Excellent option for nimble MSPs, pay only for what you use
Very satisfied, excellent price-value
PROSThey don't force you to pay upfront for storage, I use their Amazon S3 bucket and the license price is excellent for a nimble MSP (one man band) like myself.
CONSIt takes a bit to understand purchasing and applying licenses
Reason for choosing MSP360 Managed Backup

A great MSP backup solution
Excellent, it brought to me a real confidence in managing my backups, that I can respond quickly if there is any issues.
PROSIt allows all clients to be on one platform for easy management. I had multiple solutions before, frankenstack. Now all in one place, one bill, one view. Very NiceAlso they have multiple forms of backups, local, cloud, file, image, all of them I implement.
CONSAt this point I really do not have any cons. I have had good response from tech support when I had issues. They did change a backup type that I was using, which was not secure. The change made sense.
Reason for choosing MSP360 Managed Backup
Central management, great cost for me, and it kept the cost down for the customer.
Reasons for switching to MSP360 Managed Backup
left datto because of cost and limitations, I left ibackup because it was not centrally manageable. The central management solution did not save me anything, and in fact would have cost me more.

Do not use MSP360
Sometimes I can be a cheapskate. Sometimes being a cheapskate leads me to choose the wrong software. I made that mistake with MSP 360. I have it installed on many client devices and migrating to another software is going to cost me a lot of time. Someday I will find that time and I will be so glad to be off this platform.
PROSWhen I moved to MSP360 it was called Cloudberry Backup and it was not bad. They changed their name and pricing and made everything worse. So I guess the best thing about MSP360 is that it was not always as bad as it is now.
CONSThe web interface is terrible. It is very difficult to figure out how to navigate the interface to find backup history, restore data, even managing licenses is difficult. The only thing worse than their web interface is the new backup wizard. There are too many ways to mess it up and no easy way to clone configurations accoss multiple devices much less sites.

Helps me sleep at night
I have only needed help once during the installation process and tech support was fast and walked me though my confusion... It was much more simple install than I was thinking.
PROSIntegrating MSP360 into our workflow was a breeze. The timely alerts and very detailed reports are very helpful internally and with the clients.
CONSCould use a more modern web GUI and the work flow tends to jump around... better feature grouping would be great.
Reason for choosing MSP360 Managed Backup

Extremely customisable and reliable
We have been using it for 5+ years and would have stayed if it wasn't good enough for our clients. It's also great to be able to brand the installation client for a professional look.
PROSIt is very easy to use and offers a wide range of configuration options. Initial setup is quick and the costs are reasonable. It's also especially good to be able to pick multiple Cloud storage providers as well as having a local backup to NAS as an option.
CONSSome of the monitoring reports could be expanded upon, and also some of the Restore filters to enable to browse/search certain archived files could be improved.

Awesome Backup Software
Hands down the best backup software for the value and features offered.
CONSSome features are only available if you choose certain S3 providers. Like the immutable write features for example. It isn't really a problem if you know ahead of time.

Veeam wasn't the most friendly to setup and administration seemed a little bit confusing at times.

Set It and Forget It Backup
I use MSP360 backup on all of the PCs in the house and to backup one of my elderly relative's PC. I'm also about to set it up for my Father for his backups. I backup to Wasabi storage (highly recommended) for cheap, fast, reliable backups for my entire household!
PROSBasically once it's setup all I have to do is keep an eye on the email alerts for possible issues and it just works!
CONSIt does occasionally suffer from a few small bugs, but that's the beauty with MSP360; the support is awesome!
Reasons for switching to MSP360 Managed Backup
Wasn't happy with the move away from the personal edition and wanted more flexibility and better pricing.

Full featured product
It is a great product. The only overall thing I could suggest would be to make it a little more intuitive to use.
PROSIt has a lot of security features I didn't see in many other backup products. Suggested improvements are seen by the company and many times implemented into the product. You can see everything that has been suggested by other users and can vote and comment on them.
CONSIt is fairly complicated and took me a little while to learn. But once you learn how to get around it is easy.

The console was completely online so we didn't have to host anything. Plus security was more robust.

Mostly works, a few caveats
Works well enough for most things except immutability
PROSCheaply and reliably encrypts and ships backups to Amazon for long-term storage as an LTO tape alternative. Once setup, it's pretty set-and-forget.
CONSAutomation around the product is somewhat difficult (e.g., automating ad-hoc restores from Rundeck). Also, immutable storage is complicated when you have a simple use-case, such as needing to backup SQL database backup files like transaction logs. It's not just a toggle-switch.
Reason for choosing MSP360 Managed Backup

