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.

Integrated backups and orchestration have protected critical workloads with zero downtime
Pricing is always a consideration because nowadays the price has increased a lot. We bought our system five years ago and we paid in advance, so we are not yet affected by the price increase. However, we are planning to buy another solution in the very near future because the old one is now phasing out. We are planning to buy a replacement of the existing infrastructure and we are facing a lot of cost issues because they increased the price. Previously it was per socket. Now they moved to per core with many other restrictions. Our experience over the last five years has been very positive, but nowadays we find that Nutanix support is degraded. They started reducing their support. Their new functionality is not as stable. Nutanix has added Kubernetes cluster creation, segmentation, and micro-segmentation. Even their support people are not fully knowledgeable. Their support people are trained for VM-based systems, but now their own internal services are running using Kubernetes and containerization. Their support staff does not have enough knowledge to provide proper support. This may be a transition period where a lot of new functionality has been added and the support staff is not yet well acquainted with it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"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."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."
"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."
"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."
"Every user of IT infrastructure needs to have a backup, and this is a good solution to implement because it is so easy and straightforward."
"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. It doesn't take an entire site up again and again. So that incremental and bit by bit backup is important, it is a nice feature here."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"The initial setup of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is straightforward and easy."
"For the last five years, we have had zero downtime."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the local storage solution, which significantly boosts performance, especially when transitioning from traditional architecture."
"The product is very simple and very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the reliability and scalability of being able to swing our workloads across the country."
"The main benefits I've seen from using Nutanix Disaster Recovery include its single platform, which is significantly better than VMware, offering improved security, scalability, and multiple communication options."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery can be used for snapshots, backup, and disaster recovery."
 

Cons

"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.""
"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."
"The other issue is that I don't like the implementation of the SQL backup."
"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."
"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."
"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."
"The dashboard could be a bit refreshed, and some configuration parts could be less confusing."
"The solution should include a standard license for the object level and file level."
"The product must allow users to create a production domain on the main site in one hypervisor and a backup site on another."
"The solution's bandwidth utilization can be improved further."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"The major issue with Nutanix is its appliance-based model, which can lead to vendor lock-in."
"Nowadays we find that Nutanix support is degraded. They started reducing their support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"The solution is expensive."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"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."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."
"The solution’s pricing is good."
