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.

Seamless backups have transformed data protection and now safeguard critical workloads
The best features Veeam Backup for AWS offers are that it is fast and reliable, easy to use, creates image backups of PostgreSQL, allows upgrading full functions using the AWS plugin package, and enables using a single console to manage data protection and recovery. Veeam Backup for AWS has positively impacted my organization by solving the challenges of managing backup in complex AWS environments. Its features such as data deduplication and compression offered at a good price are very cost-effective. Backups are also very powerful and easy when using Veeam Backup for AWS software. Since using Veeam Backup for AWS, I have seen specific outcomes such as reduced downtime and data loss by 80% from 60%, along with compliance and risk mitigation and cost savings since it is very easy and cost-effective.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"The solution is appliance-free, the initial setup is very straightforward, the scalability and stability have never been a problem for us, technical support is very good, and we have found the price point to be quite good."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"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."
"Technical support is very good."
"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."
"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."
"Veeam Backup for AWS has reduced many risks for my organization because in a difficult moment, if I need to restore my backup, I have access to a backup outside my environment and I can restore this backup to another AWS account; this is how I manage risk."
"One of the basic improvements we have experienced with Veeam Backup for AWS is a significant reduction in recovery time during testing and during a live incident."
"In my opinion, the best features of Veeam Backup for AWS include that Veeam Backup VDA is best for EC2 instance snapshots, as it allows you to achieve compression in a better way and you don't need to save anything elsewhere or need an additional S3 bucket because it is going to use your account-level backup vaults."
"Veeam Backup for AWS has been a reliable and effective solution for our environment, helping us improve backup automation, reduce downtime, and increase confidence in our recovery process while delivering strong value for organizations running workloads in AWS."
"Veeam Backup for AWS has been a game changer for our organization."
"Veeam Backup for AWS has been a game changer for my organization."
"Veeam Backup for AWS has valuable features such as easy management and installation."
"The best features Veeam Backup for AWS offers are speed and its ease of use."
 

Cons

"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 product could be more user-friendly."
"The interface feels like it is targeted for end users who typically are looking for an all-in-one integrated push button solution. It would be better if the interface had a beginner mode and an expert mode."
"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."
"If I have an incident and I need to restore something very fast, I want to restore a particular virtual machine, maybe in an hour and that is not possible to do with MSP360."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."
"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."
"People must be aware of the costs associated with Veeam Backup for AWS and try to manage them. Be aware of it because this is a sudden cost and a surprising cost - what I would say is a hidden cost."
"There is room for improvement in Veeam Backup for AWS regarding its pricing. There are alternative solutions available at a lower price."
"Veeam Backup for AWS should provide a hybrid solution, and the user interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"We face minimal challenges during deployment, but sometimes issues arise during upgrades; however, we usually find solutions quickly."
"Overall, Veeam Backup for AWS works well, but there are a few areas where I think it could be improved."
"I believe that Veeam Backup for AWS could be improved by addressing the lack of a hybrid solution and enhancing the user interface to be more user-friendly, as the initial setup was somewhat complex, especially for less tech-savvy users."
"We also need faster response time for high technical issues in case of support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"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."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