The perfect solution for critical desktops
Cost saving and fewer problems with critical desktop recovery and migration
PROSI've been using Cloudberry products since 2012, initially various versions of Cloudberry Explorer, plus Cloudberry Server Backup for a client's web and development servers. I started using Cloudberry Desktop Backup for myself a couple of years ago, and am now implementing it for a client. They have a situation with critical data being split between desktops and servers, and an older backup system for their servers, Cloudberry Desktop offers desktop backup at a lower cost than using the existing system's desktop agents, as well as independence more secure and predictable storage, all at a much lower cost than the various online systems, and control of your own data. Restoration is also much quicker, when needed. Finally there is no need for constant paid upgrades and eventual "this version is no longer supported" situations.
CONSRegarding the desktop backup, it would be nice to have a management facility to take care of multiple installations. The user profile backup is a little misleading, since one of the major subfolders of a profile must be selected - i.e - Documents, Desktop, Downloads. Many recruiters tend to save and edit resumes in the downloads directory. It would be nice to have an option for documents, downloads, and desktop in one shot.
Vendor Response
Hello and thanks for your review. >Regarding the desktop backup, it would be nice to have a management facility to take care of multiple installations. We have built a solution, specifically for these needs. It is called CloudBerry Managed Backup and will allow you to fully manage multiple installations.

One of the best backup product for SMB and IT providers
Very satisfied, have been using many backup products in past 20 years and now I am happy and satisfied user, re-seller and admin of MSP360 for almost 10 years and have no plans to switch to anything else. Quite a lot of times I use it to restore some files, which users deleted accidentally or overwrote unintentionally, and process of finding right version of the file is much, much easier than with many other products.
PROSWhat we like most is product being in affordable price range even for resale to lower budget end-users, while at the same time having all enterprise options and, as shown during years of use, enterprise reliability.
CONSIt is minor, but WEB user interface is a bit odd to me, as I was more used to some on-premises backup solutions. But it just needs some time to get used to, far beyond it being deal breaker.
Reason for choosing MSP360 Managed Backup
Price/performance ratio was the best in MSP360

Excellent backup software for saving to cloud and local. The only one I use for Windows.
I know my clients' data is being backed up reliably. I use Cloudberry Lab Backup for clients locally and with AWS S3/Glacier. My clients are home users and small businesses.
PROSThe gui is well-designed, there are plenty of options. The choice of cloud storage providers is huge. It's extremely reliable. I've used Cloudberry Lab Backup - free and paid - on clients' servers, desktops, laptops for years. Even when there was no free version the price was so reasonable, much more affordable than other backup programs. In combination with Cloudberry Explorer, you can't beat it. Unlike many other backup solutions, you can also save locally too. The best tool for Windows backup strategies.
CONSYou do have to be fairly technically proficient (which isn't necessarily bad for us tech providers since we have to make a living!) so it's unlikely a regular end user would be able to deal with it. I would like the free version to allow a bit more than 200GB - maybe 350GB - just so I don't worry that a client's backups would stop working since I'm not onsite IT. But the price for one desktop license is so reasonable that if I'm sure a client will need more I just buy one. I did try Cloudberry Lab Backup on the Mac and didn't like it as well as Arq, but that was a while ago. Really this is excellent software.

Long term (7+ years) MSP user
MSP360 (or Cloudberry as it was 7 years ago) is one of our longest vendor relationships and one I've never had to revisit. We rely on the product for peace of mind, and as head of the company I appreciate it as much as my engineers do. Anyone in IT for a decent period of time has felt the gut punch feeling from a server issue and having to recover data from backups, MSP 360 has always had our back!
PROSWe use MSP360 for most of our customers on a variety of platforms and servers. It's a mature product and one rely on.
CONSIf pushed, I remember in the past there being a few times we had to chase support. But in the last 2 to 3 years this seems to have been addressed anyway.

No Cloud without CloudBerry
CloudBerry has been an essential component of our successful operations in AWS GovCloud. Hopefully, it will continue to deliver fantastic service now that it's owned by Microsoft. Thank you to the entire CloudBerry team for the assistance you've provided to us over the last seven years!
PROSSince we moved into the AWS GovCloud seven years ago, we have relied on CloudBerry for daily backups of our MS SQL Server database and our Perforce codebase. CloudBerry has been FANTASTIC! Great price, but more importantly, completely dependable and worth every dime. Support has always been quick and effective.

There is backup, and there is cloudberry backup
When you want to backup your information, computers, servers, NAS, and make it so that it is not that expensive, there is simply no better option out there.
PROSI really don't know the story of this company, but it feels like they have been around forever, they absolutely know everything about backup!!! They are extremely good, one of the few that connects with backblaze b2, it is such a nice thing to work with them, their support exceeds every expectation... there is just not a single bad thing one can say about this company. Everything they do is smart and well thought out. And you have so many extras like webinars where they explain everything. You can't go wrong with them!
CONSThere is nothing not to like, even the price is awesome, the only issue is that you have to pay for the licenses upfront and only on a year per year basis. Which makes it a bit more expensive to get started, but that is about it. Everything else is awesome.

Support is crappy
I use to like the ticket support of Cloudberry Labs. I have been a paid maintenance customer since 2013. In the maintenance plan they offer upgrades and support. Even though they enjoy my annual maintenance fees on 9 licenses they refuse to honor the upgrade clause in the agreement. I use to recommend the software and praise the support but in the past year it has went downhill fast. They don’t even read the issue in the support ticket and respond otherwise. I don’t not recommend them any more now based upon my real life experience now.
