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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."

"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."

"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."

"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."

"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"

"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."

"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."

More MSP360 Backup pros

"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."

"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."

"I like the incremental backups and their failover."

"The user interface is good."

"It's simple to use."

"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."

"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."

More Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] pros

Cons

"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 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 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 graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."

"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."

"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.""

"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."

"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."

More MSP360 Backup cons

"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."

"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."

"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."

"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."

"It could use deduplication features."

"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."

"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."

"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."

"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."

"We have a very good return on investment."

"Its pricing needs improvement."

"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 solution is expensive."

More MSP360 Backup pricing and cost advice

"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."

"The costing is very competitive."

"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."

"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."

"Price-wise it's good."

"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."

"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."

"Licensing costs are monthly."
