Things MSPs Don't Consider When Choosing Backup

Are you checking all the boxes?

Backup and disaster recovery solutions are crucial pieces of every MSP’s technology stack. Without them, clients are at risk of losing all their important data in the blink of an eye.

But choosing the perfect backup solution isn’t as easy as picking a can off a shelf, there’s a lot to consider and many features to compare.

That’s why we got our own Director of Vendor Relations Kameron Goldman and Dropsuite Chief Operating Officer Ridley Ruth together to discuss some of the biggest things MSPs overlook when searching for a continuity solution.

Kameron Goldman:
Hey Ridley, how’s it going?

Ridley Ruth:
Hey Kam, thanks for hopping on.

Goldman:
You got it, Ridley. What’s doing in the world of backup?

Ruth:
Did you know that experts predict that there will be a ransomware attack on businesses every 11 seconds by the end of 2021?

Goldman:
As an MSP, you know your client’s data is at risk and needs to be backed up, but there are a lot of solutions out there. How do you compare all of them?

Ruth:
Price is important, but you probably have obvious criteria like recovery speed, encryption, and analytics on your evaluation checklist.

Goldman:
But what about all the things you may not have considered when looking at a backup and archiving solution?

Ruth:
Let’s review some things that MSPs might not have considered when evaluating backup solutions.

Goldman:
Can you manage all your clients in one place with a multitenant portal?

Ruth:
Does the solution provide backup, archiving, and compliance in a single pane of glass?

Goldman:
Is the platform UI intuitive and easy to use on a daily basis?

Ruth:
Does the platform cover all of your backup and archiving needs? Or, will you need to layer multiple solutions from different vendors?

Goldman:
Is the solution roadmap driven specifically by MSP needs and partner feedback?

Ruth:
Does the solution offer regulatory compliance like FINRA and HIPAA?

Goldman:
Does the solution integrate with leading RMM tools?

Ruth:
Does the solution have hidden fees?

Goldman:
Does the solution integrate seamlessly with Pax8?

Goldman:
Wow, that’s a long list.

Ruth:
But there is a solution that will check all of those boxes.
