We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Barracuda Intronis Backup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."
"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service."
"Whenever you have a crash or your service is not working, you can just live-boot the machine and have your service up and running."
"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."
"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."
"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
