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.

A decently stable tool that ensures a high return on investment for its users

Precisely Assure MIMIX has improved our organization's disaster recovery efforts since my company has multiple LPARs. Precisely Assure MIMIX has around 45 LPARs for the database recovery, and I have one site-to-site replication for one of the servers in our environment, which is really good. The failover process of Precisely Assure MIMIX has enhanced our company's business continuity planning, considering that we have been testing the failover test area once a year and found out that the area revolving around recovery is good. When I was having a discussion on one of the online forums meant for Precisely Assure MIMIX around five years ago, which was even before the LAKEVIEW stuff was introduced by Precisely. Through the online forum, the team of Precisely Assure MIMIX helped my company deal with the area related to ServiceNow integration. I have never faced a scenario where Precisely Assure MIMIX prevented data loss during an unexpected outage in our company. I would ask those who plan to use the product to evaluate their own environment before purchasing Precisely Assure MIMIX. I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."

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

"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."

"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."

"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."

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

More MSP360 Backup pros

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward and simple."

"Database replication is most valuable. It is multi-platform, so it can replicate from a variety of different database types to a variety of different database types."

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 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."

"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."

"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."

"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."

"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."

"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."

More MSP360 Backup cons

"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"It does data manipulation language (DML) replication, but it does not do data definition language (DDL) replication. In my opinion, it is a disadvantage. It would be nicer if it was able to do both DML and DDL. I'm not 100% certain of this, but it seems Oracle Golden Gate does both DML and DDL. MIMIX only does DML, and it would be very nice if they included DDL replication. This is one feature that would be very helpful to have."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Its pricing needs improvement."

"We have a very good return on investment."

"The solution is expensive."

"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."

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

More MSP360 Backup pricing and cost advice

"The licensing provides the access to support. I do know that there's an annual charge for being able to call into their support line and get a technical team from Precisely to assist with any issues we may have. I don't think there are any additional costs other than what we incur internally in terms of the infrastructure that we need to run and operate the product."

"The cost of the product is too high."
