Data protection needs are supported through effective cybersecurity features
I have installed Acronis Cyber Cloud for file server backup. The second destination for the file server backup is Acronis Cloud Storage The features I find most effective for cybersecurity include reporting, vulnerability scanning, ransomware protection, and encryption. With these features,…
Gerard Wolters - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use, immutable, and provides good deduplication features
When we wanted to back up our Microsoft environment, we looked for a cloud backup. Barracuda provided a cloud backup. There were no other products that offered similar features at that time. I will recommend the product to others. It is easy to use. It is a complete package. It is easy to integrate the product with Microsoft. We have a complete package that includes antispam and email gateway solutions. We can choose any package we want. We use Barracuda Essentials. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I would rate the overall solution as ten out of ten."
"The features I find most effective for cybersecurity include reporting, vulnerability scanning, ransomware protection, and encryption."
"The management of Acronis Cyber Cloud is straightforward due to its simplicity in configuration."
"I can expand on the fly by just adding space or the number of users."
"The assurance that we are always protected and backed up is a significant benefit."
"With Acronis Cyber Cloud, I can protect my backups and data from cyber threats."
"It is a highly scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."
"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."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."
"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."
"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
 

Cons

"Support for legacy storage solutions, like tape, could be improved. Acronis Cyber Cloud only supports on-premises solutions, and I wish there were a way to implement this support with the cloud or have another backup location, other than the cloud, instead of tape."
"Some improvement is needed in the speed when downloading data from the cloud backups, which requires more bandwidth."
"The interface could be improved, especially the cloud configuration, which currently has many tabs."
"With respect to support, I feel that sometimes there is a delay."
"If there is any attack on the server, I would like to know whether the backup image will be in a healthy or unhealthy status. Sandboxing features would be beneficial."
"Pricing is still a little high, as other vendors offer better pricing."
"Sandboxing features would be beneficial."
"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."
"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The current price for the advanced version is approximately 35,000 Indian rupees."
"It is about 6,900 or 7,000 a year. It goes up a little every year. Its price includes live updates, support, antivirus, and cloud storage. If I increase the cloud space, then the price would increase. It has been consistent for us."
"Because it is a single package that includes everything, they are worth the money that you need to pay for it. You are paying for the hardware, licensing, the software that runs on it, regular updates, the cloud features included with it along with the replication, and your space allocated in the cloud for replication. It is fairly priced for what you get."
"You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."
"It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."
"What I like best about Barracuda Backup is the licensing model."
"They're on par with their competitors."
"You don't need to buy an extra license or agent. With one box, you have licenses for any amount of devices that you want to backed up for whatever is backed up."
"The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."
