the product worked, its flexibility on the storage and cost, and the way it was supported."
"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."
"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."
"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"We are very satisfied with Veeam's technical support."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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."
"It is scalable."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
 

Cons

"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 restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"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 product could be more user-friendly."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support could be improved."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"At the moment, this solution is not good enough."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"There are some roadblocks with the licensing. Right now we are dealing with an issue because we cannot merge licenses."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"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."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"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."
"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."
"The costing is very competitive."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"Price-wise it's good."
"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."
