CONRAD FORREST - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."
"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."
"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"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."
"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"
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"Improved performance of ETL procedures, reporting."
"It is a highly robust software solution."
"​We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features.​"
"The most valuable features are the large volume of data and the structuring of the data to optimize it and get very optimal data warehouse solutions for customers."
"The ease of deployment is useful so clients are up and running quickly in comparison to other products."
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
"There are several features of Teradata that I like. One of the most basic is the indexes. I also like that it provides lower TCO. It also has the optimizer feature which is a good feature and isn't found in other legacy systems. Parallelism is also another feature I like in Teradata because when you are running or hosting on multiple systems, you have this shared-nothing architecture that helps. Loading and unloading in Teradata are also really helpful compared to other systems."
"I found all parts --loading, transformation, processing & querying work in parallel, and end-to-end-- to be valuable."
 

Cons

"The solution's pricing is very high."
"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."
"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."
"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."
"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 product could be more user-friendly."
"From my perspective, it would be good if they gave better ITIN/R plugins to use the data for AI modeling, or data science modeling. We can do it now; however, it could be more elegant in terms of interfacing."
"The capability to implement it with comparable performance across various private cloud environments, ensuring adaptability to different infrastructure setups would be beneficial."
"Teradata is somewhat late in adopting cloud technology."
"The cost of Teradata Cloud Data Warehouse has room for improvement."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"Teradata is a bit late for the cloud."
"Apart from Control-M, it would be nice if it could integrate with other tools."
"Teradata could improve by being less complicated. There are some aspects that are not available on the Unix server and a Unix system is required to access some data, such as in case of an emergency."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"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."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"The solution is expensive."
"The cost is substantial, totaling around $1.2 million, solely dedicated to upgrading the hardware."
"Teradata is expensive, so it's typically marketed to big customers. However, there have been some changes, and Teradata is now offering more flexible pricing models and equipment leasing. They've added pay-as-you-go and cloud models, so it's changing, but Teradata is generally known as an expensive high-end product."
"The cost of running Teradata is quite high, but you get a good return on investment."
"The cost is significantly high."
"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."
"The price of the solution could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Teradata is not cheap, but you get what you pay for."
"It's a very expensive product."
