Enabling efficient management with quick deployment and cost-effective solutions while needing improved support
I assess the value of Arcserve Backup's integration with multiple operating systems to be effective only for deploying the agent, as we deploy the agent and take the backup from the backup server only. I face no issues in terms of integration with Arcserve Backup. I do use Arcserve Backup's deduplication and compression features. These features help optimize storage resources by erasing duplicate data from the storage, so if we have two or three TB storage, it will take backup around three to four months. Regarding the disaster recovery feature of Arcserve Backup, we only do a simple one server disaster recovery feature. In terms of hybrid deployment scenarios, we have mostly done this in a Windows environment, with a small amount done in Linux. On a scale from one to ten, I rate Arcserve Backup a nine.

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

"Arcserve Backup positively impacts the organization by providing a simple managed backup solution that is not complex, making it easy to manage and configure; that is the best feature I can describe."
"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."
"I liked the way the product worked, its flexibility on the storage and cost, and the way it was supported."
"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."
"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."
"Technical support is very good."
 

Cons

"I have noticed that support needs to improve in Arcserve Backup."
"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.""
"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."
"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 restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."
"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."
"The product could be more user-friendly."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a very good return on investment."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."

"Its pricing needs improvement."
