Great Backup software for MSP or Small Business

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: My overall experience from the Onboarding Video Call to getting it all setup and running has been great. Any questions or issues have been taken care of quickly, and I can have the peace of mind that stuff is safe.

Pros:

We got this software as a solution for our MSP business. It has all of the features that you need backup client's equipment without breaking the bank.

Cons:

There are some parts to it that are confusing in the initial scheduling of the backups, but once you do it a few times it gets better.

Great backup good price

4.0 8 months ago

Comments: The support team has been great and will even schedule a zoom to help you sort out your issue, they keep adding features and functionality so it just keep getting better, I feel like there are better solutions on the market but not at the price point.

Pros:

Central cloud backup Server with options to and onsite backup servers too. Linux option for the backup server reduces our cost. No cost to run the backup server only cost per client device. Support for most types of storage. DAS, NAS, S3 and more.

Cons:

Restores can be slower then some competitors, no option to live mount the data found in some of the competition. Storage locking can be a challenge.

Review Cloud Web

3.0 8 months ago

Comments: Overall it's between OK and good. Hopefully there will be big updates to smooth out the ease-of-use.

Pros:

The pricing, the featureset and the scheduling of tasks.

Cons:

The Server back-end, sometimes there are weird errors backing up restored VM's, sometimes slow performance, no instant disaster recovery from the data.

Comet after a year.

4.0 9 months ago

Comments: So far, so good. It seems to be reliable for the most part. Would like some more in depth reporting and monitoring features, but for the price, it's been very good value.

Pros:

Quite easy to set up, inexpensive pricing.

Cons:

Need to be able to back up MS365 data without relying on a dedicated endpoint at the client end. We can't use it for MS365 backups without that feature and are using another backup tool for that side of backups.

Attractively priced backup solution for service providers

5.0 last year

Pros:

Product is very easy to use. Wasabi cloud storage is fast, cheap, and fully integrated, requiring zero setup. No issues installing on a wide variety of machines and OSes. Does not pester users; console provides comprehensive overview of status across clients and backup loads.

Cons:

No Google Workspace backup. Costs for backing up Microsoft 365 are out of line with otherwise very reasonable pricing for backup software. Would like to be able to support older versions of Windows Server, because we all have those old servers sitting around somewhere!There are some issues to beware of regarding multiple jobs backing up to a single repository. If a job doesn't complete, you could end up with a locked repository that keeps other jobs from running.
