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 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."
"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"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 liked the way the product worked, its flexibility on the storage and cost, and the way it was supported."
"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"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 best features Veeam Backup for AWS offers in my experience are reliability and security."
"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."
"If you are looking for a solution to back up your AWS instances, then you should try Veeam Backup for AWS, as you will not be disappointed."
"My experience shows that with traditional manual AWS recovery, such as a snapshot plus rebuild, the time is 30 to 120 minutes, while with Veeam Backup for AWS-based recovery an EC2 restore is within 5 to 10 minutes, an EBS volume restore is in minutes, and an RDS point-in-time recovery is in 10 to 30 minutes, giving 50% to 80% faster recovery compared to traditional manual AWS recovery."
"The best features Veeam Backup for AWS offers are speed and its ease of use."
"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."
"Veeam Backup for AWS is a very good tool, and I consider it the number one tool in the market for backing up to AWS."
"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."
 

Cons

"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point. They say they are GDPR compliant, but they are not."
"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."
"The interface could use some updating."
"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.""
"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."
"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"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."
"Overall, Veeam Backup for AWS works well, but there are a few areas where I think it could be improved."
"Veeam Backup for AWS can be improved in some areas. Speed for very large EC2 and RDS environments with Veeam Backup for AWS could be improved, such as better parallel recovery for multi-terabyte databases."
"There is room for improvement in Veeam Backup for AWS regarding its pricing. There are alternative solutions available at a lower price."
"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."
"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."
"We also need faster response time for high technical issues in case of support."

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"The solution is expensive."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
