Their list price is too high, but in India, the selling price is affordable at around $10 per user per year. Despite a list price possibly around $40 per user, their market price allows customers to easily buy the solution.

We also checked with other vendors, and we got the solution at the cheapest price in our region. Currently, we are paying 8.75 per month per user.

Opting for a hosted solution would be a more advantageous choice for the customer. Managing all the equipment on-site carries the risk of potential failures and maintenance challenges.

The price is similar to that of Microsoft 365. There’s only a 4% to 5% difference between the prices of Barracuda and Microsoft 365.

When we started with it, I think they were eager to get people in, but we only had $20,000 in our budget for backup, so that's all we had to work with and I told the sales rep that. They kept it in line. They came in, I think just pennies under $20,000, which was pretty good.
It was pretty good because other solutions were much higher and that included two terabytes of space for message archiving. And if I remember correctly Office 365 Cloud Backup was unlimited.
It seemed to be a package deal. It was a package deal because we had a price that we needed to stay under and they worked on getting to that price.
We pay annually. They never charged us for anything else. And they were quite a bit under that $20,000 mark. It was $19,074. And they've been pretty good about not skyrocketing the price or anything like that. It has gone up. It's gone up to $24,000 in 2020.

The licensing and pricing need to be improved. It needs to be streamlined and a bit cheaper. That said, I don't directly deal with the licensing. I can't speak to how much we paid for it.
I'd rate the solution 3.5 out of five in terms of affordability.

I suggest negotiating either at the end of their fiscal year or at the end of every quarter. At the end of the quarter, they have an incentive to lower the prices to sell as many units as possible in order to meet their end-of-quarter quota.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five or six out of ten.
