Featured Reviews

CONRAD FORREST - PeerSpot reviewer
President at MTS Consulting Group, Inc.
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.
Sareesh V - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr.System Administrator at Suwaidi
The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups
When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

Pros

"Technical support is very good."

"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."

"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"You can back up the whole image."
"You can back up the whole image, not just files and folders, but the image from the server, and you can restore the whole image."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."

Cons

"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."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"The interface could use some updating."
"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."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"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."
"The product could be more user-friendly."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"This solution needs an easier interface that is more comprehensible. Also, sometimes we have issues with restoring images when we initialize the servers."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"It needs an easier interface."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."

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

"We have a very good return on investment."
"The solution is expensive."
"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
