Featured Reviews

CONRAD FORREST - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."
"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"
"Supports peer-to-peer backup using Minio, which has allowed us to easily pre-seed and maintain an off-site backup within driving distance, making tactical recovery of accidental file deletions easy."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."
"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."
"I was mainly concerned with cloud backups, OneDrive backups, consumer OneDrive, business OneDrive, Google backups, and SharePoint backups. The solution did a good job of the backup."
"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"If you have your VMware virtualization, then Veeam Backup is the best option out there to back up that kind of environment."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
"Replication is most valuable."
"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to make use of an appliance to use as a staging disk to allow us to make fast recoveries directly from the bridge, helping us avoid using the communication links."
"I am not a direct user of this product, but my technical guys tell me that they like the product, and it is easy to use, and we don't have any issues with it."
"Veeam is easier, and it's reassuring."
"I've been using it for a number of years and the bottom line is — it works very well and is simple to use."
 

Cons

"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."
"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."
"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."
"The interface could use some updating."
"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."
"The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."
"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"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."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
"The pricing is very high."
"The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite."
"No issues as such with stability and scalability, but from the deployment perspective, we expect it to support a hybrid environment - multiple-edition deployment within one single Veeam Backup Server instance."
"The pricing is high. It's not the cheapest on the market."
"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
"I would like to see improvements in the GUI and in navigation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"The price is quite competitive compared to other products in my region."
"Pricing is not the cheapest, but you get a lot of value for your money."
"The price is a bit high. Licensing type is VMware friendly, so it is easy."
"Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."
"The licenses are code-based or server-based for Veeam ONE. The last version is 12, and it is host-based, I don't like to move to a code-based solution."
"It is approximately $4,000 to $5,000 for the purchase of the product and I paid an additional $2,000 for the renewal."
"Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing."
"We pay for the license of Veeam Backup Replication on an annual basis. The cost of the license is approximately 70,000 rials. The support and maintenance are included in the price."
