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

"The UI is pretty good; it's very simple and very user-friendly."
"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has been successfully backed up and what has not, which is very valuable because you don't have to check the machines, and the second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."
"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."
"The solution is appliance-free, the initial setup is very straightforward, the scalability and stability have never been a problem for us, technical support is very good, and we have found the price point to be quite good."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."
"The encryption password is used to protect the backup files. Even if someone gains access to the backup job or files, they won't be able to utilize them without the password."
"I enjoy the ability to quickly search for VMs through the Veeam console."
"Ease of VM and File Restores. The ability to restore an entire VM and guest OS files is invaluable."
"VM backup and ease of use are the most valuable features."
"It's fairly easy to manage and set up."
"The interface is user-friendly; it's easy to deploy and easy to manage."
"The most valuable features are the notifications, which give us failure alerts for some infrastructure within the backup, and the reporting is excellent."
 

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."
"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."
"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now."
"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing."
"Being able to Backup from Cloud Services like Azure Better Logging to assist you in determining root causes of failures Better Traffic Throttle Monitoring"
"Licensing cost model/ Faster data transfer rates from SSD Drive Datastores and Faster cancellation of a Job if done, sometimes you need to reboot your Veeam server because the job is stuck upon cancelling, this is all I can think of."
"They need to focus more on cloud backup."
"If you have a simple environment, Veeam is useful, but when it comes to scalability and you have a more complex environment, it isn't a good solution for advanced customers that want business continuity or have more complex data centers."
"We would like the ability to backup physical servers."
"Near-synchronous, better RPO and RTO snapshot-based takes a lot of space and resources."
"Veeam has more features than we actually use, for example, the virtual labs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"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."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."
"I would suggest to others that they buy the full license when purchasing this solution."
"The price is a bit high."
"The license is a bit expensive."
"We have a yearly perpetual license."
"The product is competitively priced."
"Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."
"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is high and that is why I am choosing an alternative."
