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.

Continuous replication and backup simplify customer service across enterprises of any size
Veeam Data Platform provides me with the most useful features such as application restore, single file restore, backup and replication, and continuous replication. We utilize these features for management and the customers we serve. Veeam Data Platform provides features such as immutability and ransomware protection. While we use other applications for ransomware protection, we rely on Veeam Data Platform for encryption.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"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."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."
"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."
"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to verify that backups are valid."
"This is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are efficient backup and replication, and it supports all products and vendors."
"Recovering single emails from Exchange and single items from Active Directory."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"The technical support is very good and they are very responsive."
"Integration with various applications, such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups, as well as applications and databases, is excellent."
"Very flexible, all-in-one solution."
 

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."
"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."
"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."
"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."
"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 graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."
"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."
"The essentials bundle is great value for money if you have storage from NetApp or HP, but you really have to make sure you will not reach the limits in the near future."
"Tape support is there, but needs improvement."
"There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it."
"You may not be able to fully get rid of your regular backup software if you have physical servers or specialized applications that required specific plugins that Veeam does not support."
"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."
"The downside is when you need to backup physical servers as usually most organizations aren't running a 100% virtualized environment so that can be an issue."
""Veeam Vpower Technology" is the area of this product that is open for improvement."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a very good return on investment."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"The solution is expensive."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"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 Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."
"The product is competitively priced."
"The product is not that expensive."
"For what it does, the price is acceptable."
"Veeam Backup Replication can be quite expensive for Office 365 because its license is per user and not for the space that you use. You need one license for each user. If the user only uses a few files on one hard drive, you need a license to back up these files. It was better to have a license model, such as in the Cohesity solution. Cohesity has a license for a space that you use. It's more useful in this case because the license for backup data is on-premises is for CPU. The license is based on how many CPUs you have but it does not depend on how many users use the CPU."
"They could work at providing a better price."
"Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing."
"The cost is expensive. It will depend on how you are managing your environment, your requirements, and if you can easily manage a license. It's not that difficult, so you can manage it, but the cost is high, so you need to check directly with Veeam as well as the local partner so you can get the discount prices."
