CONRAD FORREST - PeerSpot reviewer
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 rollback features for smooth IT operations and an easy setup
We are using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to take backups of shop floor PCs. I use it for clients locally, particularly for critical machines. It is also used globally for server-side backups and includes scheduling features like taking ten backups every Sunday when the factory is closed. This…

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 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 initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"Technical support is very good."
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"
"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."
"Veeam Backup gives you the option to backup your data from the cloud to on-premises."
"It is easy to use and easy to recover files."
"It's user-friendly, especially for taking incremental backups."
"It is easy to set up. You can use some functions to make sure you get the maximum bandwidth to do the backup. It has an option to bypass Microsoft network limitations and things like that."
"It works well for our backup needs, and I would recommend it for Microsoft 365 due to its reliability."
"The setup is very simple. It takes 15 minutes."
"The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."
"Veeam makes modular solutions, so you can install Veeam Backup for Office 365 and Veeam Backup and Replication in one single server. You can do an all in one installation, and roll it out."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 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 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."
"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."
"The product could be more user-friendly."
"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"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.""
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by adding more features with Microsoft teams. We have many files that we are working on with Microsoft teams and there should be more integration and features."
"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."
"It needs to be able to integrate with other emailing systems, like Linux."
"If it could rebuild the data without pulling down the entire chunk, it would be an improvement."
"The solution needs to introduce more features."
"Microsoft currently saves only two months of conversation history, and it would be better if Veeam could focus on backing up more than two months of conversation data."
"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a very good return on investment."
"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."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"The pricing is expensive."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
