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.

One of the cheapest products that also provides prompt support
It is fine if users want to use the product for a general purpose. If they want something with more options, they should choose other solutions. Veeam Agent for Linux has only basic features, and the configuration is not as good as other products. Veaam can create backups of the virtual environment, physical environment, and Office 365. You can also create backups to the cloud. There are many options. Overall, I rate the solution an eight 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

"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."
"Technical support is very good."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."
"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"It is scalable."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"The user interface is good."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"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 interface could use some updating."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"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 graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"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.""
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"It could use deduplication features."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"Price-wise it's good."
"The costing is very competitive."
"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."
