We performed a comparison between Azure Site Recovery and MSP360 Backup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"What I love about Azure Site Recovery is its simplicity for basic configurations."
"Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"We use the solution across hospitality and healthcare domains. We use it for custom development. It helps us develop a seamless omnichannel for the healthcare industry."
"It is a very stable product and very scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of what is happening with our business as well as the good reporting and dashboards."
"Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."
"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."
"Technical support is very good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has has been successfully backed up and what not. I do not mean the file or folder view, because that's problematic with GDPR, but I mean which machines have successfully backed up. It's very valuable because you don't have to check the machines. The second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."
"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."
"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."
"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."
"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"
"It would be good if we could replicate the solution to multiple locations simultaneously because we are currently allowed to replicate to just a single location."
"The tool should improve synchronization."
"The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."
"In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement."
"Site Recovery's scalability could be improved."
"The immutable backup could be better."
"Could have more integration with other platforms."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."
"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."
"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."
"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 main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point. They say they are GDPR compliant, but they are not."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
