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 with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."
"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."
"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"There are many valuable features, for example how Copy Job is controlling the band with accelerators. The Enterprise Manager is a valuable feature. There are many very useful features. We can push in the market, because we have an advantage over the other solutions."
"Veeam Backup Replication's snapshotting and cloning are the most valuable features."
"While I do not recall whether the latest version is 10.0 or 11.0 I do know that it allows one to make a back up repository that is very scalable and simple."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good."
"One valuable feature of Veeam ONE for backup management is its dashboard, which offers a comprehensive view of backups and other essential data."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"Veeam One is a centralized management and centralized reporting tool. The tool has supportive infrastructure to create specialised applications and some server application. You can add all the resources and infrastructure. You will get the reports, can easily manage and monitor any feature."
 

Cons

"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."
"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"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."
"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 main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point. They say they are GDPR compliant, but they are not."
"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.""
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"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."
"The automation could be better."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
"It needs to support more applications. In terms of supported applications, Oracle SQL and Office 365 are supported, but I am not sure if it supports Linux-based applications. That's why I'm looking for an alternative. I am currently testing Commvault. The advantage of Commvault is that a lot of applications are supported with it. I am not sure if CIFS is currently supported. It would be nice to have this feature in case it is not already supported"
"Veeam Backup & Replication could improve by making it more user-friendly."
"Veeam ONE should make available notifications through SMS."
"The ease of use could be improved, but I don't have a very deep amount of experience in Veeam, so it's difficult to say what could be improved."
"Margins should not be distinct; instead, they should seamlessly integrate with the Veeam Backup and Replication tools, requiring minimal separation."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"The solution is expensive."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical."
"Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
"We pay for a license to use this solution, and we recommend that our customers pay for a license and a renewal license."
"The price is pretty cheap for our market."
"This solution requires a license and the organizations I was involved in were using an enterprise license."
"The tool is reasonably priced for the quality it provides."
"Veeam is more reasonably priced than some competing products."
"The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex. In particular, when mixing different requirements the licensing model is complex. For example, mixing a virtual machine backup and a file server backup in the same installation can be somewhat difficult and is expensive."
