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.

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

"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."
"The UI is pretty good; it's very simple and very user-friendly."
"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."
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"I liked the way the product worked, its flexibility on the storage and cost, and the way it was supported."
"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"
"This is absolutely a product that I recommend."
"This is a good solution for the virtual environment; it's easy to use with a simple restore feature."
"Veeam is easy to use."
"After we started using Veeam, we transferred all our 30 virtual servers in seven hours to our disaster recovery side."
"I cannot speak highly enough of this product."
"I would mostly recommend this product because it's easy to use and it is easy to install."
"The most valuable features I have found to be Instant Recovery, quick restore and rollback, and asynchronous copy. It is a complete solution for our needs."
"It's fairly easy to manage and set up."
 

Cons

"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now."
"The interface could use some updating."
"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 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."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"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."
"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"Veeam needs to have more support for non-Windows systems and other databases."
"Some of the best practice documentation could be improved."
"As with any product things can break down."
"The tech support needs improvement."
"Besides Wintel environments, it would be good to have DR/HA for Unix/Linux platforms."
"No integration with vsphere client"
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
"Backup compression. It has got better but still could improve somewhat."
 

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."
"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"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."
"Veeam is more reasonably priced than some competing products."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price of this product is very good."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the price a five."
"The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM solution."
"It is more cost-effective than some of the other solutions, but a lot of that comes down to the fact that we're a reseller. So, depending upon the deal, we do negotiate different price points for different customers. The price varies depending upon the size of the customer, the size of the deal, and the discounts we can negotiate."
"My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point."
"Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
