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.

Reliable and issue-free with a helpful onboarding wizard

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."

"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 simple to use and easy to configure."

"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 easy to access and handles things efficiently."

More MSP360 Backup pros

"It is scalable."

"The technical support is good."

"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."

"The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."

"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."

"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."

"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."

"It's simple to use."

Cons

"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 solution's pricing is very high."

"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 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."

"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."

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

"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.""

More MSP360 Backup cons

"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."

"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."

"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."

"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."

"They could be more customer-friendly."

"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."

"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."

"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."

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

"We have a very good return on investment."

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."

"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."

More MSP360 Backup pricing and cost advice

"Price-wise it's good."

"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."

"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."

"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."

"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."

"The costing is very competitive."

"Licensing costs are monthly."

"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
