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.

Backup management excels with user-friendly interface and effective deduplication, offering robust data protection
Leveraging AI in Veritas NetBackup Appliance is one of the road maps now that they have done a collaboration with Cohesity, which is a feature I'm looking forward to. Using AI is one improvement I recommend for the Veritas NetBackup Appliance. They have implemented some aspects of AI for features such as malware detection and anomaly detection. I believe they can do more to give customers more insight into their data, allowing them to see it and understand what they can do, such as archiving old data. They can do more by utilizing the data effectively to provide insights to customers about their space usage, future projections, and options for managing old data.

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 solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"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."
"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."
"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."
"Technical support is very good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"We have good data backup coverage."
"I can confidently say that I have managed more than 30 or 50 appliances over different time periods, and yet I never had a single hardware failure."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used in many different kinds of systems."
"We find the pricing is reasonable."
"The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization."
"It is very capable of scaling and very good for heterogeneous environments."
"The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable."
"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."
 

Cons

"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"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."
"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."
"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"The product could be more user-friendly."
"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.""
"The solution could improve by providing more integration and security."
"The monitoring could be a bit better."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
"The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot."
"The product should provide more AI and ML features."
"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."
"Veritas NetBackup would benefit from better explained error codes."
"Customers say that the price for Veritas NetBackup Appliance is high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"The licenses are purchased on appliances with the capacity they require."
"Appliances do not come cheaply."
"The pricing for the solution's software maintenance and licensing is high."
"The licensing costs for this solution are very high."
"The price of this solution is very high compared to other solutions."
"The price of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is competitive. There are different models of Veritas NetBackup Appliance, such as perpetual licenses and subscriptions. Having the choice is good."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"I cannot say whether our licensing costs are on a monthly or annual basis, as we have a global contract."
