Has ensured reliable data protection and quick recovery across various industries

The features of Acronis Cyber Protect that I find most useful for my customers are the Vault, data protection, and the ability to protect and access data anytime with the Vault feature. The AI-based antimalware feature in Acronis Cyber Protect is very effective in preventing cyber threats. AI is a good asset in protecting cybersecurity because it provides inception into threats and how to react with them before securing. It is very important and a great asset as a feature. The biggest benefit of Acronis Cyber Protect for my customers is that it is a great asset to protect business data and ensure data is in a secure Vault. Users can gain access to their data anytime. My future work will require mobility, so cloud-based access to data will be very beneficial.

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

"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."

"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."

"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."

"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."

"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."

"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."

"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."

"I recommend this solution every chance I get, including for personal use."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."

"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."

"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."

"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."

"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."

"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."

Cons

"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."

"The replication part and failover are areas in which improvements are required."

"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."

"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."

"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks."

"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."

"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."

"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."

"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."

"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."

"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."

"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."

"It is not always stable."

"Barracuda works great for smaller network environments, which are not that complex. It is hardware-based with a Linux core, which you don't have access to, and a lot of stuff happens on the back-end. Even from a troubleshooting perspective, it is a bit challenging."

"I would like to see a way to increase space."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."

"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."

"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."

"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."

"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."

"It is a low-cost solution."

"I like the pricing, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. "

"The price is reasonable."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"They're on par with their competitors."

"What I like best about Barracuda Backup is the licensing model."

"The licensing is charged yearly. It's my understanding that the cost of the solution is somewhere around $7,000 every two years."

"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."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"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."
