BigMind Resilience vs MSP360

Bring-your-own-storage versus storage in the seat. MSP360 is a capable, flexible backup tool for MSPs who want to own their storage economics. BigMind includes the storage, tiers it automatically, and adds the DR depth that decides how a bad day ends.

Where we differ

What BigMind adds over MSP360.

Storage is included, not brought

MSP360 is bring-your-own-storage: you open and manage an S3, Wasabi or B2 account, and the storage bill arrives separately from the licence. BigMind includes storage in the seat — one bill, no bucket policies, no second vendor to reconcile at month end.

Five recovery paths, not just restore

Browse Files, USB bare-metal, Instant Recovery, Cloud Desktop and Always-Ready VM. Our own competitor research puts MSP360 as a strong backup utility with a lighter DR posture — this is the gap that shows up on the day a client is down.

Deterministic canary on every tier

Hash-based ransomware detection on every plan including the free tier. No detection SKU to add, no ML training window before it works, and it freezes the backup chain rather than just alerting.

Tiering you do not have to engineer

Hot, Cold and Deep Freeze at $15, $8 and $5 per TB a month, and data moves between them as it ages. With BYOS the equivalent is lifecycle rules you write, test and maintain in someone else’s console.

“Varies” means the capability exists on some MSP360 editions or add-ons. We don't list competitor prices we can't source, and MSP360's per-device pricing is published on their own site — check it there rather than here.

A fair comparison

Where MSP360 is the better choice.

If you already run object storage at scale and want to own that line item, BYOS is a real advantage and MSP360 is built around it — negotiate your own rate, move providers when it suits you, and keep the margin. Their per-device pricing is public and easy to model, and the backup engine itself is solid. Our own competitor research calls MSP360 a serious price-and-flexibility benchmark, and that is the honest read.

BigMind suits the MSP who would rather not run a storage business at all: one bill, tiering handled for you, and DR depth that turns a client outage into an afternoon instead of a week.

Run the margin yourself.
