Good backup solution but challenges with the stability

It is recommended that people know what they are starting with. A part of our challenge was we bought and needed to implement it. So by the time we went to implement it, we were running into support issues. Also, make a market comparison to ensure that the product you choose is what you want to end up with. I would give it a six out of ten because restoring from a backup takes longer than usual. It should happen in a matter of hours, not a matter of days. We are yet to have an experience when trying to restore from Acronis that we haven't had to wait at least a couple of days for our server to be available for testing or working.

CONRAD FORREST

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."

"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."

"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."

"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."

"This is a perfect option for an SMB."

"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."

"It is a very stable solution."

"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."

"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."

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

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

"Technical support is very good."

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

"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."

"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."

More MSP360 Backup pros

"Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance."

"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."

"The data backup replication has been the most useful feature. Previously, we copied the data hub to an external hard drive but now we are able to store the backup on one of the depository service."

"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."

"Its ease of use for restore is really good. For Exchange, the Exchange Active Directory is great."

"Veeam Backup Replication has good performance and can do location-to-location backups. Additionally, it is user-friendly and easy to manage."

"Veeam Backup Replication is stable I have not had any problems."

"It is a straightforward solution. There is no need for a dedicated technical person to do the backup and replication. Veeam is very straightforward when it comes to doing the replication."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."

"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."

"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."

"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."

"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."

"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."

"There are some limitations to the backup."

"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

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

"The product could be more user-friendly."

"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 solution's pricing is very high."

"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."

"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."

"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.""

More MSP360 Backup cons

"I would like the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware."

"The only improvement I could think of is it could be cheaper—cheaper is always good. Sometimes the product is just finished. Cheaper is always nice for the customer, but the company needs to benefit so that they can keep maintaining the product. New Windows versions, etc., always take some work. At the moment, I wouldn't switch to another solution because of the money."

"The backup and integration could be improved."

"Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me."

"I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better."

"In terms of what could be improved, when creating a backup job with Veeam, you can create a daily backup, but it doesn't do it within that job. It does not give you the ability to also set the terms for monthly and/or weekly backups. It has to be a separate job. It gets clunky to manage the timeframes where you don't want a daily to run on this day and creating weeklies. And you don't want a daily to run on this day doing monthlies. That is hard to deal with. It would be really nice if you could do it through a single command line or a single interface."

"They need to support more platforms."

"There's a lot of room for improvement surrounding the backup process."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."

"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."

"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."

"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."

"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"The solution is expensive."

"Its pricing needs improvement."

"We have a very good return on investment."

"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."

"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."

More MSP360 Backup pricing and cost advice

"We purchase a license annually."

"The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."

"My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point."

"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."

"They could work at providing a better price."

"The pricing of the solution could be reduced."

"For now, I think the pricing of Veeam ONE is quite okay for any of the infrastructures, especially for those who want a backup system and a tool that provides monitoring services."

"The price is a bit high. Licensing type is VMware friendly, so it is easy."
