Reliable and esay-to-manage backup solution
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use StorageCraft Cloud Backup both internally and to manage clients' backups. It certainly addresses the need for simplicity MSPs have when managing multiple sites and agents as it provides a single pane of glass view of all sites. Moreover, its simple structure of sites and policies makes management easier and reduces manual work significantly.
Pros
- Resilient, reliable and automatic retention and consolidation
- Scalable deployment by using sites and policies
- Easy for level 1 engineers to understand and manage
Cons
- Reporting is not white-labelled and its design has room for improvement
- No automatic/scheduled virtual boot tests
- Customization is very limited
Likelihood to Recommend
StorageCraft Cloud Backup is scalable and easy to deploy and manage the product. In my opinion, it's great for MSPs or for anyone managing multiple sites where keeping standards is a priority. Compared to using ShadowProtect and Image Manager, it requires a lot less manual work to maintain and keep running smoothly.
However options and customization are more restricted so I wouldn't recommend it for non-standard environments, or scenarios where each agent needs a different configuration.
