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

"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."
"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."
"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."
"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."
"The UI is pretty good; it's very simple and very user-friendly."
"The whole replication aspect of the solution is excellent because it compresses the data so well."
"The instant VM recovery feature is the most valuable; it is a very good tool for disaster recovery and is also easy to manage."
"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."
"This solution is very flexible and user-friendly — it's very good, and it's very good with our virtual and physical infrastructure."
"It has been useful for monitoring, troubleshooting, and assessing our environment, as well as for investigating bottlenecks."
"It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days."
"Regarding the initial setup and configuration, I find it straightforward and it should not be more simplified because users are able to back up most environments within minutes."
"I think Veeam ONE is great as it is, it does everything I need."
 

Cons

"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 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 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 solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now."
"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 interface could use some updating."
"The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."
"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 of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is a very good product, but there's room for improvement."
"The backup jobs and the scheduled tuning are not as convenient as compared to a solution such as Data Protector."
"They could improve the product's response times for technical support and enhance support for newer hypervisors."
"Physical backup is always where room for improvement could be but Veeam has always stated they are not going in that direction."
"We'd like to see them add more custom templates."
"The challenge for us is to have resources up to date so that our skills and technical knowledge are up-to-date."
"They need to address the confusing recovery dialogue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"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."
"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"The solution is expensive."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side."
"We pay on an annual basis. We pay roughly $12,000 for our software subscription."
"The price is affordable."
"The license cost is per socket, per processor. We can have one license with two processors and we can cover everything inside of the test environment that we have."
"Veeam products are less expensive than other products. The licensing costs are low and they're pretty affordable."
"The subscription-based pricing of Veeam Backup Replication is competitive."
"On a one to ten scale, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as a five out of ten."
"Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
